checkpoint

checkpoint is a command for coding agents from affaan-m/ECC. It costs 6 tokens per session (329 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A progress checkpoint command that records the current state of tests, coverage, build results, code changes, and remaining work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at project milestones, before major refactoring, or between verification steps to document progress and blockers.
Why use it?
It prevents important verification details from being lost during development and makes it easier to resume work or roll back after risky changes.

About the project

ECC is a toolkit that organizes and improves how coding agents work through skills, memory, security checks, research practices, and related extensions. It is for developers using agents such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Cursor.

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

checkpoint 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 yesterday.

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

Checkpoint Command

Save current verification state and create progress checkpoint: $ARGUMENTS

Your Task

Create a snapshot of current progress including:

  1. Tests status - Which tests pass/fail
  2. Coverage - Current coverage metrics
  3. Build status - Build succeeds or errors
  4. Code changes - Summary of modifications
  5. Next steps - What remains to be done

Checkpoint Format

Checkpoint: [Timestamp]

Tests

  • Total: X
  • Passing: Y
  • Failing: Z
  • Coverage: XX%

Build

  • Status: PASS: Passing / FAIL: Failing
  • Errors: [if any]

Usage with Verification Loop

Checkpoints integrate with the verification loop:

/plan → implement → /checkpoint → /verify → /checkpoint → implement → ...

Use checkpoints to:

  • Save state before risky changes
  • Track progress through phases
  • Enable rollback if needed
  • Document verification points

TIP: Create checkpoints at natural breakpoints: after each phase, before major refactoring, after fixing critical bugs.

Changes

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.
