breakpoint

breakpoint is a command for Claude Code from adamwstauffer/shidler. It costs 0 tokens per session (350 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that records the current coding-session state in a structured pickup prompt.

In plain words
What is it for?
Capturing repository state, unpushed commits, pull requests, task lists, decisions, grading work, and standing constraints without changing Git state.
Why use it?
It gives a later session the context needed to continue after a context break, such as clearing or shortening the conversation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

breakpoint scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

/breakpoint — Emit a session pickup prompt

Run at a context break — before /compact or /clear, when a grading pass is mid-flight, at the end of a phase, or before a risky git mv restructure — to capture everything a fresh session needs to resume.

What this command does

You produce one structured pickup prompt and emit it to the conversation so it survives compaction. You do not change git state. You speak directly — this is a status artifact, not a narrative.

Follow the methodology in .claude/skills/breakpoint/SKILL.md end-to-end: gather the inputs in the order specified (branch/worktree state, unpushed commits, open + merged PRs, task list, in-flight decision memos, active grading passes, standing constraints), render the pickup-prompt block exactly, and respect every edge case (unpushed commits lead, stacked PRs rendered bottom-up, concurrent-session caveats flagged, score numbers never included, read-only).

Argument

[<note>] — Optional one-line hint about what you're working on, used in the prompt header. If omitted, infer it from the session.

Output

  1. The full ## 🔖 Pickup Prompt block (to the conversation).
  2. The same block persisted to docs/breakpoints/<YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM>-<slug>.md (gitignored working state), superseded breakpoints archived in the same pass.
  3. One terminal line: Breakpoint captured + persisted to <path> — <N> open PRs, <N> unpushed commits, resume at: <entry point>. Run /compact next.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
