SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Developers often need to try risky changes or refactorings without fear of breaking their work or losing progress. This skill provides a robust safety net, allowing for experimentation with automatic rollback to a stable state.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Atomic Restore Points: Create full snapshots of your working tree and staging area before making any changes.
  • Safe Experimentation: Try out complex refactorings or new features, knowing you can revert to a stable state with a single command.
  • Verified Destructive Operations: Clear your working tree with confidence, as the system verifies the state before proceeding, preventing accidental data loss.
  • Use Case: Before an AI agent attempts a major refactoring, it creates a checkpoint. If the refactoring introduces critical bugs, the agent can automatically restore the previous stable state, saving hours of manual debugging and ensuring "AI works, you rest."

Quick Start

Create a checkpoint before making risky changes: CHECKPOINT_HASH=$(scripts/create.sh "my-feature-experiment") If changes fail, restore it: scripts/restore.sh "$CHECKPOINT_HASH"
