Does this skill automatically merge my specifications?

It assesses delta specs and provides a summary of changes. You can then choose to 'Sync now' (recommended) or 'Archive without syncing' depending on your project needs.

How are archived changes organized?

Changes are moved to the openspec/changes/archive/ directory and renamed using a YYYY-MM-DD-prefix to maintain a clear chronological history.

Does this require the OpenSpec CLI?

Yes, this skill is designed to work in conjunction with the OpenSpec CLI to manage workflow states and artifact tracking.

What happens if I have incomplete tasks when archiving?

The skill will detect incomplete items in your tasks.md file, display a warning with the count of remaining tasks, and require user confirmation before proceeding with the archive.

Can I archive a change if the artifacts aren't finished?

Yes, but the skill will run a status check via the OpenSpec CLI and warn you about incomplete artifacts, asking for explicit permission to continue.
