FAQPage Schema
How do I resume development work from a previous session checkpoint?

You can resume development work by loading a checkpoint.md file which validates the prior session, verifies the current git branch and uncommitted changes, and presents a structured summary for you to confirm before proceeding.

What is a development checkpoint and when do I need it?

A development checkpoint is a metadata file that saves your session context. You need it when pausing a coding workflow to securely restore your git branch state, uncommitted changes, and task progress at a later time.

How do I select the correct resume point when multiple checkpoints exist?

When multiple checkpoints exist, the system allows you to select the correct resume point by loading and validating the available checkpoint.md files. It gates the resumption action based on the git status and validity of the selected checkpoint.

Does the resume checkpoint flow verify uncommitted git changes before resuming?

Yes, the resume checkpoint flow verifies uncommitted git changes before resuming. It checks the current branch and working directory status, gating next actions based on git status and checkpoint validity to prevent context loss or conflicts.

Why is my session checkpoint not working when I try to resume work?

Your session checkpoint might not be working because the git state has changed since the checkpoint was created or the checkpoint.md metadata is incorrectly formatted. The system gates resumption actions based on valid git status and correctly formatted checkpoint files.

Do I need a specific project structure to use the git checkpoint resume flow?

Yes, you need a specific project structure to use the git checkpoint resume flow. Your project must contain .dev checkpoints, a valid session context, and correctly formatted checkpoint metadata to drive the resumption process and verify git state.
