openspec-archive-change

Archive a completed change in the experimental workflow. **Input**: Optionally specify a change name. If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes. **Steps** 1. **If no change name provided, prompt for selection** Run `openspec list --json` to get available changes. Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select. Show only active changes (not already archived). Include the schema used for each change if available. **IMPORTANT**: Do NOT guess or auto-select a change. Always let the user choose. 2. **Check artifact completion status** Run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json` to check artifact completion. Parse the JSON to understand: - `schemaName`: The workflow being used - `artifacts`: List of artifacts with their status (`done` or other) **If any artifacts are not `done`:** - Display warning listing incomplete artifacts - Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to confirm user wants to proceed - Proceed if user confirms 3. **Check task completion status** Read the tasks file (typically `tasks.md`) to check for incomplete tasks. Count tasks marked with `- [ ]` (incomplete) vs `- [x]` (complete). **If incomplete tasks found:** - Display warning showing count of incomplete tasks - Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to confirm user wants to proceed - Proceed if user confirms **If no tasks file exists:** Proceed without task-related warning. 4. **Assess delta spec sync state** Check for delta specs at `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/`. If none exist, proceed without sync prompt. **If delta specs exist:** - Compare each delta spec with its corresponding main spec at `openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md` - Determine what changes would be applied (adds, modifications, removals, renames) - Show a combined summary before prompting **Prompt options:** - If changes needed: "Sync now (recommended)", "Archive without syncing" - If already synced: "Archive now", "Sync anyway", "Cancel" If user chooses sync, use Task tool (subagent_type: "general-purpose", prompt: "Use Skill tool to invoke openspec-sync-specs for change '<name>'. Delta spec analysis: <include the analyzed delta spec summary>"). Proceed to archive regardless of choice. 5. **Perform the archive** Create the archive directory if it doesn't exist: ```bash mkdir -p openspec/changes/archive ``` Generate target name using current date: `YYYY-MM-DD-<change-name>` **Check if target already exists:** - If yes: Fail with error, suggest renaming existing archive or using different date - If no: Move the change directory to archive ```bash git mv openspec/changes/<name> openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name> ``` 6. **Display summary** Show archive completion summary including: - Change name - Schema that was used - Archive location - Whether specs were synced (if applicable) - Note about any warnings (incomplete artifacts/tasks) **Output On Success** ``` ## Archive Complete **Change:** <change-name> **Schema:** <schema-name> **Archived to:** openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/ **Specs:** ✓ Synced to main specs (or "No delta specs" or "Sync skipped") All artifacts complete. All tasks complete. ``` **Guardrails** - Always prompt for change selection if not provided - Use artifact graph (openspec status --json) for completion checking - Don't block archive on warnings - just inform and confirm - Preserve .openspec.yaml when moving to archive (it moves with the directory) - Show clear summary of what happened - If sync is requested, use openspec-sync-specs approach (agent-driven) - If delta specs exist, always run the sync assessment and show the combined summary before prompting
