<skill id="checkpoint">

<purpose>
The small resumable manifest. A handoff transfers a whole session; a checkpoint records
bounded progress INSIDE a long-running task so work can continue after a context reset
with a fresh, minimal context instead of an inherited transcript.

When to fire (EXP-L21: attention efficiency decays to ~11% late-session; a reset from a
checkpoint restores the flat ~50-70k load-bearing line):
- a long task crosses a natural boundary (a commit lands, a phase completes)
- context is about to compact, or the session is degrading (anchor-drift, I0.13)
- the manifest's execution.checkpoints list says so

Checkpoint vs handoff: same task + same session continuation → checkpoint.
