# Archive an artifact

> Remove an artifact from default discovery without erasing it.

# `registry__archive_artifact`

Archive an artifact by ID.

* Inputs: required artifact `id`.
* Returns: the archive result.
* Effect: writes state and runs the artifact's archive hooks. The artifact stays
  directly readable but no longer appears in default discovery.

Archiving does not erase the artifact. Some kinds cascade the archive to child
files, so confirm the target before calling the tool.
