opsx-archive

Archive a completed change in the experimental workflow.

Input: Optionally specify a change name after /opsx-archive (e.g., /opsx-archive add-auth). If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.

Steps

1. If no change name provided, prompt for selection

   Run openspec list --json to get available changes. Use the AskUserQuestion tool to let the user select.

   Show only active changes (not already archived). Include the schema used for each change if available.

   IMPORTANT: Do NOT guess or auto-select a change. Always let the user choose.

2. Check artifact completion status

   Run openspec status --change "<name>" --json to check artifact completion.

   Parse the JSON to understand:

   • schemaName: The workflow being used
   • artifacts: List of artifacts with their status (done or other)

   If any artifacts are not done:

   • Display warning listing incomplete artifacts
   • Prompt user for confirmation to continue
   • Proceed if user confirms

3. Check task completion status

   Read the tasks file (typically tasks.md) to check for incomplete tasks.

   Count tasks marked with - [ ] (incomplete) vs - [x] (complete).

   If incomplete tasks found:

   • Display warning showing count of incomplete tasks
   • Prompt user for confirmation to continue
   • Proceed if user confirms

   If no tasks file exists: Proceed without task-related warning.

4. Assess delta spec sync state

   Check for delta specs at openspec/changes/<name>/specs/. If none exist, proceed without sync prompt.

   If delta specs exist:

   • Compare each delta spec with its corresponding main spec at openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md
   • Determine what changes would be applied (adds, modifications, removals, renames)
   • Show a combined summary before prompting

   Prompt options:

   • If changes needed: "Sync now (recommended)", "Archive without syncing"
   • If already synced: "Archive now", "Sync anyway", "Cancel"

   If user chooses sync, use Task tool (subagent_type: "general-purpose", prompt: "Use Skill tool to invoke openspec-sync-specs for change ''. Delta spec analysis: "). Proceed to archive regardless of choice.

4a. Commit and push all changes

Before archiving, ensure all work is committed:

1. Run git status --short to check for uncommitted changes.
2. If uncommitted changes exist:
   • Stage the change directory and implementation files explicitly: git add openspec/changes/<name>/ .opencode/ and any other modified files shown by git status --short
   • Commit with a descriptive message: git commit -m "feat(<name>): complete implementation"
   • Push to remote: git push
3. Verify the working tree is clean after push.

CRITICAL: Do NOT move to the archive step with uncommitted changes. All work must be committed and pushed before the change directory is moved to the archive.

1. Perform the archive

   Create the archive directory if it doesn't exist:

   mkdir -p openspec/changes/archive
   

   Generate target name using current date: YYYY-MM-DD-<change-name>

   Check if target already exists:

   • If yes: Fail with error, suggest renaming existing archive or using different date
   • If no: Move the change directory to archive

   mv openspec/changes/<name> openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>
   

5a. Return to main branch

After the archive move completes:

git checkout main

The opsx/<name> branch still exists locally. Note in the summary that the developer can delete it manually with git branch -d opsx/<name> if desired.

1. Display summary

   Show archive completion summary including:

   • Change name
   • Schema that was used
   • Archive location
   • Spec sync status (synced / sync skipped / no delta specs)
   • Note about any warnings (incomplete artifacts/tasks)
