FAQPage Schema
How do I archive completed OpenSpec changes to keep project records clean?▼

To archive completed OpenSpec changes, you move the change directory to the openspec/changes/archive folder with a date-stamped structure, preserving traceability and ensuring auditable records.

What does the OpenSpec change archival workflow check before moving artifacts?▼

The OpenSpec change archival workflow performs artifact and task status checks via the openspec CLI to verify that a change is validated and ready before executing safe move operations.

When should I archive a delta-spec in OpenSpec change management?▼

You should archive a delta-spec in OpenSpec change management when a change is fully validated and ready, utilizing the optional delta-spec synchronization to preserve metadata during the archival process.

Does OpenSpec archiving preserve metadata when moving completed changes?▼

Yes, OpenSpec archiving preserves metadata by using safe move operations that transfer the validated change directory to a date-stamped archive folder without losing traceability or auditable records.

What is the best way to automate OpenSpec change archiving after implementation?▼

The best way to automate OpenSpec change archiving is to use a multi-step workflow that validates artifact and task statuses via the openspec CLI, then performs date-based archiving with optional delta-spec synchronization.

Can I archive an OpenSpec change if artifact or task status checks fail?▼

Archiving an OpenSpec change requires artifact and task status checks to pass via the openspec CLI first; if these validation checks fail, the change is not ready and the safe move operation will not proceed.
