stop

The stop skill serves as the primary lifecycle management tool for maintaining project continuity across Claude Code sessions. It is designed for developers who need a structured way to hand off work, preserve state, and finalize technical objectives. By integrating directly with the atlas-session MCP tools, it ensures that your project memory—including soul purpose, active context, and feature status—is preserved in a consistent file-based format. This skill eliminates the friction of starting from zero by automatically creating checkpoints, harvesting promotable content, and organizing project files before closure.

• Performs a state-aware graceful shutdown by syncing context files and memory banks before any action is taken.

• Facilitates three distinct user intents: pausing for the day, closing/finishing a session, and verifying project status without termination.

• Automates the promotion of session learnings, including decisions, patterns, and troubleshooting steps, into documented files.

• Manages bounty workflows through AtlasCoin integration, supporting independent verification via finality Task agents to ensure trust in contract settlement.

• Generates time-stamped checkpoints in CLAUDE-activeContext.md to provide clear guidance for resuming work after a break.

• Supports automatic Git integration for commit-based save-points and Pull Request creation using GitHub CLI (gh).

• Ensures idempotent operation, allowing for safe usage even if a session is already closed or inactive.

• Always invoke when ending a session to maintain the integrity of the five-file memory bank system.

• Use the 'Just verify' intent if you suspect stale context or need to run bounty test suites without finalizing the session.

• Requires existing session-context/ directories to operate effectively; run /start in new projects to initialize.

• Respects user authority as an absolute constraint: no session will ever be closed or archived without explicit confirmation of the chosen intent.

• Handles optional bounty scenarios gracefully; if the AtlasCoin service is unreachable, the skill proceeds with project archiving and session saving without blocking the user.

• Acts as the gatekeeper for project archiving: it mandates feature verification and doubt review before archiving the soul purpose, ensuring that only verified work is marked as complete.
