| description | Save bounded session progress without ending or committing work. |
Checkpoint
Use when user asks to save progress, create a handoff, or preserve a resumable point during ongoing work.
Procedure
- Inspect work completed in current session and unresolved blockers.
- Update
PROJECT_STATE.md when present or explicitly configured: completed work, active work, blockers, and checks run.
- Update
NEXT.md with one concrete restart action.
- Create or update
HANDOFF.md only for meaningful context that cannot fit in current state and next action.
- Report files updated and exact restart action.
Boundaries
- Do not create duplicate authorities: state stays in
PROJECT_STATE.md; next action stays in NEXT.md.
- Do not commit, push, sync, or publish as part of checkpoint.
- Record distilled facts only. Never store or copy raw transcripts, transcript exports, or raw tool output.
