Use this skill whenever working on multi-step tasks, large refactors, cross-session development, or multi-agent orchestration — any situation where skipping a planned step would be costly. This skill enforces an external cryptographic ledger: every planned step must be checkpointed with a valid key before the task can be finalized. Triggers on phrases like "multi-step plan", "refactor in phases", "orchestrate agents", "long task", "don't skip steps", "checkpoint my work", "gate my steps", or any mention of Step Gate.
