Does it require any external dependencies?

Yes, this skill requires the openspec CLI to be installed and accessible in your environment to perform status checks and listing operations.

Does this skill automatically sync my documentation?

It assesses delta specs against main specs and provides a recommended sync option to ensure your main documentation is updated before the change is moved to the archive.

What happens if I have incomplete tasks when archiving?

The skill will detect incomplete tasks in your tasks.md file and prompt you for confirmation before proceeding, ensuring no unfinished work is accidentally archived.

How are archived changes organized?

Changes are moved to a dedicated archive directory and renamed with a YYYY-MM-DD prefix, allowing for easy chronological tracking of project history.

Productivity & Workflow

Finalizes and archives completed development changes while ensuring artifact completion and spec synchronization.

The openspec-archive-change skill automates the final phase of the OpenSpec experimental workflow, allowing developers to cleanly move completed changes into a dated archive. It performs critical safety checks by verifying artifact and task completion, prompts for necessary delta spec synchronization, and organizes historical changes to maintain a clean project structure. This skill is essential for developers using spec-driven development who need to preserve an audit trail of implementations while keeping their active workspace focused and clutter-free.
