checkpoint-cycle

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a structured approach to recording session decisions and learnings by generating a git-backed checkpoint manifest that can be shared across sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Scaffold a manifest for the current session to standardize handoffs.
• Populate fields such as load_principles, load_memory_refs, pending, drift_observed, and completed to capture context and next steps.
• Drift gate: surface and triage drift observations before committing, ensuring learnings are reviewed.
• Commit workflow: store learnings with ingester_ingest calls and commit changes via session-end and commit-session commands.
• Use Case: When ending a work session, generate a reproducible record you can reference in the next session or share with teammates.

Quick Start

• Run the checkpoint-cycle skill to scaffold a manifest for the current session.
• Populate the manifest fields using ingester_ingest for learnings and fill load_principles, load_memory_refs, pending, and drift_observed.
• Execute the commit sequence: just commit-session {session} "<title>" and just session-end {session}.
