long-task-continuation
Use when a task is multi-step, may span context resets or sessions, uses subagents, or risks losing state before completion.
npx skills add GanyuanRan/Aegis --skill long-task-continuation --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Long Task Continuation ## Overview Use this skill to keep long tasks checkpointed, resumable, drift-aware, and evidence-gated. This is a protocol skill. It does not execute plans, dispatch subagents, run tests, or grant completion authority. ## Authority Boundary Current owner: - Method Pack protocol discipline Not owned here: - plan execution - subagent dispatch - host daemon / watchdog / automatic retry - authoritative `GateDecision` - evidence sufficiency final judgment - completion authority ## When To Use Use this skill when any of these are true: - the task has multiple phases or more than one meaningful work slice - the task may be interrupted, compacted, resumed, or handed off - the task uses subagents - the user explicitly asks for long-task continuity, resume safety, or avoiding drift - the task changes architecture, contracts, shared workflows, or verification gates For short direct answers or one-command checks, do not force this protocol. ## Required Artifacts Maintain artifacts under `docs/aegis/work/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>/`: | Artifact | File | When | |----------|------|------| | TaskIntentDraft | `10-intent.md` and optional `task-intent-draft.json` | Start protocol | |

What does the long-task-continuation skill do?
Use when a task is multi-step, may span context resets or sessions, uses subagents, or risks losing state before completion.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add GanyuanRan/Aegis --skill long-task-continuation --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From GanyuanRan/Aegis, a repository with 902 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
