checkpoint

You snapshot coding session progress by generating a structured checkpoint that aggregates git status, diffs, and recent commits. This creates a concise file capturing completed tasks, remaining work, and blockers for teammates to resume seamlessly.

Documenting remaining tasks and blockers before pausing work involves writing a structured checkpoint file. It enforces a consistent format to capture overall status, open questions, and modified files, ensuring no context is lost during pause and resume cycles.

This checkpoint workflow reads from a tasks/todo.md file to identify remaining items. It requires this markdown format to extract current task state and write the resulting structured progress snapshot to tasks/checkpoint.md.

You can automatically commit your session checkpoint via git. The snapshot process optionally integrates with git to commit the generated checkpoint file, preserving the handoff-ready context directly in your repository history.

A generated session checkpoint includes sections for Overall Status, Completed This Session, Remaining Tasks, Open Questions or Blockers, and Files Modified. This structured format ensures all critical handoff context is consistently documented.
