Save a brief mid-session checkpoint to this workspace and update current state only when a priority or open thread changed. Use only when the user explicitly asks to checkpoint or save current progress.
# Checkpoint a workspace session Save continuity with minimal churn. ## Configuration If `workspace.yaml` exists, use its state and sessions directories. Otherwise use `state/` and `sessions/`. ## Procedure 1. Identify what was just completed, any decisions made, and whether a priority or open thread changed. 2. Determine today's local date and time. 3. Append to `<sessions_dir>/<YYYY-MM-DD>.md`: ```markdown ## Update: <HH:MM> - <one to three factual progress bullets> ``` Create the file with a date header when it does not exist. Never overwrite earlier entries. 4. Update `<state_dir>/current.md` only when a priority shifted, a thread opened or closed, or a tracked task completed. Preserve unrelated content and its ordering. When changing it: - keep exactly one `**Last Updated:**` line and set it to today's date; - let `old_date` be the prior real date and `newest_history_date` be the newest date already in the log; archive only when `old_date != today && old_date != newest_history_date`; - when that invariant passes, prepend a separate line containing `old_date` under `# current.md update log` in `<state_dir>/current-log.md`; and - never log a placeholder. A second checkpoint or close on the same day therefore leaves both the current date and history unchanged. 5. If a durable decision was made, mention that `$context-end` can add it to the decision log; do not expand a quick checkpoint into a full close workflow. 6. Confirm in one line what was checkpointed and which files changed. Do not invent progress or touch files solely to refresh their timestamps.
