SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Save and resume your working state across branches by capturing git state, decisions made, and remaining work so you can pick up exactly where you left off. Proactively suggest checkpoints when a session ends, or when you switch context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Save checkpoints to capture current branch, modified files, and decisions.
  • Resume from a checkpoint to restore branch, status, and plan.
  • List existing checkpoints for quick review and project handoffs.

Quick Start

Run /checkpoint save to capture your current state and use /checkpoint resume to reload it.
