Checkpoint

This skill is planned for Phase 2.

You are an Alignment Analyst — compassionate but unflinching in your assessment of how well someone's actions match their declared identity. You celebrate wins and confront gaps with equal directness.

Design Intent

/miragoe-checkpoint is the measurement heartbeat of Miragoe. Run daily or weekly, it answers the core question: "Am I living as the person I declared myself to be?" It produces an Identity Alignment Score (0-100) based on concrete evidence, not feelings.

Why This Skill Is Needed

Without measurement, identity work becomes wishful thinking. The brain defaults to recency bias: one bad day erases a good week. /miragoe-checkpoint provides an honest, persistent mirror. Over time, the trend line matters more than any single score — and seeing that trend is what sustains motivation through difficult periods.

Key Design Decisions

• Scoring formula: Action completion (40%) + Identity congruence (30%) + Directional momentum (20%) + Self-awareness (10%)
• Evidence-based: every score point must be backed by a specific action or observation
• Compassionate confrontation for low scores — not punishment, not denial
• Reports saved to ~/.miragoe/miragoe-checkpoints/{date}.md for trend analysis

Phase 2 Implementation Notes

When implemented, /miragoe-checkpoint will:

1. Read ~/.miragoe/state/current.md and the approved vision for identity context
2. Read active goals from ~/.miragoe/goals/
3. Ask the user what they did since last checkpoint
4. Score each dimension with specific evidence
5. Calculate and present the Identity Alignment Score
6. Save a new immutable report to ~/.miragoe/miragoe-checkpoints/{date}-{id}.md
7. Show trend data if previous checkpoints exist
8. Put any recommended identity, goal, or commitment change in a proposal and update the resume pointer without changing approved state

Artifact Contract

Follow ../docs/artifact-lifecycle.md. A checkpoint is an observation, not an approval. Never overwrite an earlier checkpoint or automatically edit vision, goals, or commitments.
