What kind of metadata does the Checkpoint capture?

It captures the primary goal, current task status, key decisions made, active files, and even a 'mood' or confidence level to inform future actions.

How does Checkpoint differ from a standard Git commit?

While Git tracks file changes, Checkpoint captures the session's internal state, mental context, and immediate intentions to help the AI resume workflows more effectively.

When is the best time to trigger a Checkpoint?

You should use it before using the /clear command, prior to making risky architectural changes, or at the end of a work session to ensure a smooth transition.

Does this skill require external storage?

It utilizes the cc-soul MCP plugin to save data to a local ledger, ensuring your session state is persisted across different cycles.

Captures and preserves session state, intentions, and key decisions to maintain project momentum across AI context boundaries.

The Checkpoint skill provides a structured framework for Claude to pause and document the current state of a development session. By recording goals, decisions, active files, and the emotional context of breakthroughs or roadblocks, it creates a 'moment of clarity' that can be resumed later or referenced during risky changes. This skill integrates with the cc-soul ledger to ensure that vital context isn't lost during session transitions or when using the /clear command, effectively serving as a mindful bridge for continuous, high-context development.
