Where are the archived changes stored?

They are moved to the openspec/changes/archive/ directory and renamed with a YYYY-MM-DD- prefix followed by the original change name.

What is the primary purpose of the openspec-archive-change skill?

It automates the finalization of development changes by checking artifact status, syncing specifications, and moving completed work to a dedicated archive.

Does it automatically sync my specs without asking?

No, the skill assesses the differences between delta specs and main specs, then prompts you to choose whether to sync, skip, or cancel before archiving.

What happens if I have incomplete tasks?

The skill will detect incomplete items in your tasks.md file and issue a warning, requiring your explicit confirmation before it allows the archive process to continue.

Is the OpenSpec CLI required for this skill to work?

Yes, this skill relies on the openspec CLI to list changes, check status, and perform the underlying specification management tasks.
