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

The skill will detect incomplete tasks in your tasks.md or via the CLI status and display a warning. It will require you to explicitly confirm via the AskUserQuestion tool before it proceeds with the archival.

Where are the archived changes stored?

Changes are moved to a standardized directory located at 'openspec/changes/archive/', using a dated naming convention: YYYY-MM-DD- .

Does this skill automatically merge my delta specs into the main project?

The skill assesses the sync state between your delta specs and main specs. If differences are found, it prompts you with a summary and offers to sync them (via the openspec-sync-specs logic) before completing the archive.

Do I need any specific software to use this skill?

Yes, this skill requires the OpenSpec CLI to be installed and configured in your environment to fetch change lists and status reports.
