Where do the archived changes go?

Changes are moved to a dedicated 'openspec/changes/archive' directory. Each archived change is prefixed with the current date (YYYY-MM-DD) to maintain a clear chronological record.

How does the skill handle conflicting specification requirements?

The skill intelligently scans your codebase for implementation evidence. If multiple changes touch the same capability, it determines which ones are actually coded and applies them in chronological order to ensure the documentation reflects the current state of the software.

Can I archive changes that aren't 100% complete?

Yes, but the skill will provide a detailed status table highlighting incomplete tasks or artifacts. You will receive a warning and can then choose to archive them anyway, skip them, or cancel the operation.

Does it automatically move files without asking?

No. The skill follows a strict 'AskUserQuestion' protocol, requiring you to select the specific changes to archive and providing a final confirmation step before any file operations occur.

Productivity & Workflow

Archives multiple completed OpenSpec changes simultaneously while intelligently resolving specification conflicts through codebase analysis.

The OpenSpec Bulk Archiver is a sophisticated workflow tool designed to streamline the lifecycle of technical specifications. It allows developers to batch-process completed changes, moving them to a dated archive while ensuring the integrity of the project's documentation. The skill performs deep validation by checking artifact status and task completion, and features an agentic conflict resolution system that scans the codebase to determine which specifications have actually been implemented. This ensures that only verified, up-to-date requirements are synchronized into the main project specs, preventing documentation rot in complex, parallel development environments.
