continuity_ledger SKILL.md skillB

continuity_ledger from wildcard/caro is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add wildcard/caro/continuity_ledger@git:20251229.9d48bde

Pins git:20251229.9d48bde in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Create or update continuity ledger for state preservation across clears.

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

# Continuity Ledger

Maintain a ledger file that survives `/clear` for long-running sessions. Unlike handoffs (cross-session), ledgers preserve state within a session.

**Why clear instead of compact?** Each compaction is lossy compression—after several compactions, you're working with degraded context. Clearing + loading the ledger gives you fresh context with full signal.

## When to Use

- Before running `/clear`
- Context usage approaching 70%+
- Multi-day implementations
- Complex refactors you pick up/put down
- Any session expected to hit 85%+ context

## When NOT to Use

- Quick tasks (< 30 min)
- Simple bug fixes
- Single-file changes
- Already using handoffs for cross-session transfer

## Process

### 1. Determine Ledger File

Check if a ledger already exists:
```bash
ls thoughts/ledgers/CONTINUITY_CLAUDE-*.md 2>/dev/null
```

- **If exists**: Update the existing ledger
- **If not**: Create new file: `thoughts/ledgers/CONTINUITY_CLAUDE-<session-name>.md`
  - First ensure directory exists: `mkdir -p thoughts/ledgers`
  - Use kebab-case for session name (e.g., `auth-refactor`, `api-migration`)

### 2. Create/Update Ledger

Use this template structure:

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wildcard/caro/continuity_ledger@sha256:013b1f8beb78b48b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20251229.9d48bde, 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.
