Before clearing or compacting the conversation context, check that decisions, evidence, pending work, and the next action are saved, and that the worktree state is deliberate. --stuck diagnoses why work is going in circles (repeated fixes, the same failure coming back, a growing diff, no progress) and names the cause and the one change that breaks the loop. Use when a work phase ends, before a context reset, or when the user or agent is stuck, looping, or keeps retrying the same thing.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Checkpoint

Input: `[--stuck]`

Rules for every mode, including referenced instructions:

Do not retry a permission-denied action through another command, tool, path, or environment. Report the blocker.

Ground factual claims in supplied evidence or results you observed in this session.
- Take line numbers from numbered reads, not list-item numbers. Copy hashes, quotes, and errors exactly; verify stated counts.
- Report each check's command, directory, and actual execution count. Count runs, not tool calls or test cases; include failures, exclude denied attempts. Reconcile counts with observed results.
- Report another agent's findings only after its result returns and you check them.
- Separate observations, inferences, and estimates. An outside fact without a checked source is unverified, not an estimate.
- Scope all, only, and none to what you checked. A code-backed prediction is not an observed run.
- Missing evidence: say what is unknown. Name a file or function instead of inventing a line number.

Keep the saved handoff sufficient to resume without this conversation. Report what is saved, what remains unsaved, and what the next session needs.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hugolopes45/hl-skills/hl-checkpoint@sha256:10aa5544a0d297d3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.8a53261, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
