Checkpoint Log

Use this skill to write durable project progress updates.

First Checks

  1. Locate the owning project doc under DOCS/PROJECTS/.
  2. Run node scripts/docs/timestamp-et.mjs --json to get the timestamp.
  3. Read the latest checkpoint to avoid duplicating prior notes.

If scripts/docs/timestamp-et.mjs is missing, offer to run $context-layer-scaffold.

Format

Add a new checkpoint entry:

### Checkpoint NN - YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM ET (America/New_York)
#### Completed Since Prior Checkpoint
- ...

#### Next Checkpoint Targets
- ...

#### Notes
- ...

Rules

  • Do not use today, tomorrow, or relative-date handoff headings.
  • Include evidence paths, risks, open questions, and MAGGIE TODO: callouts when relevant.
  • If the checkpoint changes lifecycle state, use $project-lifecycle rules.
  • If the checkpoint records user-facing UI readiness, include the visual design gate outcome when required.
