Where are the archived changes stored?

Changes are moved to the 'openspec/changes/archive/' directory and renamed using a 'YYYY-MM-DD-change-name' format for easy chronological tracking.

Can I archive a change if the artifacts aren't marked as 'done'?

Yes, while the skill will warn you about incomplete artifacts based on the OpenSpec status, it allows you to confirm and proceed if the implementation is intentionally left in that state.

What happens if I try to archive a change with incomplete tasks?

The skill will detect incomplete tasks in your tasks.md file, display a warning count, and use the AskUserQuestion tool to confirm if you want to proceed with the archive anyway.

Do I need any specific tools installed to use this skill?

Yes, this skill requires the openspec CLI to be installed and available in your environment to query change statuses and perform syncs.

Does this skill automatically update my main specifications?

It provides a guided sync process. If delta specs exist, it compares them to the main specs, shows a summary of changes, and allows you to sync them before the archive is finalized.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Archives completed experimental workflow changes by verifying completion status and syncing specifications to the main project.

The OpenSpec Change Archiver is designed to manage the final lifecycle stages of development changes within the OpenSpec framework. It automates the transition from active development to historical record by performing a multi-step validation process that checks artifact completion, task status, and specification synchronization. By intelligently prompting users to merge delta specs into main documentation and organizing files into a structured, dated archive, this skill ensures a clean workspace and consistent project documentation for high-velocity development teams.
