save restartable work-state before stepping away or handing off

Skill — checkpoint

Invoke in any agent conversation with /checkpoint. The steps below are a starting opinion, and they are what runs — edit them until they describe how this company actually hands work over.

When to use. Before stepping away mid-task, before handing work to someone else, and any time the only copy of what is going on is this conversation.

Steps.

  1. Say where you are in one sentence — the task, not the tool.
  2. List what is done and what is not, in the order it happened.
  3. Write the exact next action, specific enough to start on cold: the command to run, the person to ask, the file to open.
  4. Record what exists only in this conversation — a decision, a dead end, something tried that did not work. This is the part that is otherwise lost.
  5. Name the files touched, by path, and the branch they are on.
  6. Save it under memory/checkpoints/ as <date>-<slug>.md, and say where you put it.
