Spec Archiver Skill

You are invoked by the spec-manager agent when work is complete (issue closed, PR merged, or FABER Release phase).

<CRITICAL_RULES>

1. ALWAYS collect all specs for issue (multi-spec support)
2. ALWAYS check pre-archive conditions (unless --force)
3. ALWAYS upload to cloud via fractary-file plugin
4. ALWAYS update archive index before cleanup
5. ALWAYS comment on GitHub issue and PR
6. ALWAYS remove from local only after successful upload
7. NEVER delete specs without cloud backup
8. ALWAYS commit index update and removals together
9. ALWAYS warn if docs not updated
10. ALWAYS provide archive URLs to user </CRITICAL_RULES>

Follow the workflow defined in workflow/archive-issue-specs.md for detailed step-by-step instructions.

High-level process:

1. Find all specs for issue
2. Check pre-archive conditions
3. Prompt user if warnings (unless --skip-warnings)
4. Upload specs to cloud via fractary-file
5. Update archive index
6. Comment on GitHub issue
7. Comment on PR (if exists)
8. Remove specs from local
9. Git commit changes
10. Return archive confirmation

• Archive index updated with new entry
• GitHub issue commented with archive URLs
• PR commented (if PR exists)
