| name | checkpoint-resume |
| description | Rate-limit-resilient pipeline with checkpoint/resume for long multi-phase sessions. Saves progress to .claude/pipeline-state.json after each phase. Use when starting a complex multi-phase task that risks hitting rate limits, when resuming an interrupted session, or when orchestrating work spanning commits, GitHub issues, and large file changes. |

Checkpoint Resume
Rate-limit-resilient pipeline orchestrator. Saves progress to .claude/pipeline-state.json after every phase so long sessions survive interruptions.
Quick Reference
| Category | Rule | Impact | Key Pattern |
|---|
| Phase Ordering | ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/rules/ordering-priority.md | CRITICAL | GitHub issues/commits first, file-heavy phases last |
| State Writes | ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/rules/state-write-timing.md | CRITICAL | Write after every phase, never batch |
| Mini-Commits | ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/rules/checkpoint-mini-commit.md | HIGH | Every 3 phases, checkpoint commit format |

On Invocation
If .claude/pipeline-state.json exists: run scripts/show-status.sh to display progress, then ask to resume, pick a different phase, or restart. Load Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/resume-decision-tree.md") for the full decision tree.
If no state file exists: ask the user to describe the task, build an execution plan, write initial state via scripts/init-pipeline.sh <branch>, begin Phase 1.
