Where can I find my archived changes later?

All archived changes are moved to the openspec/changes/archive/ directory and renamed with a YYYY-MM-DD prefix for easy chronological browsing.

Does this skill automatically update my main specifications?

It assesses the sync state between your delta specs and main specs, providing a summary of changes and an option to run a sync logic before the directory is moved.

Can I archive a change without using the openspec CLI?

No, this skill requires the openspec CLI to accurately check artifact status and list available changes.

What happens if I have incomplete tasks when archiving?

The skill scans your tasks.md file for incomplete items and will display a warning and prompt for your confirmation before allowing the archive to proceed.
