phase-checkpoint

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a crucial quality gate by pausing development between major build phases, ensuring human verification and preventing the accumulation of technical debt or the building of features on unstable foundations.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Phased Build Verification: Integrates with phased build processes (like those managed by the ultraplan skill) to halt execution at defined checkpoints.
• Work Summary: Presents a clear summary of completed work, including features implemented, files modified, and tests passed during the preceding phase.
• Guided Verification: Provides specific instructions and a checklist for human testers to verify functionality on a live preview environment (e.g., Vercel).
• Decision Point: Facilitates a clear go/no-go decision for proceeding to the next phase, or for addressing identified issues.
• State Management: Updates the build state, allowing for pauses and later resumption of development.
• Use Case: After implementing user authentication, this skill will pause the build, show what was done (e.g., sign-up, login, logout implemented), provide a checklist for testing on the Vercel preview, and ask for approval before proceeding to core feature development.

Quick Start

Use the phase-checkpoint skill to verify the completion of the current build phase and decide whether to proceed to the next one.
