Checkpoint Operations

Create Checkpoint

Trigger checkpoint creation at:

• Phase completion
• Major task completion
• Before risky operations
• Context budget warning (75%)

checkpoint:
  id: "ckpt-{timestamp}"
  type: "phase | task | emergency"
  created_at: "ISO timestamp"

  orchestration:
    task: "Task description"
    pattern: "plan-then-execute"
    started_at: "Start timestamp"

  phase_state:
    current_phase: "CODE"
    phase_progress: 0.65
    phases_completed: ["EXPLORE", "PLAN"]

  dag_state:
    current_level: 2
    tasks_completed: [1, 2, 3, 4]
    tasks_in_progress: [5]
    tasks_pending: [6, 7, 8]

  agent_state:
    active_agents: 4
    agent_assignments:
      - agent_id: "agent-001"
        type: "coder"
        task: "implement-auth"
        status: "running"

  context:
    files_modified: ["list"]
    decisions_made: ["list"]
    outputs_ref: "path/to/outputs.json"

  metadata:
    size_bytes: 8192
    compression: "gzip"
    validation_hash: "sha256:..."

Restore Checkpoint

restore_request:
  checkpoint_id: "ckpt-xxx"
  validation: true
  partial_restore: false

restore_result:
  status: "success | partial | failed"
  restored_state:
    phase: "CODE"
    dag_level: 2
    agent_count: 4
  warnings: ["any issues"]
  ready_to_resume: true

Context Management

Context Budget

Metric	Threshold	Action
Usage < 50%	Green	Normal operation
Usage 50-75%	Yellow	Monitor closely
Usage > 75%	Orange	Create checkpoint, compress
Usage > 90%	Red	Emergency checkpoint, archive

Context Compression

When approaching budget limits:

1. Archive Completed Phase Outputs

   • Move to Obsidian vault
   • Keep references only
   • Summarize key points

2. Compress Agent History

   • Keep recent actions
   • Summarize older actions
   • Retain decisions and rationale

3. Prune Redundant Data

   • Remove duplicate context
   • Consolidate related items
   • Eliminate stale data

Context Sharing Protocol

When agents need shared context:

context_package:
  from_agent: "agent-001"
  to_agent: "agent-002"

  shared_context:
    summary: "Brief overview"
    files: ["relevant files"]
    decisions: ["key decisions"]
    outputs: ["artifacts"]

  transfer_type: "handoff | broadcast | reference"

  validation:
    required: true
    confirmation_needed: true

State Tracking

Orchestration State

orchestration_state:
  id: "orch-{uuid}"
  status: "running | paused | completed | failed"

  task:
    description: "High-level task"
    pattern: "plan-then-execute"
    started_at: "timestamp"
    estimated_completion: "timestamp"

  phases:
    EXPLORE:
      status: "completed"
      started_at: "timestamp"
      completed_at: "timestamp"
      outputs_ref: "explore-outputs.json"

    PLAN:
      status: "completed"
      started_at: "timestamp"
      completed_at: "timestamp"
      outputs_ref: "plan-outputs.json"

    CODE:
      status: "in_progress"
      started_at: "timestamp"
      progress: 0.65

  agents:
    total_spawned: 8
    currently_active: 4
    history: [...]

  metrics:
    context_usage: 0.55
    tasks_completed: 12
    tasks_remaining: 6
    checkpoints_created: 3

Agent Activity Log

agent_log:
  - timestamp: "ISO timestamp"
    agent_id: "agent-001"
    action: "spawned | task_started | task_completed | error | terminated"
    details:
      task: "implement-auth"
      result: "success | failure"
      outputs: ["files created"]

Vault Synchronization

Sync to Obsidian

Archive completed phase outputs:

# Phase: EXPLORE - Completed

**Task**: Implement user authentication
**Completed**: 2025-12-13T10:00:00Z

## Requirements Discovered
- User registration with email verification
- OAuth2 support (Google, GitHub)
- JWT token-based sessions

## Codebase Context
- Auth module: src/auth/
- Existing patterns: JWT middleware
- Dependencies: @auth/core

## Risks Identified
1. Token refresh complexity
2. OAuth provider rate limits

## Files Analyzed
- src/auth/middleware.ts
- src/auth/providers/
- tests/auth/

Recovery Operations

Recovery Workflow

1. Locate Checkpoint

   • Find latest or specified
   • Verify integrity

2. Validate State

   • Check file existence
   • Verify dependencies
   • Confirm outputs

3. Restore Context

   • Load checkpoint data
   • Rebuild agent state
   • Prepare DAG continuation

4. Resume Execution

   • Spawn required agents
   • Continue from checkpoint
   • Monitor for issues

Partial Recovery

If full recovery not possible:

partial_recovery:
  recovered:
    - phase_outputs: ["EXPLORE", "PLAN"]
    - dag_structure: true
    - agent_assignments: true

  not_recovered:
    - current_task_state: "in-progress task lost"
    - active_agent_context: "must respawn"

  recommendation: "Restart current task from beginning"
  data_loss: "minimal - ~30 min work"

Error Handling

Error	Resolution
Checkpoint corrupted	Use previous valid checkpoint
File not found	Mark as blocking, report
Context overflow	Emergency compress, archive
Sync failure	Retry with backoff
