Safe Git Checkpoint FAQs

Question 1

Does this skill push my code to a remote server?

Accepted Answer

No. The skill includes strict sanity guardrails that prevent it from running 'git push', 'git rebase', or any other commands that could affect remote repositories or rewrite history.

Question 2

What is the primary purpose of the checkpoint skill?

Accepted Answer

The checkpoint skill creates safe, automated git commits on your current branch, ensuring that your progress is saved with meaningful messages while filtering out sensitive or bulky files.

Question 3

How does it handle sensitive information like API keys?

Accepted Answer

It automatically ignores and refuses to stage files like .env, .pem, .key, and other common credential formats to prevent accidental security leaks.

Question 4

Do I need to write my own commit messages?

Accepted Answer

No, the skill automatically derives a meaningful 'checkpoint' message based on the files that have been modified, though you can provide input if you prefer.

Question 5

Which files are automatically included in a checkpoint?

Accepted Answer

It typically stages agent logs, source code, scripts, configurations, and documentation, while specifically tracking summary and report files in the runs directory.
