/update — Quick Checkpoint

Save progress mid-session without closing. Fast and low-ceremony: a log line plus a state touch only if something actually changed.

Invocation: user-only (disable-model-invocation: true) — checkpoints are timed by you, and the flag keeps this skill out of ambient context.

Configuration

Read the optional workspace.yaml at the project root. Below, <state_dir> and <sessions_dir> are its resolved values; defaults are state/ and sessions/. Full reference: docs/state-model.md.

Instructions

1. Scan recent conversation. Identify in ~30 seconds: what was worked on, any decisions made, any state changes needed.

2. Append to session log. Add to <sessions_dir>/{TODAY}.md (create it if absent):

   ## Update: {TIME}
   - {what was worked on, 1–3 bullets max}
   

3. Update state only if something changed. Touch <state_dir>/current.md only if a priority shifted, a thread opened or closed, or a task completed. Skip otherwise — an /update with no real change writes only the log line.

4. Confirm. One line: "Checkpointed: {brief description}".

Design principles

• Fast. A checkpoint should cost seconds, not minutes.
• Skip what's clean. Don't rewrite current.md for a checkpoint that changed nothing.
• Standing rule. Whenever you run /update, log first, then decide whether state actually moved — don't invent a state change to justify the run.
