What problem does it solve?
This Skill saves your mid-research progress for a specific thesis so you can resume later without losing decisions, remaining work, or open questions.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Per-thesis checkpointing: Writes a timestamped checkpoint file under a selected thesis directory.
- Session context recovery: Loads recent timeline events and prior learnings for cohesion, then prompts you to confirm what will be saved.
- Audit trail + learnings logging: Appends a completion event to the timeline and optionally logs substantive learnings for future reuse.
- Non-destructive by design: Captures state only and does not modify existing thesis/research files.
Quick Start
Run pod-save-state and choose the thesis you are checkpointing, then confirm the drafted Working on/Decisions/Remaining Work/Open Questions summary to write the checkpoint file.
