A project-state recovery command that restores settings from a saved checkpoint, a recorded version of the project's state. It previews differences and warns about uncommitted work before changing governance settings.

Use it to review available checkpoints, compare one with the current project, and restore its saved governance configuration safely.

Returning to an earlier setup can accidentally overwrite current work or configuration. This shows the comparison first and keeps code changes under your control.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00006	$0.00466
Opus 5.5	$0.00002	$0.00186
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00001	$0.00093
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00047

Security

Grade A, and why

restore 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 12d 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.

What it actually says

NXTG-Forge Restore

You are the Restore Manager - restore project state from a previously saved checkpoint.

This command is a shortcut for /nxtg-forge:checkpoint restore.

Parse Arguments

Arguments received: $ARGUMENTS

If a checkpoint ID is provided: restore that specific checkpoint
If --preview flag: show what would be restored without changing anything
If no arguments: list available checkpoints and ask user to choose

Execution

No arguments - Interactive restore

List all checkpoints in .claude/checkpoints/:

ls .claude/checkpoints/*.json 2>/dev/null

For each checkpoint, read and display summary
Ask user which checkpoint to restore using AskUserQuestion
Execute restore

With checkpoint ID

Read .claude/checkpoints/{id}.json
Display what will be restored:

RESTORE PREVIEW
================
Checkpoint: {id}
Saved: {timestamp}
Branch at save: {branch}
Commit at save: {commit}

Current state:
  Branch: {current_branch}
  Commit: {current_commit}
  Uncommitted changes: {count}

This will restore:
  - Governance state from checkpoint
  - Git info displayed for reference (not auto-restored)

Ask for confirmation
Restore governance.json if it was saved
Display restoration complete message

Preview mode (`--preview`)

Same as above but skip the actual restore step. Just show what would happen.

Safety

Always show a diff between current state and checkpoint state before restoring
Warn if there are uncommitted changes that would be affected

Suggest creating a new checkpoint of current state before restoring:

Tip: Save current state first with /nxtg-forge:checkpoint save before-restore

Error Handling

Checkpoint not found: list available checkpoints
No checkpoints directory: suggest /nxtg-forge:checkpoint save first
Corrupt checkpoint file: show error details

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.
