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.
