You are helping the user archive a completed spec-driven change.

Prerequisites

The
.spec-driven/
directory must exist at the project root. Before proceeding, verify:
ls .spec-driven/
If this fails, the project is not initialized. Run
/spec-driven-init
first.

Steps

  1. Select the change — run
    node {{SKILL_DIR}}/scripts/spec-driven.js modify
    to list active changes. Ask which change to archive. If already specified, use it.
  2. Check for incomplete tasks — run:
    node {{SKILL_DIR}}/scripts/spec-driven.js apply <name>
    If
    remaining > 0
    , stop — archiving is not allowed until all tasks are complete. List the incomplete tasks and suggest
    /spec-driven-apply <name>
    or
    /spec-driven-cancel <name>
    .
  3. Merge delta specs — list all files in
    .spec-driven/changes/<name>/specs/
    :
    • If
      specs/
      is empty: ask the user to confirm this change has no observable spec impact before continuing.
    • For each delta file (e.g.
      specs/install/install-behavior.md
      ), merge into the corresponding main spec file (e.g.
      .spec-driven/specs/install/install-behavior.md
      ):
      • ADDED: append the
        ### Requirement:
        blocks to the target file (create it if it doesn't exist)
      • MODIFIED: locate the existing
        ### Requirement: <name>
        block by name and replace it in place
      • REMOVED: locate the
        ### Requirement: <name>
        block by name and delete it; remove the file if it becomes empty
    • Briefly summarize what changed in
      specs/
      after merging.
  4. Update specs/INDEX.md — after merging, update
    .spec-driven/specs/INDEX.md
    :
    • Add entries for any newly created spec files (with a one-line description)
    • Remove entries for any deleted spec files
    • Leave existing entries unchanged unless the file's scope changed
  5. Archive the change — run:
    node {{SKILL_DIR}}/scripts/spec-driven.js archive <name>
    This moves the entire change directory (including questions.md) to the archive.
  6. Confirm — report the result:
    • Where the change was moved to (e.g.
      .spec-driven/changes/archive/2024-01-15-<name>/
      )
    • Suggest running
      /spec-driven-propose
      if there's follow-up work

Rules

  • Always check for incomplete tasks before archiving
  • Never archive a change with incomplete tasks
  • Always merge delta specs before archiving — this is a hard gate, not optional
  • If
    changes/<name>/specs/
    is empty, require explicit human confirmation that the change has no observable spec impact
  • Deleting requirements or empty spec files in
    .spec-driven/specs/
    is allowed when applying
    REMOVED
    delta entries
  • Do not delete the change directory manually — archive the change by running the archive command
