Claude Vigil

소개

Claude Vigil offers robust checkpoint, snapshot, and file recovery functionalities specifically designed for Claude Code, addressing the limitations of built-in rewind features. It meticulously tracks all file changes, including those made externally by bash commands or other processes, which are typically invisible to AI coding editors. This tool ensures perfect snapshots, allows for selective file restoration, acts as a safety net against destructive operations, and manages disk space honestly, providing developers with peace of mind and control over their codebase history.

주요 기능

• Browse and filter checkpoints, and drill into specific files with `vigil_list`.
• 31 GitHub stars
• Create named checkpoints of the entire project with optional descriptions using `vigil_save`.
• Efficiently delete checkpoints and reclaim disk space with garbage collection through `vigil_delete`.
• Restore the project to any checkpoint state, preserving all displaced files (modified or new) as artifacts to prevent data loss via `vigil_restore`.
• Investigate code history with full unified diffs, retrieve file content, or search for strings across all checkpoints using `vigil_diff`.

사용 사례

• Automatically save project state before executing destructive bash commands, risky refactors, or context compaction in Claude Code.
• Recover individual files or revert the entire project to a previous state after accidental deletions, modifications, or errors introduced by external tools.
• Review and compare code changes between different development milestones or states to understand evolution and debug issues.
