speckit-checkpoint-commit

To commit workflow checkpoints in a spec-kit project, stage all current changes using git add -A and create a concise descriptive git commit to preserve incremental progress after completing pre-implementation steps or implementation milestones.

Create a git commit for spec-kit implementation milestones at natural breakpoints during development, such as after finishing a self-contained task or a small related group of tasks, to keep your implementation history organized and reviewable.

Pre-implementation steps that require a checkpoint commit in version control include constitution, specify, clarify, plan, analyze, and tasks, ensuring generated spec artifacts are preserved before moving on to implementation.

Yes, you need a spec-kit project structure with a .specify/ directory to use git checkpoint commits, as the workflow relies on this specific folder layout to identify and stage spec artifacts correctly.

The best way to preserve incremental progress during spec-kit workflows is staging all changes with git add -A and committing them with a descriptive message after each meaningful task group or completed pre-implementation step.
