name	strata:archive-planning
disable-model-invocation	true
description	Retire a `.planning/<initiative>/` subdir after its content has been migrated to the vault via `/strata:bootstrap`. Runs `git mv .planning/<initiative> .attic/<initiative>` and commits. Refuses to archive subdirs that aren't fully bootstrap-processed (to avoid losing knowledge). NEVER auto-invokes, always require explicit user request, since the operation rewrites the working tree.

strata:archive-planning

The "retire after migrate" step in the per-initiative planning Workflow. Use after /strata:bootstrap over a shipped initiative's Planning dir has pulled the durable knowledge into the vault.

How

Dry-run first:

"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/strata" archive-planning \
  .planning/auth-rewrite

If every file is bootstrap-processed, you'll see the proposed git Mv + commit. Otherwise the script lists the unprocessed files and Refuses, telling you to bootstrap them first.

Then apply:

"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/strata" archive-planning \
  .planning/auth-rewrite --apply

The script:

1. Verifies every .md in the subdir is in .bootstrap-state.json with a current SHA (i.e. processed AND unchanged since)
2. git mv .planning/auth-rewrite .attic/auth-rewrite
3. git commit -m "chore: archive planning .planning/auth-rewrite → .attic/auth-rewrite"

When to use --force

You can pass --force to archive a subdir with unprocessed files, but understand the consequence: the knowledge in those files Doesn't make it into the vault. They'll still exist in git history Under .attic/, but Strata won't surface them in searches.

Reasonable cases:

• The subdir has scratch / TODO files you intentionally didn't bootstrap (e.g. BRAINSTORM.md, TEMP.md)
• You're archiving stale planning you specifically don't want in the vault

In every other case, run /strata:bootstrap over the subdir first.

Don't do

• Don't run this on directories outside .planning/ / .scratch/ unless you know what you're doing, there's no scope check beyond "must be inside the project tree."
• Don't auto-invoke. The user must explicitly ask. The Stop hook doesn't suggest this, the SessionStart primer doesn't suggest this. Archive is a deliberate, end-of-initiative action.
• Don't archive when the bootstrap migration produced lots of proposed ADRs you haven't reviewed yet. The whole point of the workflow is settling state before retiring source.
