SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes functions (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Long AI conversations can lead to lost context, especially before breaks, risky changes, or when compacting the session. This skill creates "save points" to preserve your progress and key decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Context Save Points: Creates a snapshot of your current conversation state, including summaries, loaded documents, modified files, and next steps.
  • Intelligent Summarization: Analyzes recent messages to generate a concise marker document (2-5k tokens) that captures essential information.
  • Seamless Resumption: Provides clear instructions on how to restore your context from a marker, allowing you to pick up exactly where you left off.
  • Use Case: Before a lunch break, say "Save my progress, taking lunch." The skill will create a marker summarizing your work. When you return, "Load my lunch marker" to instantly restore your context.

Quick Start

Example: Create a checkpoint before a break

"Save my progress, taking lunch"

Frequently Asked Questions about nav-marker

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I save my conversation progress before losing context in a long AI session?▼

Create a context marker by asking the Skill to save your progress. It generates a Markdown snapshot capturing your conversation summary, loaded documentation, modified files, technical decisions, and next steps, then stores it with a checksum in .agent/.context-markers for later resumption.

What happens to my work when AI conversation context gets compacted?▼

Context compaction can erase your session state. Use context markers to preserve your work before compaction occurs. The Skill creates a checkpoint with all essential information—summaries, file modifications, and decisions—so you can restore your exact position afterward.

Can I resume work from a saved checkpoint after taking a break?▼

Yes. Load a saved marker to instantly restore your conversation context. The Skill provides clear instructions on how to reload your checkpoint, allowing you to pick up exactly where you left off without re-establishing your workflow or refetching documentation.

How do I protect my progress before making risky code refactors or breaking changes?▼

Create a checkpoint before risky changes by saving your current progress. The marker captures your conversation state, modified files, and decisions as a safety point. If something goes wrong, you can reference the checkpoint to understand your previous context and reasoning.

What information does a saved progress marker include?▼

A context marker includes a conversation summary, list of loaded documentation, files you've modified, your current technical focus, key decisions made, and next steps. Each marker is stored with a checksum and logged centrally in .agent/.context-markers for organized retrieval.

Do I need special setup or dependencies to use context markers?▼

No dependencies required. The Skill works in interactive AI sessions and automatically creates the .agent/.context-markers directory. Just ask to save your progress or create a checkpoint, and the marker is generated and persisted without additional configuration.
