ABOUT SNAPSHOT.MD

SNAPSHOT.md is a working idea: before an AI agent changes something that matters, it takes a snapshot, a point-in-time copy it can go back to. A plain markdown file says what to snapshot, where to keep it, for how long, and how to restore it.

WHAT IT COULD COVER

A SKETCH


---
snapshot: draft

# SNAPSHOT.md
- before_change: database, config/
- keep: 14 days
- store: a separate account from production
- restore: the agent drafts it, a person runs it
- verify: sha256 of every snapshot

Snapshots can fail or be incomplete. Test a restore before you rely on one.
