long-task-continuation

# Long Task Continuation ## Overview Use this skill to keep long tasks checkpointed, resumable, drift-aware, and evidence-gated. This is a protocol skill. It does not execute plans, dispatch subagents, run tests, or grant completion authority. ## Authority Boundary Current owner: - Method Pack protocol discipline Not owned here: - plan execution - subagent dispatch - host daemon / watchdog / automatic retry - authoritative `GateDecision` - evidence sufficiency final judgment - completion authority ## When To Use Use this skill when any of these are true: - the task has multiple phases or more than one meaningful work slice - the task may be interrupted, compacted, resumed, or handed off - the task uses subagents - the user explicitly asks for long-task continuity, resume safety, or avoiding drift - the task changes architecture, contracts, shared workflows, or verification gates For short direct answers or one-command checks, do not force this protocol. ## Required Artifacts Maintain artifacts under `docs/aegis/work/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>/`: | Artifact | File | When | |----------|------|------| | TaskIntentDraft | `10-intent.md` and optional `task-intent-draft.json` | Start protocol | | BaselineReadSetHint | `10-intent.md` (inline) | Start protocol | | ImpactStatementDraft | `10-intent.md` (inline) | Start protocol | | TodoCheckpointDraft | `20-checkpoint.md` and optional `todo-checkpoint-draft.json` | Each checkpoint | | ResumeStateHint | `20-checkpoint.md` (inline...
