SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Save and resume working state checkpoints by capturing git state, decisions, and remaining work so you can pick up exactly where you left off. It helps teams maintain continuity across branches and handoffs by storing a snapshot of context that can be restored later.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Save checkpoints that capture current branch, git status, diffs, and key decisions, with an explicit resume path.
  • Restore or list checkpoints to quickly rehydrate a project to a known state across sessions or after context switches.
  • Proactively suggest checkpoints before long breaks or context switches to minimize lost work.

Quick Start

Save a checkpoint now to capture the current branch, git state, decisions, and remaining work so you can resume exactly where you left off.

FAQPage Schema
How do I save and resume my working state across git branches?

To save and resume your working state across git branches, you create a checkpoint that captures the current branch, git status, diffs, and key decisions. This snapshot restores your exact session context when you switch back.

What is session checkpointing and when do I need it for devops workflows?

Session checkpointing is the process of storing a snapshot of your project context, including git state and remaining work. You need it for devops workflows when handing off workspaces or taking long breaks to prevent lost progress.

How do I pick up where I left off after a context switch?

To pick up where you left off after a context switch, restore a previously saved checkpoint. This rehydrates your project to the known state by reloading the captured git status, decisions, and remaining work items.

Does checkpointing my git state work across different Conductor workspace handoffs?

Yes, checkpointing your git state works across Conductor workspace handoffs. It stores a project-scoped snapshot of your decisions and git status, enabling seamless continuity when another team member resumes the task.

What is the best way to capture decisions and remaining work before a long break?

The best way to capture decisions and remaining work before a long break is to save a progress checkpoint. It proactively records your git state and pending tasks into a project-scoped file for an explicit restore path later.
