How does the skill handle associated task files?

It automatically searches for linked task files in the same directory or a /tasks/ subdirectory and moves them alongside the PRD to maintain project context.

Where are the files moved to by default?

Files are moved to a structured hierarchy: product-docs/prds/archive/[Year]/[Quarter]/[Status]/, creating a clean and searchable historical record.

What happens to my git history when I archive a PRD?

The skill uses git mv internally when a repository is detected, ensuring that the entire version history of your document is preserved in its new archive location.

Can I archive a PRD that is still marked as 'In Progress'?

Yes, by using the --force flag and specifying a reason, you can archive PRDs that were cancelled or pivoted before they reached the 'Complete' status.

Does it calculate implementation time?

Yes, if dates are available in the PRD, the skill calculates the duration between the start date and the archive date to provide data for velocity tracking.
