Journey fit

Persistent memory and standups matter most when you iterate on long-running work, but checkpoints help in every journey phase. Iterate is the canonical shelf for cross-session recall, briefs, and standups that keep solo ops coherent.

How it compares

MCP memory marketplace plugin, not a task-specific codegen skill.
