SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Archives completed spectra changes from spectra, preserving provenance and enabling reproducible deployments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end archive workflow: snapshot the change, apply delta specs, and index artifacts for traceability.
  • Guardrails and prompts: validate artifact and task completion statuses, assess delta specs, and prompt the user when intervention is needed.
  • Reproducible archiving: store archives under openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name> with a note of any warnings.

Quick Start

Run the spectra archive command with the target change name to begin archiving.

Frequently Asked Questions about spectra-archive

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I archive completed OpenSpec changes with provenance and delta specs?

Run the spectra archive command with the target change name to snapshot the change, apply delta specs, validate artifacts, and store the archive under openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name> with provenance intact.

What is delta spec synchronization in a workflow archive process?

Delta spec synchronization assesses and applies specification changes during archiving to ensure reproducible deployments. The process validates delta spec statuses and prompts for user intervention when checks fail before storing the archive.

Do I need the spectra CLI to archive changes to OpenSpec?

Yes, the spectra CLI is required to execute the archiving workflow. It drives snapshotting changes, validating artifact completion statuses, synchronizing delta specs, and storing archives in the openspec/changes/archive directory.

Can I skip delta spec checks when archiving a spectra change?

Yes, you can skip delta spec checks during archiving using optional flags. The workflow supports skipping specs and marking tasks complete, though the archive notes any warnings resulting from skipped validations.

Why does my workflow archive include warnings in the OpenSpec archive directory?

Workflow archives include warnings when delta spec checks are skipped or when artifact and task completion statuses require intervention. The archiving process notes these warnings within the openspec/changes/archive directory to maintain provenance and transparency.
