Generate a resumable checkpoint file that another agent can read to resume work without replaying history, enabling reliable handoffs and continuity.
Run ./scripts/create-checkpoint.py "<topic>" from the skill directory to create a new checkpoint.

To create a resumable checkpoint for agent handoff, run the create-checkpoint.py script with your topic. This generates a structured file under .tmp/checkpoints/ containing the current state, decisions, and next steps for another agent to resume work.
A checkpoint file in agent automation workflows is used to save progress and hand off context without replaying history. It enables reliable continuity across sessions by storing the topic, current state, decisions, files touched, commands run, and next steps.
You save agent session state to continue work across multiple turns by generating a checkpoint file. The script creates a unique timestamp-id-topic slug filename under the .tmp/checkpoints/ directory to avoid overwrites and preserve the exact context needed to resume.
Yes, you can use a CLI script to automate checkpoint generation for workflow handoffs. Running ./scripts/create-checkpoint.py with a topic argument automatically generates the checkpoint path and structured content for downstream automation.
A resumable handoff checkpoint includes the topic, current state, decisions made, files touched, commands run, and next steps. This structured document provides the exact context another agent needs to resume the work without replaying previous history.
Checkpoint generation does not require any external dependencies or tools. The Skill relies solely on the included scripts/create-checkpoint.py script to generate the checkpoint path and content within your project directory.
