OpenSpec Bulk Archive Skill

Use /opsx:bulk-archive to archive multiple completed changes at once. Validates each change, detects spec conflicts across changes, and resolves them by checking what is actually implemented.

When to Use

• Multiple changes are completed and ready to archive.
• The user says "archive all", "bulk archive", "clean up finished changes".
• After a sprint or batch of parallel work.

Prerequisites

• Multiple active changes with completed tasks.

Workflow

1. Run bulk archive

   • /opsx:bulk-archive — lists all completed changes and prompts to select.
   • /opsx:bulk-archive <name1> <name2> ... — archive specific changes.

2. What happens

   • Lists all completed changes.
   • Validates each change before archiving.
   • Detects spec conflicts across changes (e.g. two changes touch the same spec file).
   • Resolves conflicts by checking what is actually implemented in the codebase.
   • Archives in chronological order (by creation date).

3. Confirm

   • The agent shows the list and conflict resolution plan; the user confirms.

Outputs

• All selected changes archived to openspec/changes/archive/.
• Delta specs merged into openspec/specs/ in chronological order.

Next Steps

• Start new changes with openspec-new.

Troubleshooting

• Spec conflicts: The agent inspects the codebase to resolve; review the resolution before confirming.
• Incomplete changes: Bulk archive warns about incomplete tasks but does not block.
