archive

A workflow phase that moves completed work-in-progress files into `docs/archive/` before a change is committed. It archives materials such as intake notes, research, specifications, approvals, reports, and diagrams.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after documentation is complete and before committing a workflow item, so the related artifacts are archived together.
Why use it?
It keeps the active project tree clean while preserving the history of the work that led to the commit.

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

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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (archive.sh, corpus-digest.mjs, reverify-guard.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 121 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

archive — Phase 10.5

Invoked after /document and before /commit. Pillar 4 of seed.md ("no historical data — moved to archive") happens here.

The archival bundle is planned at spec time — the spec's slug determines which files travel together. This skill is the executor.

Prereq

workflow.json must have document in completed OR in exceptions. Otherwise stop and say which phase is missing.

Steps

  1. Read .claude/state/workflow.json to get the slug (derive from request, or from any docs/specs/*.md that was produced — whichever is present).

  2. Render the per-phase timing table FIRST (before the move, while the consent tokens are still in .claude/state/):

    node .claude/hooks/lib/timing.mjs render <slug>
    

    It reads the phase_timer stamps at .claude/state/timing/<slug>.jsonl plus consent-token mtimes (spec_approvals/<slug>.approval, commit_consent) and writes a per-phase model-time-vs-human-wait table to <bundle>/timing.md. The table is born in the bundle (it creates the bundle dir). It must run before Step 4 because the archive script moves spec_approvals/<slug>.approval into the bundle — render it first or the approve-direction gate's human-wait reads n/a. Best-effort — a missing/sparse timing log yields a header-only table, never an error.

  3. Verify the spec's declared delta against the landed diff with verifyAndApplyDelta, then apply only what it confirms (gated by memory.architecture_map.enabled; skip the whole of Steps 3 and 5.5 when false). This is what keeps docs/system/ true to what is on disk instead of drifting the moment the next cycle ships.

    It must run before Step 4, for the same reason Step 2 does. archive.sh moves docs/specs/<slug>.md into the bundle; after that resolveSpecPath returns null, the ## System delta table is never read, and every array below comes back empty — which is byte-identical to a spec that declared nothing. Verify first, or a real drift archives silently green. The specMissing field exists to make that failure loud if the order is ever changed back: when it is true, the empty arrays mean the table was not read, not the table was clean.

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

archive is a skill published in the GitHub repository friedbotstudio/baseline (11 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 77 tokens to every session and 2,887 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
