# Checkpointed Agent Loop

Use this skill when a task can be interrupted, needs bounded retries, or must prove verification before it is called complete. It adds a small local checkpoint file around ordinary Claude Code work so a new context can resume from explicit state instead of reconstructing progress from chat.

The included Node.js utility stores state and evidence. It does **not** execute commands, call a model, spawn agents, access secrets, or contact a network service. Claude Code remains responsible for each actual tool call and for deciding whether a human approval is required.

## When to Use This Skill

- A migration, refactor, test repair, or investigation may span multiple sessions.
- A bounded retry loop is safer than repeatedly improvising from conversation history.
- A task needs a durable next action and a record of which verification actually ran.
- You need to stop at an external dependency or a human decision without claiming success.

Do not use it for a one-line edit or a workflow that already has its own durable runner.
