# List OpenSpec Changes
Give a compact inventory of what is currently in flight and what was recently archived
under `openspec/changes/`. This skill is read-only: it never edits files.
## Inputs
Optional: how many archived entries to show (default 10).
## Process
1. Check that `openspec/changes/` exists. If it does not, report that this repository has
no OpenSpec baseline yet and suggest running the `ss-write-spec` or `ss-reverse-spec`
skill to create one.
2. **Active changes** — for every directory directly under `openspec/changes/` (excluding
`archive/`):
- note whether it contains a `proposal.md` and delta spec files
- list the capabilities its delta specs touch, cross-referenced against
`openspec/specs/*/spec.md`
3. **Archived changes** — list the most recent entries under `openspec/changes/archive/`,
newest first, capped at the requested count (default 10). For each, show the archive
date, change id, and touched capabilities.
## Output
Present the result as a compact table:
| Status | Change | Capabilities | Files |
|--------|--------|--------------|-------|
| active / archived | change-id | cap-a, cap-b | proposal.md, specs/... |
Do not edit any files.
