ki-checkpointlisted

Governs concise, repository-owned checkpoints for resuming one human-named active thread in a fresh agent context without a transcript or vendor session. Use when asked to checkpoint current work, update or retire a checkpoint, resume a named thread, audit `+/_CHECKPOINTS/`, or explain portable reconstruction state. It keeps one active snapshot per thread, retains explicit retired evidence, and leaves decisions, roadmap state, knowledge, recap, runtime hooks, and session continuity to their proper owners.

# Knowledge Islands portable checkpoints This governance skill owns the portable checkpoint contract: one concise repository record lets a fresh agent reconstruct an active human-named thread without claiming access to the original conversation. Read [the checkpoint standard](references/standards-checkpoints.md) before reading, creating, updating, or retiring a record; [the generated rubric](references/rubric.md) publishes its mechanical and judgment criteria, and [the sources](references/sources.md) record the contract's provenance. ## Shared model - **Active record** — one regular Markdown file at `+/_CHECKPOINTS/<thread>.md`, where `<thread>` is the user-selected portable name. Updating replaces this snapshot in place; Git supplies history. - **Retired record** — an explicitly moved record at `+/_CHECKPOINTS/_RETIRED/<thread>.md`. It remains recovery evidence but is never selected for resume. - **Reconstruction, not continuity** — a checkpoint carries only enough state for a fresh agent to continue. It is never a transcript, vendor-session identifier, conversation locator, completion signal, roadmap, decision log, or memory system. - **Explicit write authority** — create or update only at the user's request or a documented repository-local trigger. Retire only on explicit user direction after durable facts have reached their canonical owners. When the selected thread or content is uncertain, do not write. `ki-checkpoint` remains the portable reconstruction record; `ki-
