self-improving-memory-mcp: Command for Claude Code

Manual Checkpoint Command

Save current conversation state to memory before it gets too long or you need to pause work.

Usage

/checkpoint [optional-description]

What this does

This command triggers the Pre-Compact Interceptor Agent manually to:

1. Capture complete session state

   • Everything discussed and decided
   • All files modified
   • Pending tasks
   • Key context and decisions

2. Save to memory

   • Creates checkpoint entity in knowledge base
   • Links to all related work
   • Preserves TodoWrite state

3. Generate continuation summary

   • Compact summary to copy/paste
   • Resume instructions
   • All context preserved

When to use

• Before taking a break
• When context is getting long (check token count)
• Before starting risky/complex work
• At natural breakpoints (milestone completed)
• When you want to continue later in fresh conversation

Example

/checkpoint before implementing authentication

After checkpoint

You'll receive:

1. Confirmation that state is saved
2. A continuation summary to copy
3. Instructions to start fresh conversation

To resume later

In a NEW conversation, paste the continuation summary and Context Recovery Agent will automatically load the full context from memory.
