shape-archive

/shape-archive — Close a Change

Move a completed change folder from context/changes/<change-id>/ to context/archive/<created-date>-<change-id>/, stamp change.md with status: archived + archived_at, use git mv so file history follows, and — if context/foundation/roadmap.md carries a roadmap item whose Change ID equals <change-id> — close that item too: flip its Status to done and append an entry to the roadmap's ## Done section.

The gate is lenient warn-only — /shape-archive only hard-blocks on uncommitted changes inside the change folder. Everything else (incomplete Progress, missing impl-review, status not in {implemented, impl_reviewed}) is surfaced as a warning followed by a confirmation prompt; the user can still archive.

After archiving, every other shape skill refuses to write inside context/archive/<...>/ (each guarded skill checks the resolved path prefix and aborts with a fixed message). Archived folders are read-only by convention.

Initial Response

When this command is invoked:

1. Check if any argument was provided:

• If an argument was provided, parse it (see "Argument Parsing" below) and proceed to "Resolution".
• If NO argument was provided, respond with the following message and STOP:

I'll archive a completed change. Please provide a change-id (kebab-case slug) or path:

Examples:
 /shape-archive context-dir-restructure
 /shape-archive @context/changes/oauth-login/

You can list active changes with: `ls context/changes/`

Then wait for the user to provide an argument.

Argument Parsing

Take the first whitespace-delimited token. Normalize:

1. Strip a leading @ if present.
2. Strip a trailing / if present.
3. If the result contains /, take the last non-empty path segment.

The result is <change-id>.

Resolution

1. Resolve <change-id> to context/changes/<change-id>/. If that path does not exist:

• Check context/archive/ for a directory whose name ends with -<change-id> — if found, print: error: change "<change-id>" is already archived at <path>. and STOP.
• Otherwise print: error: no change folder at context/changes/<change-id>/. Run ls context/changes/ to list active changes. and STOP.

2. Read context/changes/<change-id>/change.md frontmatter (status, created).

• If status: archived, print: error: change "<change-id>" is already archived in change.md but its folder is still under context/changes/. Inspect manually before re-running. and STOP.
• If created is missing or not YYYY-MM-DD, print: error: change.md.created is missing or malformed; cannot derive archive folder name. and STOP.

Hard refusal: uncommitted changes

Two pre-flight checks. Either failing blocks the archive.

1. Uncommitted edits inside the change folder. Run:

git status --porcelain "context/changes/<change-id>/"

If the output is non-empty, block and print:

✗ Cannot archive: context/changes/<change-id>/ has uncommitted changes.

 <one line per offending path from git status --porcelain>

Commit or stash them first, then re-run /shape-archive.

2. Pre-existing staged changes anywhere. The archive commit step (see "Move and stamp" below) bundles whatever is staged at commit time. If the user has unrelated staged changes from earlier work, they'd silently land in the chore(archive): close... commit. Run:

git diff --cached --quiet

If the exit code is non-zero, block and print:

✗ Cannot archive: pre-existing staged changes would be bundled into the archive commit.

 <output of `git diff --cached --name-only`>

Either commit them first or `git reset` to unstage, then re-run /shape-archive.

Either failure → STOP. Do not proceed to the warn prompt; these are hard blocks.

If git is not available or the repo is not a git repo, print: warning: not a git repository — skipping uncommitted-changes block. and continue. (Archive still works without git; we just lose history-preservation via git mv and skip the archive commit step.)

Soft warnings (non-blocking)

Collect the following warnings, then present them all at once with a single confirmation prompt.

1. Status check: read change.md.status. If it is NOT in {implemented, impl_reviewed}, queue: Status is "<status>"; expected "implemented" or "impl_reviewed".
2. Pending Progress check: parse the ## Progress section of context/changes/<change-id>/plan.md (if plan.md exists). For each ### Phase N: block, identify its #### Automated and #### Manual subsections and count - [ ] rows under each separately. Let <X> = total automated pending across all phases, <Y> = total manual pending across all phases, <N> = <X> + <Y>.

• If the plan uses Auto/Manual subsections (any ### Phase N: block contains a #### Automated or #### Manual heading) and <N> > 0, queue: <N> Progress items still pending (<X> automated, <Y> manual): <comma-separated list of "N.M <title>" tokens, truncated to 5 with "…" if longer>. Order the combined token list by automated items first (in document order), then manual items (in document order); the truncation cap of 5 applies to the combined list.
• Legacy fallback: if no ### Phase N: block in Progress contains either #### Automated or #### Manual heading, fall back to the original behavior — count - [ ] lines under ### Phase sub-headers; if any remain, queue: <N> Progress items still pending: <comma-separated list of "N.M <title>" tokens, truncated to 5 with "…" if longer>. (no parenthetical breakdown). This preserves zero behavior change for plans authored before workflow-v2.
• If plan.md is missing, queue: No plan.md found in change folder. and skip the Progress count.

3. Missing impl-review check: glob context/changes/<change-id>/reviews/impl-review*.md. If none match, queue: No impl-review found at reviews/impl-review*.md.
4. Missing-SHA check: parse the ## Progress section of plan.md (if it exists). Count - [x] rows whose line does NOT end with — <sha> where <sha> is 7+ hexadecimal characters (i.e., the regex — [0-9a-f]{7,}$ does not match). If the count is non-zero, queue: <N> Progress rows missing SHA suffix: <comma-separated "N.M <title>" tokens, truncated to 5 with "…" if longer>. SHA-less rows are legitimate for empty-diff phases and for plans that completed before the SHA contract shipped — this is a soft signal, not a defect. Skip silently if plan.md is missing (the Pending Progress check already covered that case).

If at least one warning was queued, print:

⚠ /shape-archive warnings for <change-id>:

 - <warning 1>
 - <warning 2>
 - <warning 3>

Then use AskUserQuestion. Manual-only nudge: if the Pending Progress check above queued a warning whose breakdown was exactly 0 automated, <Y> manual with <Y> ≥ 1, append (Recommended) to the Continue archiving label so the prompt visibly nudges toward archive — manual checks are often deferred-by-design, and archiving is the expected path. In all other cases (mixed pending, automated-only, legacy-fallback warning, or no Progress warning), present the labels verbatim.

• question: Archive "<change-id>" anyway? header: Archive options:

• label: Continue archiving description: Move the folder to context/archive/ despite the warnings.

• label: Resume implementation description: Don't archive. Suggest /shape-implement <change-id> next.

• label: Cancel description: Don't archive. Exit cleanly without further action. multiSelect: false

• Continue archiving → proceed to "Move and stamp" below.

• Resume implementation → print → /shape-implement <change-id> and copy that to clipboard via pbcopy 2>/dev/null || clip.exe 2>/dev/null || xclip -selection clipboard 2>/dev/null || true (or Set-Clipboard on PowerShell) (best effort, cross-platform). STOP.

• Cancel → print Cancelled. Folder unchanged. and STOP.

If no warnings were queued, skip the prompt and proceed directly.

Move and stamp

1. Compute archive destination:

• CREATED=$(awk '/^created:/ {print $2; exit}' context/changes/<change-id>/change.md) (date prefix, e.g., 2026-04-29).
• DEST="context/archive/${CREATED}-<change-id>".
• If $DEST already exists, print: error: archive destination "<DEST>" already exists. Inspect manually. and STOP.

2. Stamp change.md (in place, before the move):

• Set status: archived.
• Set archived_at: <ISO-8601 datetime, today, UTC> — produced by date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ".
• Set updated: <today as YYYY-MM-DD>.
• Use the Edit tool to update each of the three frontmatter lines. Do NOT touch any other field; in particular, leave created and change_id alone.

3. Move the folder:

• Prefer git mv "context/changes/<change-id>" "$DEST" so history follows.
• If git mv fails (not a git repo, or git refuses for some reason), fall back to mkdir -p context/archive then mv "context/changes/<change-id>" "$DEST". Print a warning if the fallback was used.
• Confirm post-move: [ -d "$DEST" ] && [ ! -d "context/changes/<change-id>" ]. If either check fails, print a diagnostic and STOP.

4. Stage the stamp into the rename. The Edit in step 2 modified change.md in the working tree, but git mv only stages the rename with the file's HEAD content. Run git add "$DEST/change.md" so the frontmatter stamp lands in the same commit as the rename.

5. Close the matching roadmap item — best effort; this step never blocks, never rolls back, and never prompts. A roadmap is optional; most changes won't trace to one.

6. test -f context/foundation/roadmap.md. If absent, skip this step silently.

7. Capture whether the file is already dirty: ROADMAP_PREDIRTY=$(git status --porcelain context/foundation/roadmap.md 2>/dev/null). (Used in sub-step 7 to decide whether to stage it into the archive commit.)

8. Read context/foundation/roadmap.md. Look for <change-id> used as a Change ID:

• in the ## At a glance table — the row whose Change ID column cell equals <change-id> exactly;
• and in the ## Foundations / ## Slices bodies — the ### <ID>: … block that contains a - **Change ID:** <change-id> line.

<ID> is that item's roadmap-local id (F-NN or S-NN); <Outcome> is the text of its - **Outcome:** line (keep a leading (foundation) if present). 4. No match → print ℹ context/foundation/roadmap.md has no item with Change ID "<change-id>" — roadmap left untouched. and skip the rest of this step. Match is exact-string only; a roadmap slice can spawn several changes, so a near-miss is intentionally not closed. 5. Match found → apply the three edits below with the Edit tool. Each is independent and best effort: if a target isn't where the /shape-roadmap template puts it (hand-edited roadmap, older format), skip that sub-edit, keep going, and note what was skipped — never abort the archive over roadmap shape. Touch only the fields named here; leave Outcome, Prerequisites, Parallel with, Risk, etc. alone.

1. ## At a glance — in the matched table row, set the Status column cell to done.
2. Item body — in the ### <ID>: … block, rewrite the - **Status:** line to - **Status:** done.
3. ## Done section — append one bullet under the ## Done heading, in that section's documented format:

- **<ID>: <Outcome>** — Archived <today> → `context/archive/<CREATED>-<change-id>/`. Lesson: —.

<today> is date -u +%F (YYYY-MM-DD); <CREATED> is the value computed in step 1 of "Compute archive destination". If the roadmap has no ## Done heading, append the heading and this bullet at the end of the file. 6. Bump the roadmap frontmatter: set updated: <today as YYYY-MM-DD>. Leave every other key (created, version, status, prd_version, main_goal, top_blocker, …) untouched. If the file has no YAML frontmatter, skip this sub-step. 7. Stage it into the archive commit — only if git is available and ROADMAP_PREDIRTY (sub-step 2) was empty. Then run git add context/foundation/roadmap.md so the roadmap close lands in the same commit as the rename + stamp. If ROADMAP_PREDIRTY was non-empty, the file already had uncommitted edits; leave the roadmap close in the working tree and print ⚠ context/foundation/roadmap.md had pre-existing uncommitted changes — closed roadmap item <ID> in the working tree but did NOT stage it. Commit it yourself. If git is unavailable, the edit just stays in the working tree (the pre-flight already warned). 8. Remember <ID> and <Outcome> for the confirmation output.

6. Commit the archive. Author one commit:

git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
chore(archive): close <change-id>

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <[email protected]>
EOF
)"

No body — the subject is mechanical and the diff (rename + frontmatter stamp, plus the roadmap close when one matched) is self-explanatory. Never pass --no-verify or signing-bypass flags. If a pre-commit hook fails, fix the underlying issue and create a NEW commit.

Skip this step entirely if git is unavailable or the repo is not a git repo (the pre-flight already warned).

7. Print confirmation:

✓ Archived <change-id>
 context/changes/<change-id>/ → <DEST>/

change.md updated:
 status: archived
 archived_at: <ISO datetime>
 updated: <today>

roadmap.md: closed <ID> "<Outcome>" → Status: done, entry added to ## Done ← print only when a roadmap item matched; omit this line otherwise

Committed as: <short SHA> chore(archive): close <change-id>

The folder is now read-only by convention. To start a new change: /shape-new <new-id>

Error handling

• Any unexpected filesystem error during the move leaves the source folder in place — the staged change.md edits land before the move, so on partial failure the user sees status: archived in context/changes/<change-id>/change.md but the folder is still in context/changes/. /shape-status will surface this as a status drift: archived in wrong folder warning. Re-running /shape-archive is safe: the resolution check at the top will detect status: archived and ask the user to inspect manually.
• Do NOT attempt rollback — the change.md edits are intent-marking, and partial state is recoverable by hand.
• The roadmap-close step ("Move and stamp" step 5) is isolated: any failure there is caught, noted in the confirmation output, and skipped. It never aborts the archive and never triggers rollback. A half-applied roadmap edit is recoverable by hand.

What this skill does NOT do

• Does not append SHAs to Progress items — /shape-implement is the sole writer of the SHA suffix at phase end. The archive gate enforces SHA presence as a warn-only signal (see soft-warning check 4); it never rewrites a SHA-less row.
• Does not run pnpm test / pnpm build / pnpm ci:local as a gate — the gate is lenient warn-only by design.
• Does not push. The archive commit lands locally; git push is the user's call.
• Does not rewrite the roadmap beyond closing the one matched item. When context/foundation/roadmap.md has an item whose Change ID equals the archived <change-id>, this skill flips only that item's Status (table cell + ### <ID>: body line), appends one ## Done bullet, and bumps the updated: date. It never reorders slices, recomputes the dependency graph, edits other items, or creates a roadmap that doesn't exist. No match (or no roadmap file) → roadmap untouched.
• Does not write to context/archive/<...>/ after the move; archived folders are read-only by convention. Other shape skills (/shape-research, /shape-frame, /shape-plan, /shape-plan-review, /shape-implement, /shape-impl-review, /shape-tdd, /shape-auto-implement) refuse when a resolved path starts with context/archive/.
• Does not unarchive. To revisit an archived change, open a new change with /shape-new and reference the archived folder for context.
