description	Use when an OpenSpec change or GSD phase is claimed complete, ready to archive, ready to ship, ready to commit, or ready for pull request

Spec Archive Gate

Principle

Archive only after evidence exists. A completed checklist without verification is not enough.

Required Gates

• OpenSpec shape is valid
• all OpenSpec tasks are complete or explicitly deferred
• every acceptance scenario has test or manual verification evidence
• non-goals are not violated
• design constraints are satisfied
• GSD phase verification is recorded when GSD is in use
• Superpowers verification-before-completion has run for code changes
• skipped checks are named with reasons

In no-GSD mode, skip GSD verification. That is not a missing gate.

Run node cli/bridge.mjs archive-readiness <change-id-or-path> when available. This catches only mechanical blockers; still run spec compliance review.

Output

Report:

• archive decision
• shipped scope
• verification commands and results
• known risks
• deferred work
• exact blockers, if any

Stop Rule

If any required gate fails, do not archive, commit, ship, or open a ready PR.
