description	Updates a compact local handoff snapshot of current branch/PR/work state in a git-ignored file for fast session resume.

Work Snapshot Skill

Owner/Contact

• Repo maintainers (e.g., @mrlunchbox777).

Purpose

Keep a small, durable, local-only handoff note so work can resume quickly without relying on full chat history.

When to use

• At the start of a working session (refresh current state).
• After major milestones (conflict resolution, docs bump, checks rerun, review updates).
• Before ending a session.

Prerequisites

• git is available.
• python3 is available (required when updating an existing snapshot file).
• Optional: gh authenticated to include PR state fields.

Inputs

• Optional one-line context via --context "...".
• Optional one-line goal via --goal "...".

Required context

• Snapshot file path: .agents/work-snapshot.local.md (git ignored).
• Updater script: .agents/scripts/update-work-snapshot.sh.

Steps

1. Run .agents/scripts/update-work-snapshot.sh to refresh managed fields.
2. If needed, pass one-line updates:
   • .agents/scripts/update-work-snapshot.sh --context "..."
   • .agents/scripts/update-work-snapshot.sh --goal "..."
3. Add or refine short bullets under ## Manual Notes for done/current_state/next.
4. Keep notes concise and action-oriented (no long transcripts).

Safety Rules

• Do not store secrets/tokens/credentials in the snapshot.
• Keep this file local-only; it is intentionally git ignored.
• Keep context to one line unless detail is strictly needed for handoff.

Outputs

• Updated .agents/work-snapshot.local.md with fresh branch/issue/PR/status metadata and timestamp.
• Short manual notes suitable for quick resume.
