What This Skill Does
ContextKeeper tracks project state across AI agent sessions using manual checkpoints. It provides two shell scripts for creating checkpoints and viewing a status dashboard. No background processes or daemons are involved.
Avoids the security risks of checkpoint tools that use PID files, command substitution, or background watchers.
When to use it
- Saving work context before ending a coding session
- Resuming an AI agent task after a break
- Tracking progress on a multi-step refactor
- Logging milestones during a long debugging session
- Reviewing what was last worked on in a project
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.

AGENT
- 1Runs ckpt.sh with a descriptive message
- 2Script validates and escapes the input
- 3Checkpoint is recorded with the current project state
- 4User can later run dashboard.sh to see all checkpoints
OUTPUT
Checkpoint 'Fixed auth issue' saved and visible in the project dashboard
