SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Unified checkpointing that captures git state, task progress, and session decisions so you can resume work exactly where you left off.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified context capture: saves branch, commit, stash state, task-state, and memory-based decisions in a single checkpoint.
  • Seamless restoration: restores the exact working context, including open tasks and remaining work, to enable quick handoffs or pauses.
  • Real-world use: ideal for pausing a software engineering task, switching tasks mid-flow, or handing off progress to a teammate.

Quick Start

Use checkpoint to save your current context or restore a recent checkpoint to resume exactly where you left off.

Frequently Asked Questions about checkpoint

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I save and resume a software development task with its full git and session context?▼

To save and resume task context, you capture the current git branch, commit, stash references, and recent decisions into a portable JSON checkpoint file. Restoring this file later reloads the exact working state to resume seamlessly.

What is the best way to hand off an in-progress software engineering task to a teammate?▼

The best way to hand off an in-progress task is creating a unified checkpoint that captures git state, task progress, and session decisions. Your teammate restores the checkpoint to acquire the exact working context for a smooth handoff.

Does the checkpoint file store both git branch state and task decisions?▼

Yes, the checkpoint file stores both git branch state and task decisions. It captures the current Git commit, stash references, task progress, and memory-based decisions in a single portable JSON file.

How does session resume work when switching between multiple development tasks?▼

Session resume works by writing a portable JSON checkpoint file when pausing or switching tasks. This file records open tasks and remaining work, which is restored later to resume exactly where you left off.

Can I use this to save working context before ending a development session?▼

Yes, you can use this to save working context before ending a development session. It captures your current git state, task progress, and decisions, writing them to a portable JSON file for later restoration.

Do I need any external dependencies to write and restore a task state checkpoint?▼

No external dependencies are required to write and restore a task state checkpoint. The skill independently captures git state and decisions, writing a portable JSON file directly to the plugin directory.
