checkpoint

checkpoint is a command for Claude Code from akougkas/wtf-p. It costs 13 tokens per session (968 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of add-todo, MIT.

A checkpoint manager for saving, listing, and restoring an exact state of a research paper project. A checkpoint is a recoverable snapshot of selected project records and files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to save project snapshots, inspect available checkpoints, and restore a previous paper state.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of losing work or being unable to return to an earlier project state. Restoring also records recovery information for the affected files.

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 29d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

83% identical to add-todo — 33 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Record contract

Read: the declared portable records and authored artifacts selected for the snapshot. Produce: project://checkpoints/{checkpoint} (create), project://archives/checkpoints/{checkpoint} (create), project://archives/recovery/{artifact} (create on restore), project://manifest (update), project://state (update).

Resolve every logical URI through the host adapter. Portable v1 JSON records are the source of truth: schema-validate before a write, preserve stable IDs, update revision and timestamps where required, and replace records atomically. Never pass a literal logical URI to a shell command or infer record state from a legacy Markdown control file.

Manuscript prose and supporting context, research, plan, review, summary, handoff, and deliverable artifacts retain their authored format (normally Markdown). Link them from the relevant v1 record; do not convert manuscript prose into project-state JSON.

Procedure

  1. For save, select concrete contained resources, copy their exact bytes into an immutable checkpoint archive, hash every entry, then create a non-blocking state-snapshot checkpoint that records the archive URI, logical resource URIs, record revisions, and SHA-256 values. Link the archive from the manifest and read everything back before success.
  2. For list or inspect, report snapshot scope and verify that the archive, resources, revisions, and hashes still resolve without mutation.
  3. For restore, compare the selected snapshot with current resources, create and verify a pre-restore recovery archive, preview the exact replacements, and require a separate authorization immediately before applying them. Restore only snapshot-declared resources atomically, schema-validate records, verify hashes, and mark the checkpoint restored. Never use a commit, tag, checkout, reset, or branch movement as checkpoint storage.

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.
