checkpoint-resume

To resume an interrupted pipeline, this Skill saves progress to a JSON state file after each phase, allowing you to restart the workflow from the last saved point or a chosen phase without losing completed work.

Managing complex workflows safely requires saving pipeline state after each phase, utilizing mini-commits and structured phase ordering rules to ensure file changes and commits are tracked and resumable upon interruption.

Checkpoint state files work by writing pipeline progress to a JSON file after every phase completes, recording the current phase ordering and status so the orchestration can gracefully handle interruptions and resume seamlessly.

Yes, you can resume a long task from a specific phase. When invoked after an interruption, the Skill prompts you to resume directly from the last saved checkpoint or select a chosen phase to restart the workflow.

No special configuration is needed. The Skill utilizes initialization scripts to automatically set up the JSON state file and display status, enabling resumable workflows for your automated tasks out of the box.

Using JSON state files for pipeline checkpointing limits state tracking to phase ordering and completion status, meaning complex nested workflow branching or highly parallel pipeline execution might not be fully captured without custom rules.
