Frequently Asked Questions about checkpoint

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I save my git state and decisions to resume a session later?

You can save git state and session decisions by creating a checkpoint that records current progress and remaining work in a portable format. This enables you to pause complex workflows and load the exact working state later for deterministic traceability.

What is the best way to hand off developer context across branches?

The best way to hand off developer context across branches is using a checkpoint to save your session state. It captures git state and decisions in a portable format, allowing another developer to load the context and pick up exactly where you left off.

Can I resume a Conductor workspace handoff without losing my git state?

Yes, you can resume a Conductor workspace handoff without losing git state by loading a saved checkpoint. The skill records your working state in a self-contained portable format, ensuring you pick up exactly where you left off across handoffs.

How do I preserve progress and reduce cognitive load before ending a session?

To preserve progress before ending a session, use proactive session end prompts to create a checkpoint. This saves your current git state and remaining work, reducing cognitive load by ensuring no decisions are lost when you pause.

Does saving a workflow checkpoint require any external dependencies?

No, saving a workflow checkpoint requires no external dependencies. The skill implements a self-contained mechanism that records working state in a portable format and loads it on activation for deterministic revertability.
