Archive multiple completed changes at once. Use when archiving several parallel changes.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
Archive multiple completed changes in a single operation.
This skill allows you to batch-archive changes, handling spec conflicts intelligently by checking the codebase to determine what's actually implemented.
**Input**: None required (prompts for selection)
**Steps**
1. **Get active changes**
Run `openspec list --json` to get all active changes.
If no active changes exist, inform user and stop.
2. **Prompt for change selection**
Use **AskUserQuestion tool** with multi-select to let user choose changes:
- Show each change with its schema
- Include an option for "All changes"
- Allow any number of selections (1+ works, 2+ is the typical use case)
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT auto-select. Always let the user choose.
3. **Batch validation - gather status for all selected changes**
For each selected change, collect:
a. **Artifact status** - Run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json`
- Parse `schemaName`, `artifacts`, `planningHome`, `changeRoot`, `artifactPaths`, and `actionContext`
- Note which artifacts are `done` vs other states

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
