Checkpoint Log
Use this skill to write durable project progress updates.
First Checks
- Locate the owning project doc under
DOCS/PROJECTS/. - Run
node scripts/docs/timestamp-et.mjs --jsonto get the timestamp. - 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-lifecyclerules. - If the checkpoint records user-facing UI readiness, include the visual design gate outcome when required.
