archive-workspace

This is the Codex equivalent of Claude Code's `/john:archive` command.

Procedure

1. Parse the user's request:

  • optional label: used in the default archive filename
  • optional `--output PATH`: write to a specific zip path
  • optional `--force`: overwrite an existing archive

2. Resolve the plugin root:

  • In a Codex plugin install, this skill lives under `<plugin-root>/skills/archive-workspace/SKILL.md`.
  • The script is at `<plugin-root>/scripts/archive_workspace.py`.
  • In a source checkout, use `plugins/joharnessburg/scripts/archive_workspace.py`.

3. Run the script from the user's project directory:

python3 "<plugin-root>/scripts/archive_workspace.py" <label-if-any> <--output PATH> <--force>

4. Parse the JSON on stdout and tell the user:

  • archive path
  • file count
  • archive size

The archive includes durable John artifacts such as `PLAN.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `.john/`, `.claude/skills/`, and `.agents/skills/`. It excludes git metadata, dependency folders, Python bytecode, and other local noise.
