SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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.

FAQPage Schema
How do I save mid-research hedge fund thesis progress to resume later?

To save mid-research progress, a thesis checkpoint captures your working summary, decisions, remaining work, and open questions in a timestamped file. This allows you to pause research and resume the same thesis later without losing context.

What is a thesis checkpoint and when do I need one for market diligence?

A thesis checkpoint is a saved state of your mid-research session that records your working summary and open questions. You need one when pausing market diligence to ensure you can recover decisions and remaining work upon resuming.

How do I create an audit trail for a resume workflow research session?

Creating an audit trail involves writing a checkpoint file and appending a completion event to the timeline. This records session context and optionally logs substantive learnings for future reuse within your research workflow.

Does checkpointing a thesis modify my existing research files?

Checkpointing a thesis is non-destructive by design. It captures your working state in a new collision-safe file and appends timeline events without modifying any existing thesis or research files.

Can I route research checkpoints to specific workspaces for automation?

Yes, you can route checkpoints using optional per-workspace routing injection. This allows automation when saving a mid-research session by directing the checkpoint file to a specified workspace directory.

How do I log learnings from a paused thesis research session?

When saving a checkpoint, the process optionally logs substantive learnings via a learnings log. It appends a timeline event and prompts you to confirm what learnings to capture for future thesis reuse.
