Preserve and resume unfinished development work. MUST be used when the user pauses, holds, stops for now, or asks to continue previous work, and at meaningful milestones during substantial unfinished work, even without an explicit request. Use when work spans sessions, is blocked, or meaningful implementation remains. This is a core Overgeared Skills system, not an optional extra: keep the active state current rather than reconstructing it later. Maintains WIP state, decisions, rejected…

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

# Work in Progress

## Create or Update WIP
Use `work-in-progress/WIP-short-topic.md` for meaningful unfinished work. Search for an existing related WIP first.

Include when applicable:
- Goal
- Current State
- Work Completed
- Remaining Work
- Current Approach
- Important Findings
- Discussion Context
- Decisions Made
- Rejected Approaches
- Files Being Worked On
- Problems / Blockers
- Testing / Verification
- Next Action
- Related Knowledge
- Change Audit (link to `changes/<note>.md` once written)
- Temporary Artifact Ledger (see below)

Preserve conclusions and reasoning, not chat transcripts. Update on meaningful progress, not every small edit.

## Temporary Artifact Ledger

Track temporary development artifacts at the moment they are created, not by guessing at push time. Maintain this table in the active WIP note, and reflect it in the durable change audit.

```markdown
## Temporary Artifact Ledger

| File | Type | Purpose | Remove Before Push | Cleanup Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| scripts/debug-api.ts | DEBUG | Inspect API response | Yes | Removed / Retained / Pending |
| db/seed-qa.ts | SEED | Create local QA records | Yes | Removed / Retained / Pending |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add frnkgns/gentjinskills/work-in-progress@sha256:4d8b41124b7b432a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.7da3b89, 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.
