Checkpoint Protocol

Checkpoint Name

Name: $ARGUMENTS

If no name provided, generate: checkpoint-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)

1. Save Current State

Stage all changes:

git add -A

Create stash checkpoint:

git stash push -m "checkpoint:$NAME"

Create tag checkpoint (persistent):

git tag -a "checkpoint/$NAME" -m "Checkpoint: $NAME - $(date)"

2. Checkpoint Types

Type	Storage	Persistence	Use Case
Stash	Local stash	Until dropped	Quick saves
Tag	Git tags	Until deleted	Important milestones
Branch	Git branch	Permanent	Major features

3. Execute

For quick checkpoint (stash):

git add -A
git stash push -m "checkpoint:$NAME"
echo "📍 Checkpoint created: $NAME"

For persistent checkpoint (tag):

git add -A
git commit -m "checkpoint: $NAME" --allow-empty
git tag "checkpoint/$NAME"
echo "📍 Persistent checkpoint: $NAME"

4. Report

📍 Checkpoint Created

Name: [checkpoint name]
Type: [stash/tag]
Time: [timestamp]
Files included: [count]

Restore with: /rollback [name]
List checkpoints: /checkpoints

5. Record in Memory Bank

Update .claude/memory/activeContext.md:

## Checkpoints
- [name] created at [time] - [reason]

Usage Examples

Create named checkpoint:

/checkpoint before-refactor

Create auto-named checkpoint:

/checkpoint

With description:

/checkpoint pre-auth-changes

Checkpoint Best Practices

1. Before major refactors - Always checkpoint first
2. After working code - Save good states
3. Before risky changes - Insurance policy
4. End of session - Preserve work state
5. Clear names - pre-auth not cp1
