majiayu000 Clavix Archive Skill
Done with a project? Move it to the archive to keep your workspace tidy. You can always restore it later if needed.
What This Skill Does
- Find your completed projects - Look for 100% done PRDs
- Ask which to archive - You pick, or archive all completed ones
- Move to archive folder - Out of the way but not deleted
- Track everything - So you can restore later if needed
Your work is never deleted, just organized.
State Assertion (REQUIRED)
Before ANY action, output:
**CLAVIX MODE: Archival**
Mode: management
Purpose: Organizing completed projects
Implementation: BLOCKED (file operations only)
Self-Correction Protocol
DETECT: If you find yourself doing any of these 6 mistake types:
| Type | What It Looks Like |
|---|---|
| 1. Deleting Without Confirmation | Removing files without explicit user confirmation |
| 2. Archiving Incomplete Projects | Moving projects without warning about unchecked tasks |
| 3. Wrong Directory Operations | Operating on wrong project directory |
| 4. Skipping Safety Checks | Not verifying project exists before operations |
| 5. Silent Failures | Not reporting when operations fail |
| 6. Capability Hallucination | Claiming Clavix can do things it cannot |
STOP: Immediately halt the incorrect action
CORRECT: Output: "I apologize - I was [describe mistake]. Let me return to the archive workflow."
RESUME: Return to the archive workflow with correct approach.
Archive vs Delete Decision Tree
CRITICAL: Use this decision tree before any destructive action
Is this a failed experiment with no learning value? → DELETE
Is this a duplicate/test project with no unique info? → DELETE
Might you need to reference this code later? → ARCHIVE
Could this be useful for learning/reference? → ARCHIVE
Are you unsure? → ARCHIVE (safe default)
Remember: Archive is free, disk space is cheap, regret is expensive.
Phase 1: Completion Detection
Read Task Status
- Read
tasks.mdfile from the project - Count completed vs total tasks
- Calculate completion percentage
📊 Project Status: {project-name}
- Completed: 8/10 tasks
- Percentage: 80%
If Incomplete Tasks Exist
⚠️ Project has {N} incomplete tasks:
- [ ] Task 3.2: Add error handling
- [ ] Task 3.3: Write tests
Do you want to:
1. Complete tasks first with `/clavix-implement`
2. Archive anyway (tasks remain incomplete but archived)
3. Cancel archival
Require explicit confirmation for incomplete projects.
Phase 2: Archive Operations
Tools Used (Agentic-First)
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Read | Read tasks.md and check completion status |
| Bash/mv | Move directories |
| Bash/rm | Delete directories (only with confirmation) |
| Glob/List | List projects and archive contents |
Operation: Archive Project
- Verify project exists in
.clavix/outputs/ - Check task completion status
- Move directory:
mv .clavix/outputs/<project> .clavix/outputs/archive/<project> - Verify move completed
Operation: Interactive Selection
When multiple projects exist:
📦 Projects available:
1. user-authentication (100% complete) ✅
2. payment-integration (75% complete) ⚠️
3. dashboard-redesign (0% complete) ❌
Which project(s) to archive? [Enter number(s)]
Operation: Delete Project (Destructive)
WARNING: This PERMANENTLY deletes the project. Cannot be restored.
Safety Confirmation Required:
Show project details and task status:
🗑️ DELETE: {project-name} - Tasks: {completed}/{total} - Files: {list files to be deleted} - Location: .clavix/outputs/{project}/ ⚠️ This action is PERMANENT and cannot be undone.Ask user to type project name to confirm:
Type the project name "{project-name}" to confirm deletion:Only proceed if exact match
Execute:
rm -rf .clavix/outputs/<project>
Operation: Restore from Archive
Move project back from archive:
mv .clavix/outputs/archive/<project> .clavix/outputs/<project>
Handle name conflicts:
- If project already exists in active outputs, ask user:
- Archive the active project first, then restore
- Keep both (manual rename required)
- Cancel restoration
Phase 3: Verification
After every operation:
- Confirm success: Verify the operation completed
- Show new location: For archives, show destination path
- List related files: Note any cleanup needed
✅ Archive Complete
Project: user-authentication
From: .clavix/outputs/user-authentication/
To: .clavix/outputs/archive/user-authentication/
Files archived:
- full-prd.md
- quick-prd.md
- tasks.md
- .clavix-implement-config.json
Prompts Are Separate
Optimized prompts from /clavix-improve are stored in .clavix/outputs/prompts/.
Prompts have independent lifecycle from PRD projects.
Prompt Cleanup Options
📝 Found {N} saved prompts:
- std-20240110-143022-a3f2.md (executed)
- std-20240111-091534-b7c1.md (executed)
- comp-20240112-154623-d4e5.md (not executed)
Options:
1. Delete executed prompts only
2. Delete prompts older than 30 days
3. Keep all prompts
4. Delete specific prompts
Offer prompt cleanup separately from project archival.
Post-Archive Next Steps
After archiving, ask:
What would you like to do next?
1. Start a new project with `/clavix-prd`
2. Archive another completed project
3. Review archived projects
4. Return to something else
Archive Size Management
Proactive maintenance to prevent archive bloat:
When to Clean Up
- Archive exceeds 50 projects or 100MB
- Projects older than 12 months that haven't been referenced
- Duplicate or superseded projects
- Failed experiments with no learning value
Size Check
# Count archived projects
ls .clavix/outputs/archive/ | wc -l
# Check total archive size
du -sh .clavix/outputs/archive/
Retention Recommendations
| Project Type | Keep For | Then |
|---|---|---|
| Completed features | Indefinitely | Archive forever (reference value) |
| Failed experiments | 30 days | Delete if no learning value |
| Superseded versions | 90 days | Delete if newer version exists |
| Test/demo projects | 7 days | Delete unless documenting patterns |
Mode Boundaries
What I'll do:
- ✓ Find projects ready for archive
- ✓ Show you what's complete (100% tasks done)
- ✓ Move projects to archive when you confirm
- ✓ Track everything so you can restore later
- ✓ Warn about incomplete tasks
- ✓ Offer cleanup for executed prompts
What I won't do:
- ✗ Delete anything without explicit confirmation
- ✗ Archive projects you're still working on (without warning)
- ✗ Make decisions for you - you pick what to archive
- ✗ Remove files outside
.clavix/directory
Troubleshooting
Issue: No projects available to archive
Solution: Check .clavix/outputs/archive/ for archived projects, or create new with /clavix-prd
Issue: Name conflict during restore
Solution: Archive the active project first, or rename one manually
Issue: Accidentally deleted project
Solution: Check git history or IDE local history. Prevention: Use ARCHIVE by default.
Issue: Archive directory too large
Solution: Review contents, delete obsolete projects, consider external backup.
