Update Skill

Lightweight save without ending the session. Use frequently to preserve context.

When to Use

• User types /update
• After finishing a chunk of work
• Before switching contexts
• Every hour or so during long sessions
• When context is running low

Process

Step 1: Identify What Changed

Quickly scan the recent conversation for:

• Topics worked on
• Decisions made
• Files created/modified
• Any state changes needed

Keep it brief. No full summary needed.

Step 2: Append to Session Log

Get today's date: date +%Y-%m-%d

Append to sessions/{TODAY}.md:

## Update: {TIME}
- {what was worked on, 1-3 bullets}

If file doesn't exist, create with header: # Session Log: {TODAY}

Step 3: Update State (if needed)

Only update state/current.md if something actually changed:

• New open thread
• Completed item
• Changed priority
• New project/task discovered

Skip if nothing material changed.

Step 4: Confirm (minimal)

One line: "Checkpointed: {brief description}"

No summary. No "next actions" list. Just confirm the save.

Output Format

Checkpointed: {2-5 word description of what was saved}

Notes

• This is intentionally lightweight
• Don't use for full session wrap-up (use /end for that)
• Multiple updates per day append to the same session file
