conversation-checkpoint

conversation-checkpoint is a skill for Codex from TIKAZI/TIKAZ-Codex-Context-Economy. It costs 35 tokens per session (407 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of conversation-checkpoint, MIT.

A conversation-saving procedure that records the current goal, decisions, completed work, remaining work, evidence, and open questions in a recoverable checkpoint.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before handoffs, context resets, or continuation of lengthy tasks to create a verified summary of the work so far.
Why use it?
It preserves important details when a long conversation must continue later but no source file already contains its state.

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

conversation-checkpoint 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 11d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 45 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Conversation Checkpoint

Designed, integrated, independently refactored, and continuously maintained by TIKAZ.

Input

Accept a long or repetitive conversation transcript and, when known, the next task or handoff audience. Use this Skill when no authoritative source file already captures the current state.

Workflow

Create a state snapshot with these required sections:

  • Goal
  • Confirmed Constraints
  • Decisions
  • Completed
  • Remaining
  • Evidence
  • Open Questions

Preserve the latest user instruction, approvals, rejected directions, file paths, identifiers, numbers, URLs, commands, errors, and objective verification. Separate completed facts from proposed work. Remove conversational repetition only after its surviving decision or constraint is recorded.

Validate the snapshot against the available transcript. Missing protected facts must be restored or listed as omissions. A concise snapshot is not proof that the underlying work succeeded.

Output contract

Return one self-contained Markdown checkpoint containing the seven required sections, the latest user instruction, objective verification state, unresolved conflicts, protected identifiers, and visible omissions. Separate confirmed completion from proposals and agent assumptions.

Validation and fallback

Compare the checkpoint with the transcript using validate-snapshot. Restore missing numbers, paths, URLs, commands, approvals, rejections, or error text. If the transcript is incomplete or contradictory, preserve the conflict instead of choosing silently. Never mark work complete solely because the conversation said it was complete.

Example

Create a recoverable checkpoint from this conversation before handoff. Preserve decisions, rejected directions, completed evidence, file paths, commands, numbers, and open questions.

Run python scripts/tikaz_context.py checkpoint --source <transcript.md> --output <checkpoint.md>. Use validate-snapshot when checking an edited checkpoint against its original transcript.

Changes

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.
