Progress Update Skill

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of capturing what you completed in a work session reliably, without repeatedly reading and rewriting a growing daily progress file, which can cause context bloat and ordering issues.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Session-end progress logging: Append timestamped entries at natural session boundaries (end of work, before switching tasks, after milestones).
• Safe append workflow: Uses a dedicated devplans script to manage file mechanics, enforcing the rule to never read the progress file to append.
• Structured entries: Produces a consistent format using JSON fields like slug, content, and optional nextSteps, including Next Steps replacement logic and auto-maintained Summary.

Quick Start

Ask your AI to record the end-of-session progress by first running devplans.ts progress to fetch the current tempFile and nextSteps, then composing a JSON entry with a slug and Markdown content, and finally appending it via devplans.ts progress append <tempFile>.
