Can I customize the name of a marker?

Yes, you can provide a specific name (like 'before-auth-refactor') or allow the skill to auto-generate a timestamped name for you.

Where are the context markers stored?

Markers are stored locally in the .agent/.context-markers/ directory and are typically git-ignored to keep your session state private.

When is the best time to create a marker?

It is best to create markers before taking breaks, after completing a significant milestone, before risky code changes, or when your context window is nearly full.

How does Navigator Marker reduce token usage?

It summarizes lengthy conversation histories into compact markdown files, allowing you to reload the essence of your session without needing the full, token-heavy message history.

生产力与工作流

Creates persistent context save points to preserve conversation state and progress across Claude Code sessions.

关于

The Navigator Marker skill enables users to create intelligent checkpoints that capture the current state of a development session, including conversation summaries, modified files, technical decisions, and next steps. By transforming long histories into compact markdown documents, it allows developers to resume work after breaks or risky refactors without re-explaining context, effectively reducing token usage by over 90% when reloading state. It serves as a vital tool for long-running projects where maintaining context continuity is essential for productivity.
