What is the Task Checkpoint skill?

It is a devloop plugin for Claude Code that provides a standardized checklist and verification process for ensuring tasks are fully completed before moving to the next phase.

What is the difference between Advisory and Strict mode?

Advisory mode provides warnings if plan updates are missed, while Strict mode blocks the workflow until the project plan and verification steps are correctly documented.

How does it handle git commits?

The skill analyzes the task context to recommend either an immediate atomic commit or grouping the task with related work, ensuring a clean and readable repository history.

Does it automatically update my project plan?

Yes, it assists in reading and updating .devloop/plan.md by marking tasks as complete and adding necessary timestamped progress log entries.

Productivity & Workflow

Standardizes task verification, plan updates, and atomic commit workflows within devloop projects.

About

Task Checkpoint is a specialized skill for the devloop ecosystem designed to ensure rigorous task completion by enforcing a standardized verification workflow. It guides Claude through comprehensive code validation, automated testing, and mandatory documentation updates in .devloop/plan.md and project worklogs. By facilitating intelligent commit decisions—determining whether to commit immediately or group related tasks—it maintains high repository health and project tracking accuracy, making it indispensable for structured, multi-step AI-assisted development cycles.
