docs(install): simplify the install page and ship archives - #2160
Status: Ready for review. Merge after Fission-AI/openspec-landing#16, which adds the openspec.dev/cli/install.sh redirect.
Why: The install page was too long for a first step, and release files were bare binaries.
What:
The docs-lab install page shows just two commands: curl -fsSL https://openspec.dev/cli/install.sh | sh and irm https://openspec.dev/cli/install.ps1 | iex.
Extra details move to a short "Install options" section. docs/ is unchanged.
Releases attach .tar.gz files (.zip on Windows). The installers unpack them and still install v1.15.0.
Proof:
Installer tests pass (17), including a new one for older releases.
Installed a locally built archive end to end, and the real v1.15.0 release.
Windows is checked by the Binaries CI run on this PR.
Linux and macOS releases now provide .tar.gz archives, while Windows releases provide .zip archives.
Installation instructions now use hosted shell and PowerShell installers, with options for selecting a release or install directory and guidance for manual downloads.
Installers support archive-based releases and can fall back to bare binaries for older releases.
Bug Fixes
Installers verify checksums for downloaded archives or binaries before extracting or installing them.
- Install docs: just the two commands, using openspec.dev URLs. Details
move to a short "Install options" section.
- Releases attach .tar.gz archives (.zip on Windows) instead of bare
binaries. The installers unpack them and still install older releases
that only have bare binaries.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The release workflow now publishes checksummed platform archives. The shell and PowerShell installers support archive downloads and retain bare-binary fallback behavior. Installation commands and documentation now use the openspec.dev installer endpoints and describe archive installation.
Changes: Binary release and installation
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Release archive packaging and contract .github/workflows/binaries.yml, .agents/skills/release-openspec/SKILL.md, .changeset/install-archives.md, scripts/README.md
The workflow packages Windows binaries as .zip files and other platform binaries as .tar.gz files, includes LICENSE, and generates checksums for the archives. Release uploads and attestation targets use the archives. Release guidance and the changeset describe the archive formats.
Archive selection, verification, and extraction scripts/binary/install.sh, scripts/binary/install.ps1, test/binary-installer.test.ts
Both installers select and verify archives when available, with fallback to bare binaries. They extract the executable from downloaded archives. Tests cover archive fixtures and bare-binary installation.
Installation commands and options README.md, install.md, docs-lab/reference/cli.md, docs-lab/start/installation.md
Installation commands use the openspec.dev endpoints. The installation guide documents version and directory settings, manual archive installation, platform archive formats, and optional attestation verification.
Fission-AI/OpenSpec#2137: This PR modifies the standalone binary workflow, installers, checksums, and installation documentation introduced by that PR.
Suggested reviewers:alfred-openspec
Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 36e1f
Windows users may be unable to install from the documented command, while manual installation can fail during the transition from bare binaries to archives.

Deploy the /cli/install.ps1 route before merging the Windows command.
The README now points Windows users to https://openspec.dev/cli/install.ps1. That URL returned HTTP 404 when checked. The PR description names only the openspec.dev/cli/install.sh redirect as a prerequisite, so nothing in the PR establishes that the PowerShell route will exist at merge. If it stays absent, the Windows Quick Start command in README.md fails. Confirm that /cli/install.ps1 serves the intended script before this change merges. Keep the GitHub-hosted PowerShell command until the route is live.

… the PR watermark to Fission-AI#2161
Both reds (CI / Windows Dev Check and Upstream Check) were the checker
reporting four unreviewed upstream PRs, not a broken checker. The
CHECK_FAILED lines in the dev check log are the deliberate registry-failure
unit test output, and that step exits 0.
Verdicts, with evidence and revisit triggers, are in docs/DECISIONS.md
(2026-10-28): Fission-AI#2158 skip (vite 7.3.7 is not in the advisory range, audit
clean), Fission-AI#2159 defer (Node 20 floor is a maintainer decision; no runtime
dependency needs Node 22), Fission-AI#2160 and Fission-AI#2161 not applicable (standalone
installer and the openspec.dev router are not in this fork).
The already-adopted Fission-AI#2131, Fission-AI#2133 and Fission-AI#2127 moved their heads upstream
(fast-forward, tests plus a CRLF regex fix). The fork implementation already
satisfies them, so only the new boundary tests are added to pin it.
Watermarks: reviewed_pr_through 2154 -> 2161; commit and issue unchanged.

Step 4 ran `xattr` on `openspec` in the current folder after step 3 had
already moved the file away, so it cleared nothing. Clear the
quarantine flag before moving. Give Windows its own destination
example, since `~/.local/bin` is a POSIX path. Say that files land a
few minutes after a release is published, so a missing file means wait
or use the previous release.

Remove the previous-release fallback unless it has the same archive.
While the first archive release is being prepared, the previous release may be v1.15.0, whose assets are bare executables. Step 2 cannot unpack those files using the listed archive instructions. The manual steps do not document a bare-binary path.
