14
+ **a. Integrate into reference:**
15
+ - Follow the `boop-product-design-reference-integration` skill to blend the new feature's knowledge into existing `reference/` pages.
16
+ - This is NOT "create a new page for the feature" — it's merging knowledge into the existing concept pages (and creating new concept pages only when a genuinely new concept has no home).
17
+ - Update cross-links between affected reference pages.
18
+ - Remove or update any reference content that is now outdated.
19
+
20
+ **b. Archive the spec:**
21
+ - Move the completed spec from `specs/` to `specs/history/` (create the directory if it doesn't exist).
22
+ - If any aspects of the spec were NOT implemented (deferred, descoped, or punted), extract those into a new revised spec in `specs/` that captures just the remaining work. Reference the archived spec for full context.
23
+ - The archived spec should be the full original — do not edit or trim it.
