Verification

Run make test-checkpoint to verify checkpoint logic works correctly after changes.

Purpose

This skill is not invoked directly by users. It is called by other commands (e.g., /do-issue, /pr-review) at critical decision points to:

  1. Calculate Reversibility Score (RS) for the current context
  2. Determine if full War Room deliberation is needed
  3. Return either a quick recommendation (express) or escalate to full War Room

When Commands Should Invoke This

CommandTrigger Conditions
/do-issue3+ issues, dependency conflicts, overlapping files
/pr-review>3 blocking issues, architecture changes, ADR violations
/architecture-reviewADR violations, high coupling, boundary violations
/fix-prMajor scope, conflicting reviewer feedback

Invocation Pattern

Skill(attune:war-room-checkpoint) with context:
  - source_command: "{calling_command}"
  - decision_needed: "{human_readable_question}"
  - files_affected: [{list_of_files}]
  - issues_involved: [{issue_numbers}] (if applicable)
  - blocking_items: [{type, description}] (if applicable)
  - conflict_description: "{summary}" (if applicable)
  - profile: "default" | "startup" | "regulated" | "fast" | "cautious"

Checkpoint Flow

Step 1: Context Analysis

Analyze the provided context to extract:

  • Scope of change (files, modules, services affected)
  • Stakeholders impacted
  • Conflict indicators
  • Time pressure signals

Step 2: Reversibility Assessment

Calculate RS using the 5-dimension framework:

DimensionAssessment Question
Reversal CostHow hard to undo this decision?
Time Lock-InDoes this crystallize immediately?
Blast RadiusHow many components/people affected?
Information LossDoes this close off future options?
Reputation ImpactIs this visible externally?

Score each 1-5, calculate RS = Sum / 25.

Step 3: Mode Selection

Apply profile thresholds to determine mode:
