What is the primary purpose of the OpenSpec Bulk Archive Manager?

It is designed to help developers using the OpenSpec framework to archive multiple completed changes at once while ensuring that their documentation (specs) remains accurate and synced with the actual implementation in the codebase.

How does the skill handle conflicts between different specification changes?

The skill performs a codebase search to see which requirements have actually been implemented. If multiple changes touch the same spec, it resolves the conflict based on what it finds in the code or applies them in chronological order.

Can I archive changes that aren't fully completed?

Yes. The skill will display a status table highlighting incomplete tasks or artifacts and will prompt you for confirmation before archiving those specific changes with a warning.

Where are the archived changes stored?

Changes are moved to the 'openspec/changes/archive/' directory and renamed with a date-stamped prefix (YYYY-MM-DD-name) to maintain a clear historical record.

Productivity & Workflow

Streamlines the archival of multiple completed OpenSpec changes with intelligent conflict resolution and codebase validation.

The OpenSpec Bulk Archive Manager is a specialized utility designed for developers using the OpenSpec framework to maintain clean and organized project environments. It automates the complex process of batch-archiving parallel development tracks by analyzing artifact status, task completion, and delta specifications. The skill uniquely employs agentic reasoning to resolve specification conflicts by inspecting the actual codebase for implementation evidence, ensuring that only verified documentation is synced to the main specs during the archival process, preventing data loss or incorrect documentation overwrites.
