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 2mo 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.

Create a timestamped checkpoint in the current daily session transcript.

Command Usage

  • /checkpoint - Create checkpoint with auto-generated summary
  • /checkpoint [note] - Create checkpoint with specific note/context

What This Command Does

  1. Identify the current transcript file:

    • Look for ai-chats/transcripts/YYYY-MM-DD/daily-session-YYYY-MM-DD.md in the current vault
    • Use today's date

  2. Archive the current conversation:

    • Create archive directory: ai-chats/transcripts/YYYY-MM-DD/archives/
    • Export full transcript to Markdown: session-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM-full.md
    • This preserves the full conversation at checkpoint time

  3. Generate checkpoint entry:

    • Current timestamp (e.g., ### ~3:45pm - Checkpoint)
    • Link to the archived full transcript
    • If user provided a note, use that as the summary line
    • Otherwise, generate a brief summary of what's been accomplished
    • Include structured data matching PreCompact format

  4. Append to transcript:

    • Add the checkpoint entry to the "Session Log" section (before "## Session Handoff")
    • Include key activities with [[wiki-links]]
    • Include summary points

  5. Update daily note:

    • Find today's daily note at journals/YYYY-MM-DD.md
    • Increment the checkpoint count (e.g., *(2 checkpoints)* → *(3 checkpoints)*)
    • Add a nested bullet with deep link to the checkpoint section
