FAQPage Schema
How do I save context across sessions in Claude Code?▼

To save context across sessions, migrate from legacy checkpoints to Claude Code's built-in memory system and use the /compact command for session persistence. This approach preserves important learnings and context automatically without relying on deprecated workflows.

What is the best way to migrate from deprecated checkpoint workflows?▼

The best way to migrate from deprecated checkpoint workflows is to follow the provided migration guidance to transition directly to Claude Code's built-in memory and the /compact command, ensuring continuity in session persistence and context preservation.

Why should I avoid using checkpoint for session persistence?▼

You should avoid using checkpoint because it is deprecated, and the recommended alternative is to rely on Claude Code's built-in memory and the /compact command to document deprecation and preserve important learnings across runs.

How do I handle prd.json files after checkpoint deprecation?▼

To handle prd.json files after checkpoint deprecation, follow the migration guidance to preserve important learnings using Claude Code's built-in memory, ensuring your project context remains intact without relying on the deprecated session persistence mechanism.

Does Claude Code built-in memory replace the need for session checkpoints?▼

Yes, Claude Code's built-in memory replaces the need for session checkpoints by providing a native, non-deprecated way to preserve context and important learnings across sessions, effectively replacing the legacy checkpoint workflow.

When do I need to use the /compact command for context preservation?▼

You need to use the /compact command for context preservation when you want to maintain session persistence and save context across sessions, serving as the primary alternative to the deprecated checkpoint workflow.
