save

A skill for saving unfinished work and pushing it to a remote Git repository. Unlike marking a task complete, it keeps the task in progress.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing changed files, optionally updating MASTER_PLAN.md, recording a progress summary, committing changes, and pushing them for access elsewhere.
Why use it?
It gives a consistent way to back up changes and leave useful context when stopping before the work is finished.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

save scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 130 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Save Progress

Save work-in-progress and push to remote repository. Unlike /master-plan:done, this keeps the task status as IN PROGRESS — perfect for:

  • Switching machines
  • End of session but task not complete
  • Before restarting your computer
  • Backing up current work

Triggers

  • /master-plan:save - Main command
  • "save progress", "switch machine", "end session", "backup work"

Workflow

Step 1: Show Current State

Run these commands to show what changed:

git status
git diff --stat

Display a summary of modified files to the user.

Step 2: Get Task Information

Use AskUserQuestion to gather:

  1. Task ID (header: "Task")

    • Options: "Tracked task (enter ID)", "No task (just commit)"
  2. Update MASTER_PLAN? (header: "Docs")

    • Options: "No (just commit)", "Yes (add progress note)"

Then ask in plain text: "What's a brief summary of the progress? (1-2 sentences)"

IMPORTANT: Wait for user to provide the summary before proceeding.

Step 3: Update MASTER_PLAN.md (if requested)

If the user wants to add progress notes:

  1. Find the task's ### section in MASTER_PLAN.md
  2. Add a progress note with timestamp

Format:

**Progress (YYYY-MM-DD):** [summary of what was done]

Keep status as IN PROGRESS — do NOT change to DONE.

Step 4: Stage Files

Stage all changed files EXCEPT:

  • .env* files (secrets)
  • node_modules/, __pycache__/, target/, .venv/
  • Backup directories
  • OS files (.DS_Store, Thumbs.db)

Prefer staging specific files by name over git add -A.

Step 5: Commit

Create a WIP commit:

With task ID:

git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
wip(TASK-XXX): progress summary

Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
EOF
)"

Without task ID:

git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
wip: progress summary

Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
EOF
)"

Step 6: Push to Remote

git push

Step 7: Output Summary

## Progress Saved

- **Task**: TASK-XXX (or "No task")
- **Summary**: [what was done]
- **Commit**: [short hash]
- **Status**: Still IN PROGRESS

Ready to continue on another machine:
1. `git pull`
2. Continue working on TASK-XXX

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

save is a skill published in the GitHub repository endlessblink/master-plan (27 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 871 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
