2 things to look at
- 20 days oldThe repository was created 20 days ago. New is not bad, but a brand new repository carrying a familiar-sounding name is the shape a typosquat arrives in, and there has been no time for anyone else to find a problem with it.
- 0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.
What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Save a source-attributed mid-session checkpoint into the shared local Session Save home. Use when the user asks to save, checkpoint, preserve current state, or pause unfinished work. Not an end-of-session close-out.
The file declares its own license as MIT. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

Session save — checkpoint
Resolve this skill directory as SKILL_DIR. Read CLIENT.md beside this file for the installed client_id. Read the shared home’s GUIDE.md.
- Run
python3 "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/session_save.py" doctor --client <client_id>. Stop unlessokis true andmigration_requiredis zero. - Locate the current record with
locate --client <client_id> --session-id <id>when a real stable host ID exists, otherwiselocate --client <client_id> --slug <known-slug>. - If no record exists, run
project-listand resolve one exact approved project. Ask on ambiguity; never infer identity from tags or similar keywords. Register a genuinely new project only after explicit confirmation. Then runbegin --client <client_id> --project <project> --name <name> --status provisional --gist "Checkpoint saved; run session-tag to tag this session." --require-registered-project. Never invent a verdict or an unconfirmed project. This is the single provisional record. - Run
checkpoint-path --client <client_id> --record <record>and write one Markdown checkpoint to the returned unique path. Use### <HH:MM> — <client_id>followed by Now, Working on, Next, and Watch. Keep it approximately 100–300 words. - Run
sync --client <client_id> --record <record> --operation checkpoint-written. Do not change an existing open record back to provisional. - Print the compact checkpoint receipt with the client label and real path.
Checkpoints are immutable event files. Never append to another client’s file, create a second record for the same client session, write a close-out here, or edit _INDEX.md directly.
