SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Work sessions lose context when they end — uncommitted changes, half-made decisions, and remaining tasks vanish, forcing the next session to reconstruct everything from scratch. This Skill saves the full working context so any future session can resume without losing progress. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Git State Capture: Records the current branch and repository state as part of the checkpoint. - Decision and Work Logging: Saves decisions made and remaining work items so nothing is forgotten between sessions. - Session Resume Pairing: Pairs with /context-restore to reload the saved snapshot and pick up exactly where you left off. - Use Case: Before ending a long coding session on a feature branch, run the save to snapshot your branch, decisions, and TODO list; the next day, restore it and continue immediately. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to save your current progress and working context so you can resume this session later.

Frequently Asked Questions about context-save

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I save my work progress in an AI coding session?▼

Invoke the context-save skill with a phrase like "save progress" or "save my work". It captures the current git branch, decisions made, and remaining tasks into a snapshot that a later session can restore.

How do I resume a saved session after saving context?▼

Use the paired /context-restore skill to reload the snapshot created by context-save. The restore step brings back the branch state, recorded decisions, and outstanding work so the session continues seamlessly.

Does context-save work outside a git repository?▼

The skill is designed around git state capture, reading the current branch via git commands. In non-git directories the branch detection falls back to "unknown", so the checkpoint loses its repository grounding.

What triggers the context-save skill automatically?▼

Phrases like "save progress", "save state", "save my work", and "context save" trigger it. It was formerly named /checkpoint but was renamed to avoid conflicting with Claude Code's native rewind alias.

Why was the checkpoint command renamed to context-save?▼

Claude Code treats /checkpoint as a native rewind alias in current environments, which shadowed the skill. Renaming it to context-save removed the collision so the skill invokes reliably.
