session-buddy-checkpoint

session-buddy-checkpoint is a command for coding agents from lesleslie/session-buddy. It costs 0 tokens per session (334 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

A command for creating a checkpoint note for an active coding session.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to summarize progress, document pending tasks, and prepare a structured handoff or later continuation.
Why use it?
It records decisions, changed files, quality information, and unfinished work so the session can be resumed with less repeated context.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add commands/lesleslie/session-buddy/session-buddy-checkpoint
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/lesleslie/session-buddy

Or install session-buddy, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 3 commands.

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

session-buddy-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 4d 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.

argument-hint:

  • checkpoint-name description: Create a session checkpoint with progress summary id: 01K6GZZRTDXPTKXJ5YMF07CK2H

Use the mcp__session-buddy__checkpoint tool to create a session checkpoint.

This command will:

  1. Create a checkpoint of the current development session
  2. Analyze code quality and calculate quality scores
  3. Summarize progress made so far
  4. Document any pending tasks or context
  5. Prepare for seamless session resumption

The tool will analyze the working directory and provide comprehensive quality metrics.

Notes-as-Memory Format

When creating checkpoint summaries, use structured notes instead of full conversation replay. This reduces token usage by ~90% while preserving essential context:

## Checkpoint Notes

- **Decision**: [What was decided and which option was chosen]
- **Reason**: [Why — the constraint, tradeoff, or requirement that drove the choice]
- **Files changed**: [exact/path/to/file.py (created|modified), ...]
- **Next step**: [The single next action after this checkpoint]
- **Blockers**: [None | description of what is blocking progress]

Do not replay the full conversation. Do not summarize what was discussed. Only record decisions, reasons, files, and next steps.

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.
