Best use case

openspec-bulk-archive is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt. It is especially useful for teams working in multi. Archive multiple completed changes at once with `/opsx:bulk-archive`, handling spec conflicts between changes. Use when the user says "archive all changes", "bulk archive", "/opsx:bulk-archive", or has multiple completed changes.

Users should expect a more consistent workflow output, faster repeated execution, and less time spent rewriting prompts from scratch.

Practical example

Example input

Use the "openspec-bulk-archive" skill to help with this workflow task. Context: Archive multiple completed changes at once with `/opsx:bulk-archive`, handling spec conflicts between changes. Use when the user says "archive all changes", "bulk archive", "/opsx:bulk-archive", or has multiple completed changes.

Example output

A structured workflow result with clearer steps, more consistent formatting, and an output that is easier to reuse in the next run.

When to use this skill

Use this skill when you want a reusable workflow rather than writing the same prompt again and again.

# 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.
