state-management-patterns SKILL.md skillA
state-management-patterns from akaszubski/autonomous-dev is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add akaszubski/autonomous-dev/state-management-patterns@git:20260317.e64d556Pins git:20260317.e64d556 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

JSON persistence, atomic writes, file locking, crash recovery, and state versioning patterns. Use when implementing stateful libraries or features requiring persistent state. TRIGGER when: state persistence, atomic write, file locking, crash recovery, checkpoint. DO NOT TRIGGER when: stateless utilities, pure functions, config reads, documentation.
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
# State Management Patterns Skill
Standardized state management and persistence patterns for the autonomous-dev plugin ecosystem. Ensures reliable, crash-resistant state persistence across Claude restarts and system failures.
## When This Skill Activates
- Implementing state persistence
- Managing crash recovery
- Handling concurrent state access
- Versioning state schemas
- Tracking batch operations
- Managing user preferences
- Keywords: "state", "persistence", "JSON", "atomic", "crash recovery", "checkpoint"

## Core Patterns
### 1. JSON Persistence with Atomic Writes
**Definition**: Store state in JSON files with atomic writes to prevent corruption on crash.
**Pattern**:
```python
import json
from pathlib import Path
from typing import Dict, Any
import tempfile
import os
def save_state_atomic(state: Dict[str, Any], state_file: Path) -> None:
"""Save state with atomic write to prevent corruption.
Args:
state: State dictionary to persist
state_file: Target state file path
Security:
- Atomic Write: Prevents partial writes on crash
- Temp File: Write to temp, then rename (atomic operation)

How to install
mdr add akaszubski/autonomous-dev/state-management-patterns@sha256:fff23982231f0483The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260317.e64d556, 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.
