SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents you from losing progress during an agentic software engineering session by letting you save, resume, discard, or replace a complete suspend-and-resume snapshot of your work.

Core Features & Use Cases

Create a checkpoint snapshot: Captures RDPI phase, plan cursor position, branch state, and an embedded recovery diff so a later session can restore context.
Resume with validation: Re-reads the saved checkpoint, validates frontmatter and branch/base commit reachability, and re-locates the plan cursor before continuing.
Discard or replace safely: Removes the checkpoint (discard/delete/remove) or overwrites it atomically with a new snapshot (replace), with guardrails when no checkpoint exists.

Quick Start

Use checkpoint to save your current session by running the checkpoint command with no arguments.

FAQPage Schema

How do I resume an agentic software engineering session after losing context?▼

To resume an agentic software engineering session, you can restore a saved checkpoint snapshot that captures your RDPI phase, plan cursor position, branch state, and recovery diff. This allows a later session to safely continue exactly where you left off.

How do I validate branch and base commit drift before resuming a development workflow?▼

Validating branch and base commit drift before resuming a development workflow involves re-reading the saved checkpoint, robustly parsing frontmatter, and checking branch and base commit reachability to ensure phase-accurate cursor restoration.

Can I safely discard or replace a git checkpoint snapshot if my work is obsolete?▼

Yes, you can safely discard or replace a git checkpoint snapshot if your work is obsolete. The system removes the checkpoint file or atomically overwrites it with a new snapshot, providing guardrails when no checkpoint exists.

What is the best way to save RDPI session state for diff recovery?▼

The best way to save RDPI session state for diff recovery is by creating a checkpoint snapshot that embeds a recovery diff and captures the current plan cursor and branch state into a dedicated markdown file.

Do I need a specific git workflow to use deterministic commit consumption for checkpoints?▼

Deterministic commit consumption for checkpoints requires an RDPI workflow using singleton RDPI artifacts or issue-specific plan and research artifacts, applying git-isolated semantics to manage your suspend-and-resume snapshots safely.
