Where are the snapshots stored?

Snapshots are stored locally in your home directory at ~/.claude/compact-guard/ as timestamped Markdown files.

How do I trigger a manual snapshot?

You can trigger it within Claude Code using natural language phrases like 'save state', 'create checkpoint', or 'snapshot context', as well as the direct command '/cg-snapshot'.

What does cg-snapshot actually save?

It saves a comprehensive summary of your current workspace, including the project name, active git branch, the number of uncommitted (dirty) files, the current build state, and a unique session identifier.

Does this skill require any third-party tools?

No, cg-snapshot is part of the Context Guard system which is written in pure bash and has zero external dependencies.

Captures and preserves the current AI context and development state on demand to prevent data loss during long sessions.

cg-snapshot provides a robust safety net for Claude Code sessions by enabling manual context checkpoints. As part of the Context Guard suite, this zero-dependency bash skill captures the current project state, git branch details, uncommitted changes, and build status. It allows developers to create reliable restore points before undertaking risky refactors, starting deep debugging sessions, or hitting context window limits, ensuring that the AI always has a clear reference of the 'known good' state.
