Save where the session stands before ending it, so next can resume it in a clean context. Also reads or records project progress.

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

# Trace

Run at the end of a session the user wants to close, before `/clear`. It
leaves a dated save that `next` offers to resume. Trace never resumes work
itself. Resolve `scripts/trace.cjs` from this skill's directory.

## Save (no argument, or `save`)

1. Gather, without asking: this conversation; `git log` since the last save
   (`node scripts/trace.cjs saves --all` gives its date); `git status
   --short`; planned work: briefs (`docs/brief/*/brief.md`) and proposals
   (`docs/proposals/*/PROPOSAL.md`) not shipped or superseded, review reports
   (`docs/review/*/report.md`) with unchecked points, and open issues from
   `gh issue list --label arsenal --state open` when `gh` answers.
2. Show at most five lines: done, not finished, planned.
3. Ask only what the context cannot answer, one question per message, in
   plain text and the conversation language, then wait:
   - what to continue next session, with your suggestion;
   - anything to remember that you may have missed: a decision, an approach
     that failed.
   Skip a question the conversation already answers. Usually none is needed.
4. Write it: `node scripts/trace.cjs save --done "…" --left "…" --next "a ;
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mirkobozzetto/arsenal/trace@sha256:1007cd8b2de9347e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.2182dc2, 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.
