What problem does it solve?

Archiving the final step of an SDD cycle by syncing delta specs into master specs and moving the completed change into archive history, ensuring the master specs reflect the latest approved changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Delta-to-master merge: merge deltas into the master specification to reflect new behavior.
  • Lifecycle archiving: move the change from openspec/changes to openspec/changes/archive with a closure record.
  • Governed by rules: verify-steps ensure no unresolved critical issues before archiving; supports user docs checks when relevant.

Quick Start

Provide the change name and confirm archiving to finalize the SDD cycle.

FAQPage Schema
How do I sync delta specs to master specs and archive a completed SDD change?▼

Does archiving delta specs require explicit confirmation before modifying master specs?▼

Yes, archiving delta specs requires explicit confirmation before modifying permanent records. The system prompts you to confirm the action before merging deltas into openspec/specs and moving the change folder to archive.

What's the best way to finalize an openspec change and update master specs?▼

The best way to finalize an openspec change is to sync delta specs into master specs and move the change folder to openspec/changes/archive/. This merges approved deltas and creates a closure record for the change.
