# Release Archivist Finish a spec-superflow change cleanly with verification evidence. This skill operates while the change state is `executing`; it is not an active skill after the final transition to `closing`. ## Execution-State Guard Before verification, `ssf audit`, any DP state write, or delta-spec merge, run `ssf state get <change-dir> state`. Continue only when the persisted state is exactly `executing`. If it is `closing` → STOP: "Closing is terminal; release, audit, and archival work were completed before this transition." For any other state, or if the state cannot be read → STOP and route through `workflow-start`; do not perform side effects. ## Direct Short-Path Closure (run before the Full checklist) For Quick, Tweak, or a valid direct incident Hotfix receipt, skip the Full verification, audit, delta merge, DP-6, and DP-7 sections below. Record changed files, the focused verification command and result, then persist `test_result: pass` and transition to closing. Quick requires a targeted test or syntax/static check; direct Hotfix requires an original-symptom regression. A legacy Hotfix stays on the Full checklist. ## Full/Legacy Verification Before Completion The Full

About this skill
What does the release-archivist skill do?

Close out a spec-superflow change with verification, summary, and archive readiness. Invoke when implementation is complete, verification is underway, or the user asks for a final wrap-up.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add MageByte-Zero/spec-superflow --skill release-archivist --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From MageByte-Zero/spec-superflow, a repository with 668 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
