What this skill does
Save Status Update the current task status file and keep task metadata aligned with the active machine/session. Invocation Shared Helper Process Step 1: Resolve task folder 1. Check AGENTS.md task-status-root override. 2. Fall back to CLAUDE.md override. 3. Default to context/daily/YYYY-MM-DD/<task-slug>/. 4. If the task is tracker-linked and a canonical task root is already known, update that canonical task folder instead of creating a same-session duplicate. 5. Update the existing task folder when possible; do not create duplicates for resumed work. Step 2: Update core status content Refresh Last Updated in PST format. Update User Inputs, Input Artifacts, Current State, Progress, Artifacts, and Next Steps as needed. Keep the Input Artifacts section focused on userinputs/inputartifacts/ paths and provenance notes. Keep the Artifacts section focused on curated top-level outputs first; reference task-progress-artifacts/scratchpad/ items only when deeper evidence is useful. Preserve existing accepted-plan history. Keep userinputs/ append-only; add new notes or captured artifacts instead of overwriting prior inputs. Step 3: Reconcile metadata block Run: What this does: Upserts the managed tracker-aware TASK-METADATA block in the status file. Updates the machine-local current-task pointer for this {project, coding-agent, agent-session} so later get-task-details resolves this task as current. Recomputes primary tracker metadata, machine, coding agent/session, task paths, workspace path, zellij session/link, and compatibility fields. If tracker sync is enabled and dependencies exist, refreshes the live-session compatibility block on the primary tracker. Step 4: Degraded-mode handling If dependencies are missing: Missing gh or auth failure: skip tracker sync and continue. Missing zellij context: use none values. Missing SYSTEMNAME: use hostname fallback. …
