Save Progress

Relies on BDK foundation (STARTUP_INSTRUCTIONS.md) for project context and MCP tool preference.

Capture work state to .bdk/save-progress/$ARGUMENTS.md for future resume.

Announce: "Saving progress to .bdk/save-progress/$ARGUMENTS.md"

Step 1: Validate

• $ARGUMENTS empty: say "Usage: /bdk:save-progress <name>" and stop
• Set path: .bdk/save-progress/$ARGUMENTS.md

Step 2: Gather Context

Collect in parallel:

1. Git branch: git branch --show-current
2. TaskList: Read current tasks (if any)
3. Recent files: git diff --name-only HEAD~3..HEAD 2>/dev/null
4. Used skills: Recall from conversation history

Step 3: Build Task Summary

TaskList has tasks:

• List each task + status (pending/in_progress/completed)
• AskUserQuestion: "Want to add notes or adjust statuses before saving?"
• Options: "Save as-is", "Let me edit"

No tasks:

• Ask user: "No tracked tasks found. Describe current tasks and status."

Step 4: Collect Reference Files

AskUserQuestion:

• "Which files needed for context when resuming?"
• Options: auto-suggest from git diff + .bdk/ plan files, plus "Let me specify"

Step 5: Collect Used Skills

From history, identify every BDK skill invoked. For each:

1. One-line "why" — trigger + outcome
2. Judgment: useful for remaining tasks?

Step 6: Collect Important Notes

Ask user:

• "Critical notes for next session?"
• Options: "No notes needed", "Let me add notes"

Step 7: Write Progress File

Write to .bdk/save-progress/$ARGUMENTS.md:

# Progress: {name}

**Branch:** {current branch}
**Saved:** {YYYY-MM-DD}
**Status:** In Progress

## Used Skills

- `/bdk:skill-name` — Brief description | **Reuse: Yes/No** (reason)

## Reference Files

- `{path/to/plan.md}` — Description

## Tasks

| # | Task | Status | Notes |
|---|------|--------|-------|
| 1 | {task description} | done | |
| 2 | {task description} | in_progress | |
| 3 | {task description} | todo | |

## Important Notes

- {note 1}

Step 8: Confirm

[save-progress] Saved to .bdk/save-progress/$ARGUMENTS.md
  Tasks: {N done} / {N in_progress} / {N todo}
  References: {N files}
  Skills: {N skills used}
  Notes: {N notes}

Resume with: /bdk:restore-progress $ARGUMENTS

Rules

• NEVER modify source code
• Keep progress file SHORT
• Status values: done, in_progress, todo, skipped, blocked
