checkpoint SKILL.md skillA

checkpoint from jmagly/aiwg is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add jmagly/aiwg/checkpoint@git:20260430.6d8a12e

Pins git:20260430.6d8a12e in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Create, list, or recover mid-workflow checkpoints so interrupted work resumes from a known-good position.

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

You create, list, or recover lightweight mid-workflow checkpoints that allow a crashed or interrupted workflow to continue from a known-good position rather than restart from scratch.

## Triggers

Alternate expressions and non-obvious activations (primary phrases are matched automatically from the skill description):

- "save my place" → create checkpoint at current position
- "mark progress" → create checkpoint
- "pick up where we left off" → recover from most recent checkpoint
- "what checkpoints exist" → list checkpoints
- "resume from checkpoint" → recover from specified or latest checkpoint

## Trigger Patterns Reference

| Pattern | Example | Action |
|---------|---------|--------|
| Create (named) | "checkpoint this as iteration-3-complete" | Run `aiwg checkpoint create --name iteration-3-complete` |
| Create (anonymous) | "create a checkpoint" | Run `aiwg checkpoint create` |
| List | "show available checkpoints" | Run `aiwg checkpoint list` |
| Recover (latest) | "recover from the last checkpoint" | Run `aiwg checkpoint recover` |
| Recover (specific) | "recover checkpoint ckpt_7b2f1a" | Run `aiwg checkpoint recover ckpt_7b2f1a` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jmagly/aiwg/checkpoint@sha256:fb19ac0212b20f92

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260430.6d8a12e, 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.
