Work Snapshot Skill
Owner/Contact
- Repo maintainers (e.g., @mrlunchbox777).
Purpose
Keep a small, durable, local-only handoff note so work can resume quickly without relying on full chat history.
When to use
- At the start of a working session (refresh current state).
- After major milestones (conflict resolution, docs bump, checks rerun, review updates).
- Before ending a session.
Prerequisites
git is available.python3 is available (required when updating an existing snapshot file).- Optional:
gh authenticated to include PR state fields.
Inputs
- Optional one-line context via
--context "...".
- Optional one-line goal via
--goal "...".
Required context
- Snapshot file path:
.agents/work-snapshot.local.md (git ignored).
- Updater script:
.agents/scripts/update-work-snapshot.sh.
Steps
- Run
.agents/scripts/update-work-snapshot.sh to refresh managed fields.
- If needed, pass one-line updates:
.agents/scripts/update-work-snapshot.sh --context "...".agents/scripts/update-work-snapshot.sh --goal "..."
- Add or refine short bullets under
## Manual Notes for done/current_state/next.
- Keep notes concise and action-oriented (no long transcripts).
Safety Rules
- Do not store secrets/tokens/credentials in the snapshot.
- Keep this file local-only; it is intentionally git ignored.
- Keep context to one line unless detail is strictly needed for handoff.
Outputs
- Updated
.agents/work-snapshot.local.md with fresh branch/issue/PR/status metadata and timestamp.
- Short manual notes suitable for quick resume.
