Implements persistent markers to track task completion and manage progress across complex, multi-step workflows.
This skill provides Claude with standardized patterns for using 'tombstone' or marker files to monitor the state of long-running or distributed operations. By leaving persistent indicators of finished tasks, it enables resumable workflows, ensures idempotency in complex systems, and provides clear visibility into partial progress without requiring a full database. It is particularly effective for systems where simple 'check-before-act' logic is insufficient or where tasks are executed in stages across different environments.
