Archive - Move Completed Plan to Archive

Archive a completed plan to .devloop/archive/ and clear the active plan. You do the work directly.

Step 1: Check Plan Status

"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/check-plan-complete.sh" .devloop/plan.md

Parse the JSON output to get task counts.

If no plan exists:

No active plan to archive.
Run /devloop or /devloop:plan to create a new plan.

If plan has pending tasks: Show status and ask:

AskUserQuestion:
  questions:
    - question: "Plan has N pending tasks. Archive anyway?"
      header: "Incomplete"
      multiSelect: false
      options:
        - label: "Archive anyway"
          description: "Force archive incomplete plan"
        - label: "Continue work"
          description: "Keep working on pending tasks"
        - label: "Cancel"
          description: "Don't archive"

Step 2: Show What Will Be Archived

Use the Read tool with limit: 20 on .devloop/plan.md to show the plan header.

Display:

Plan to archive:
  Title: [Plan title]
  Tasks: N completed / M total
  Created: [date]

Archive destination: .devloop/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-{slug}.md

Step 3: Confirm or Auto-Archive

If plan is complete: Skip confirmation — execute archive directly. If plan is incomplete (user chose "Archive anyway" in Step 1): Execute archive with --force. If --force argument: Skip confirmation — execute archive directly. Otherwise: Ask:

AskUserQuestion:
  questions:
    - question: "Archive this plan?"
      header: "Confirm"
      multiSelect: false
      options:
        - label: "Archive now"
          description: "Move plan to archive, clear active plan"
        - label: "Cancel"
          description: "Keep plan active"

Step 4: Execute Archive

If confirmed (or auto-archiving complete plan, or --force):

"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/archive-plan.sh" .devloop/plan.md

If user selected "Archive anyway" for incomplete plan:

"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/archive-plan.sh" .devloop/plan.md --force

Parse the JSON output.

Step 5: Report Result

On success:

Plan archived successfully!

  Archived to: .devloop/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-{slug}.md
  Tasks completed: N

Next steps:
  - /devloop:plan --deep "topic"  - Start new exploration
  - /devloop               - Start new plan directly
  - git add .devloop/archive/  - Commit archive to git

On failure:

Archive failed: [error message]
