How does the skill handle overlapping specification changes?

The skill identifies 'conflicts' where multiple changes touch the same capability. It then searches the codebase for implementation evidence to decide which spec to sync or determines a chronological order for merging.

Is the OpenSpec CLI required for this skill?

Yes, this skill relies on the openspec CLI to list active changes, check artifact status, and sync specifications with the main codebase.

Does this skill delete my feature data?

No, it safely moves your change directories from the active path to a dedicated archive folder (openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-name), preserving your project history.

Can I archive changes that still have incomplete tasks?

Yes. The tool will display a warning table showing the status of artifacts and tasks. You can then choose to archive all selected changes, only the ready ones, or cancel the operation.

Productivity & Workflow

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

The OpenSpec Bulk Change Archiver is designed to streamline the lifecycle management of specification-driven projects. It allows developers to batch-select completed features or changes, performing automated status checks on artifacts and tasks before moving them to a dated archive. A standout feature is its agentic conflict resolution, which scans your codebase to determine which specifications have been implemented when multiple changes overlap, ensuring your main project documentation remains accurate and synchronized without manual merging.
