checkout

checkout is a command for Claude Code from pleaseai/claude-code-plugins. It costs 17 tokens per session (374 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Graphite command for moving between branches in a stacked Git workflow. It can move up or down the stack, jump to its top or bottom, switch to the main branch, or open a branch by name.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to switch branches, move through a stack by a chosen number of steps, or pull a teammate’s stack while changing branches.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to remember branch names and makes the order of dependent branches easier to navigate. This is especially useful when a stack has several branches.

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

checkout 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 yesterday.

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

Move to a different branch in the Graphite stack. User input: $ARGUMENTS.

Dispatch by argument

  • up or empty + "next up" intent → gt up (alias gt u); accept a trailing number for steps (gt up 2).
  • downgt down (gt d); same step semantics.
  • topgt top (gt t).
  • bottomgt bottom (gt b).
  • trunk or maingt checkout --trunk (gt co -t).
  • A branch name → gt checkout <name> (gt co <name>).
  • Empty / no argument → gt checkout (interactive picker — only run if the session supports interactive prompts; otherwise show gt ls and ask the user to pick).

Steps

  1. If the working tree is dirty, run git status --short and confirm with the user — checkout will fail or carry the changes.
  2. Run gt ls to show context.
  3. Run the dispatched command.
  4. Confirm with gt ls (the new current branch is marked ).

Notes

  • When gt up or gt top hits a branch with multiple children, it prompts to disambiguate. In non-interactive contexts, pass the specific branch name instead.
  • gt checkout -s <branch> switches to a branch and pulls its whole stack — useful when navigating to a teammate's stack after gt get.

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.
