Can I archive a change if I haven't finished all the tasks?

Yes, but the skill will detect incomplete tasks or artifacts and prompt you for confirmation before proceeding to ensure you don't archive unfinished work by mistake.

What happens if I don't specify which change to archive?

Claude will use the OpenSpec CLI to list all active changes and ask you to select the correct one from a list, ensuring the right project is archived.

Where are the archived changes stored?

Changes are moved to the 'openspec/changes/archive' directory and renamed with a YYYY-MM-DD prefix for easy chronological tracking.

What is the primary purpose of the OpenSpec Change Archiver?

It is designed to finalize a development 'change' by verifying all work is done, syncing any specification updates, and moving the files to a timestamped archive folder.

How does the skill handle specification updates?

It checks for 'delta specs' within the change directory, compares them to your main project specs, and offers to sync the changes before archiving.

生产力与工作流

Finalizes and archives completed development changes within the OpenSpec experimental workflow.

The OpenSpec Change Archiver skill streamlines the transition from implementation to completion by automating the cleanup and preservation of development tasks. It intelligently verifies that all artifacts and tasks are marked as finished, assesses delta specifications for synchronization into main spec files, and moves the change directory to a timestamped archive. This ensures your workspace remains organized while maintaining a reliable historical record of every architectural and code modification.
