FAQPage Schema

How do I merge spec deltas into reference specs after a change is completed?▼

Merging spec deltas into reference specs requires applying completeness checks, folding the deltas into the source-of-truth references, validating the result, and relocating the change under the archive directory.

What is the best way to archive monorepo spec changes while preserving history?▼

The best way to archive monorepo spec changes is by merging deltas into reference specs and moving the completed change folder to a dated archive directory structured as specs/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-slug/.

Does archiving spec changes validate the merged reference specs for consistency?▼

Yes, the archive process validates the merged reference specs for consistency using a spec-critic agent, ensuring the updated reference specs remain accurate and reliable as the single source of truth.

When do I need to archive a completed spec change in a monorepo workflow?▼

You need to archive a completed spec change in a monorepo workflow once the deltas are finalized, triggering the process to update the reference specs and relocate the change folder to the dated archive directory.

Can I use this archiving workflow without a spec validation agent?▼

The workflow is designed to validate merged specs with a spec-critic agent to ensure consistency. Bypassing this validation step risks introducing inconsistencies into the reference specs during the delta merge.
