# Archive Worklogs
Remain in this skill for follow-ups. Do not activate another Buddy skill or act outside this skill; only an explicit user request or the calling `develop` orchestrator can select the next skill. Move whole worklogs; delete none of their research, spec, plan, or trash contents.
## Model selection
Apply [model selection](../develop/model-selection.md); recommend `balanced`.
## Procedure
1. Run from the repository root with `python3 <skill-dir>/scripts/archive_worklogs.py --older-than <days>`.
2. Review the dry-run with the user unless archival was already explicit.
3. Add `--apply` to move the listed worklogs into `.ai/worklog/archive/<yyyy>/`.
4. For an exact inclusive cutoff, replace `--older-than` with `--through YYYY-MM-DD`.
5. Refuse collisions; skip and report malformed names or symlinks, never following them.
Age uses only the `yyyyMMdd` prefix. `--older-than 7` means strictly before the local date seven days ago. Dry-run is always default.
