Does it stage all changes automatically?

The skill uses selective staging. It stages tracked modifications and deletions, but requires specific instructions for new files to avoid staging unrelated items.

Will it commit if my Git identity is not configured?

No. The skill verifies your git user name and email before proceeding. If they are missing, it will warn you instead of attempting to commit or setting them for you.

Does this skill add AI attribution to my commits?

No. The Checkpoint skill is strictly configured to never add 'Co-Authored-By' trailers or AI attribution text, ensuring your commit history remains professional and human-centric.

How does it handle commit messages?

It analyzes your staged changes and generates a single-line Conventional Commit message using standard prefixes like feat, fix, refactor, or chore.

When does the skill trigger a checkpoint?

It triggers automatically when it detects keywords like 'checkpoint', 'milestone', 'feature complete', or 'bug fixed' in your interaction.

Developer Tools

Automates the creation of standardized git checkpoint commits when significant development milestones are reached.

The Checkpoint skill streamlines the development workflow within Claude Code by automatically managing git commits. It monitors for natural language triggers such as 'feature complete' or 'bug fixed' to initiate staging and committing processes. By enforcing Conventional Commit standards and strictly prohibiting AI-generated attribution or trailers, it ensures a clean, professional repository history. The skill handles git identity verification, selective file staging, and uses safe commit wrappers to provide a seamless version control experience without leaving the terminal.
