File contents

When to use

Change is implemented (tasks checked) and user wants to close it / merge requirements into the source of truth.

Workflow

sdd_status with change_id — review remaining open tasks
Confirm with user if any tasks incomplete
sdd_archive with change_id
Report merged_specs, any warnings (open tasks / not apply_ready), and archive path under openspec/changes/archive/

Effects

Delta ## ADDED|MODIFIED|REMOVED Requirements merged into openspec/specs/<domain>/spec.md
Nested specs/<domain>/**/spec.md still merges into that domain (not a nested folder name as a new domain)
Sections apply in document order (later REMOVED of the same title wins over earlier MODIFIED)
Duplicate requirement titles in main collapse to one block
Change directory moved to openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<change-id>/
Open tasks do not block archive; tool returns warnings — surface them to the user

Merge gotchas

Issue	Behavior
Same title ADDED when already in main	Body replaced (treated as modify)
REMOVED then MODIFIED same title	Last section in the delta file wins
Nested `specs/auth/notes/spec.md`	Merges into auth, not domain `notes`
Incomplete tasks	Archive still runs; check `warnings`

Do NOT

Do not archive without user intent for incomplete work
Do not delete main specs; archive only moves the change folder after merge
Do not invent main specs by hand after archive — trust merged_specs paths
