# Checkpoint an FSL task

Use this skill at a meaningful boundary, before `/compact`, before `/clear`, and before handing work to another agent or person.

1. Re-read `tasks/active.md`, `git status --short`, and the relevant diff.

2. Verify changed files and observed command output instead of relying on conversation history.

- 3. Preserve the goal, authority surface, current state, decisions, invariants, evidence, changed files, failed approaches, verification results, remaining work, and one concrete next action.

+ 3. Preserve the goal, authority surface, current state, decisions, invariants, evidence, changed files,

+ failed approaches, verification results, discovered follow-ups, remaining work, and one concrete

+ next action.

4. Remove narration, raw logs, superseded hypotheses, and machine-specific absolute paths.

5. Do not claim a test or check passed unless its output was observed in this worktree.

+ 6. Reconcile every discovered soundness defect: it must be fixed in scope, linked to an existing or

+ newly created issue, or marked `authorization required` with an explicit user request. Do not mark

+ the task complete while such a finding exists only in chat, review output, or agent memory.

The result must let a fresh Codex session continue safely without reconstructing the conversation.
