Documentation

README

Excerpt

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.

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.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
