Can I bypass the pre-archive condition checks?

Yes, you can use the --force flag to skip pre-archive checks, although following the standard workflow is recommended for data integrity.

What cloud storage does Spec Archiver use?

The skill utilizes the fractary-file plugin to handle cloud uploads, ensuring your specifications are securely stored before any local cleanup occurs.

Will it delete my local files if the cloud upload fails?

No, the skill enforces a strict rule to only remove local specifications after a successful upload and index update have been verified.

How does this help with repository size?

By moving large specification documents to the cloud and only keeping a small index entry locally, it prevents your Git repository from becoming bloated over time.

Does it support GitHub integration?

Yes, it automatically posts comments on both the relevant GitHub issue and any associated Pull Requests with the new archive URLs.

Collaboration Tools

Automates the end-to-end archival of technical specifications to cloud storage with GitHub synchronization and local cleanup.

About

Spec Archiver is a specialized workflow skill designed to streamline the final phase of technical documentation management. When an issue is closed or a PR is merged, this skill automatically identifies all related specifications, uploads them to cloud storage via the fractary-file plugin, and updates a centralized archive index. It ensures seamless team communication by posting archive URLs directly to GitHub issues and Pull Requests, then cleans up the local environment by removing the files and committing the changes to Git. This prevents repository bloat while maintaining a permanent, searchable record of all design decisions.
