What it does

Release Archivist is an agent skill from MageByte-Zero/spec-superflow. 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.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: 源码级融合 OpenSpec 规划引擎 + Superpowers 执行纪律的 AI 编程工作流插件。17 平台支持,9 skills,Spec-first,契约驱动。 The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/release-archivist”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Verify the final code snapshot with required build/test/validation commands. Reuse fresh results only when the code, environment and…
  2. Check contract coverage, design consistency, scope and unresolved findings against the actual diff. Cite commands/results; do not infer…
  3. Require the current plan's review policy: one final whole-range review for Native final, or the required wave receipts for wave/legacy…
  4. Synchronize actual delta specs using spec-merger while executing. If specs were explicitly omitted and no delta exists, don't recreate them.
  5. Run SSF audit and record verification outcome (dp_6_result, timestamp and test_result). Record DP-7 only with the user's archive…
  6. With blockers resolved, run SSF state transition closing. This is logical closure; it does not claim merge or cleanup succeeded.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 25d9b0c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Release Archivist loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 646 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Bundled runtime

Before executing a CLI line below, replace its leading SSF with node "<plugin-root>/scripts/spec-superflow.mjs"; <plugin-root> is the absolute directory two levels above this file. Never run SSF literally or call an ssf from PATH.

Read SSF resume <change-dir> --json. In executing, complete verification and logical closure. In closing, perform only recorded pending physical finish, if merging is authorized. abandoned or a completed finish requires no work. Other states route through workflow-start.

New direct/planned changes

Use SSF workflow complete <dir> --verification-command "<required check command>". It runs final verification once; do not run the identical full suite immediately before invoking it. Planned execution additionally checks completed tasks, current full-range/wave review and any delta-spec publication. Direct execution needs no plan or review receipt. Ordinary failures stay in executing for focused repair. Do not add DP-6/DP-7 or another approval to authorized code delivery.

If the user explicitly accepts unfinished work or failed verification, use SSF workflow complete <dir> --accept-risk --confirm --reason "<decision and remaining issues>". Preserve every failure and report accepted-risk, not verified success. This ends code delivery without merging or deleting the branch. A plain closing transition cannot bypass failed checks. For verified work, physical integration remains a separate authorized operation. The remaining closure steps are legacy compatibility.

Bounded paths

Quick/direct Hotfix/Tweak record changed files, focused command and result, persist test_result: pass, then transition to closing. Hotfix must prove the original symptom fixed. Lightweight also needs its receipt's focused review and passing verification evidence. These paths require no contract, execution plan, wave reviews, audit, DP-6/DP-7 or SSF finish.

Full / legacy Hotfix

  1. Verify the final code snapshot with required build/test/validation commands. Reuse fresh results only when the code, environment and command are identical; don't rerun the same full suite just because the skill changed.
  2. Check contract coverage, design consistency, scope and unresolved findings against the actual diff. Cite commands/results; do not infer success from edits or unchecked claims.
  3. Require the current plan's review policy: one final whole-range review for Native final, or the required wave receipts for wave/legacy plans. Do not request a duplicate review of unchanged evidence.
  4. Synchronize actual delta specs using spec-merger while executing. If specs were explicitly omitted and no delta exists, don't recreate them.
  5. Run SSF audit <dir> and record verification outcome (dp_6_result, timestamp and test_result). Record DP-7 only with the user's archive authorization already obtained or explicitly requested. Do not fabricate missing decisions.
  6. With blockers resolved, run SSF state transition <dir> closing. This is logical closure; it does not claim merge or cleanup succeeded.

Report only the outcome, key verification, unresolved risks and next action. Preserve the approved contract and implementation evidence; don't copy all planning files into a second summary.

Physical finish

For authorized Full/legacy Hotfix integration, run SSF finish <dir> [--test-cmd <command>]. It uses recorded target checkout/branch, merges if necessary, verifies the target, and safely removes isolation. It verifies an archive of ignored change artifacts and preserves the previous target before cleanup. It never force-removes uncommitted work. Branch-only isolation never deletes the checkout.

Verification failure preserves isolation. For recorded verify-pending, recovery offers the guarded closing -> debugging transition; diagnose, repair within approved scope, reverify and review before closing again. Completed finish and abandoned changes cannot reopen. Cleanup failure remains cleanup-pending. Resume performs the remaining steps; each unfinished finish retry verifies once again because ignored dependencies, local configuration and external services may have changed even at the same HEAD. Completed finish does not rerun verification. Completed finish is idempotent. A missing or ambiguous target is a real blocker: recover provenance before merging, never guess the target from the current directory.

If the user requested branch delivery without merging, leave the branch/worktree intact and report that status. Do not treat logical closure as permission to merge, push or release.

Use SSF state set <change-dir> dp_6_timestamp now and SSF state set <change-dir> dp_7_timestamp now when recording those decisions.
