dx-archive

dx-archive is a skill for Claude Code from dikamilo/dx-workflow. It costs 23 tokens per session (665 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for closing a completed change or effort by moving its project folder into context/archive/ and recording when it was archived. An effort is a larger body of work that can contain several changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a change or effort is finished and its folder should be retired. It also identifies open child changes or pending review findings that need attention first.
Why use it?
It keeps finished work separate from active work and prevents incomplete work from being marked done accidentally. It checks child changes and unresolved implementation-review findings before archiving.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

dx-archive scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 22d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 44 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

dx-archive

Retire a finished container. One id in, one folder moved, one stamp written. No registry — the archive is just where done work lives.

Guard. If the id resolves to nothing, or the folder can't move cleanly, do nothing and say why. Never half-move.

Resolve

The argument is one id. Find its home:

  • context/changes/<id>/ → it's a change.
  • context/efforts/<id>/ → it's an effort.
  • Neither, or both → fail loud: print what you looked for and stop. (Already under context/archive/? Say it's already archived.)

Effort gate — children first

An effort is done only when every child change is already archived. Before moving an effort, read its roadmap.md, and for each linked child change check for archived_at (derive it — scan the child's change.md, don't trust a checkbox). If any child is still open, list them and ask before continuing. The user may override.

Review gate — unresolved findings

Scan every reviews/*.md in the container except the legacy impl-review.md and plan-review.md, which triage no longer reads. For each report with any finding marked Resolution: PENDING, warn — "N unresolved finding(s) in reviews/.md — /dx-review-triage to address them first" — and ask whether to archive anyway. The user may override.

Move and stamp

  1. Destination: context/archive/<today>-<id>/ where <today> is date +%F. If it already exists, fail loud and stop.
  2. Stamp the moved container's change.md (or effort.md): set status: archived and archived_at: to today's date (date +%F, same format as created/updated — no other field in the schema carries a finer timestamp); bump updated:. Leave every other field alone. For the exact schema, invoke dx-references with topic change-md (a change) or effort-md (an effort).
  3. Move the whole folder: prefer git mv so history follows; fall back to mv (warn) if git is unavailable. Confirm the source is gone and the destination exists — if not, print a diagnostic and stop.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
