Yes. The skill itself is free from VILA-Lab/FigMirror. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Openspec Archive Change SkillProof Score?

7.2/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 5/10, docs & honesty 4/5.

How do I install Openspec Archive Change?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Openspec Archive Change with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Works with setup
Score: 7.2/10
Tested: Jul 21, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 74047c6

Cloned the repo, confirmed openspec CLI v1.7.0 is present, and ran the skill's commands (openspec list --json, openspec status --change) against the repo's real changes — all returned valid JSON. For OUTPUT I archived phase0-style-transfer-loop two ways in separate copies: baseline via native `openspec archive -y`, and skill-followed via its manual task/artifact checks + dated `mv`. `diff -rq` of the two resulting archive directories returned exit 0 (byte-identical, .openspec.yaml preserved in both), so the produced artifact is no better than baseline; the skill only adds confirmation gating and a summary. Security scan was clean, but SKILL.md Step 4 references invoking a `openspec-sync-specs` skill that returns 404 in this repo.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

Installs cleanly 4/5
Triggers reliably 5/5
Output vs. baseline 5/10
Docs & honesty 4/5

What Openspec Archive Change does

A Claude Code skill that archives a completed OpenSpec change: it lists active changes, checks artifact and task completion, assesses delta-spec sync state, then moves the change directory to openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>. Triggers when the user says a change is done and wants to finalize or archive it. Requires the openspec CLI and an OpenSpec-initialized project.

How to install Openspec Archive Change

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/VILA-Lab/FigMirror.git /tmp/openspec-archive-change-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/openspec-archive-change-src/.claude/skills/openspec-archive-change ~/.claude/skills/openspec-archive-change
# Requires the openspec CLI on PATH: npm i -g openspec  (verified against v1.7.0)
# Only functions inside an OpenSpec-initialized project (an openspec/changes/ tree). Run `openspec init` if absent.
# Note: skill Step 4 invokes a sibling skill `openspec-sync-specs` that is NOT in this repo (404); that path only runs when a change has delta specs under specs/.

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
