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

cs-checkpoint-version 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/create-checkpoint.ps1, scripts/restore-checkpoint.ps1, tests/cs-checkpoint-version.tests.ps1), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Checkpoint Version

Purpose

Use this skill to create a local, file-based rollback point for one Git repository.

The default goal is safety: preserve the current branch, HEAD, staged diff, unstaged diff, and untracked files without creating a commit or changing the branch.

Rules

  • Work in one Git repository root. Confirm with git rev-parse --show-toplevel.
  • Create checkpoints before risky edits, broad refactors, dependency changes, generated asset changes, or user-requested rollback protection.
  • Default to a safe snapshot under .codex-checkpoints/; do not commit unless the user explicitly asks for a Git checkpoint commit.
  • Include staged, unstaged, and untracked non-ignored files. Do not include ignored files such as dependencies, builds, caches, or secrets.
  • Never restore a checkpoint unless the user explicitly asks to roll back or restore.
  • Before restore, preserve the current worktree with a pre-restore checkpoint.

Save Workflow

  1. Inspect the repository:
git rev-parse --show-toplevel
git status --short --branch
  1. Pick a short slug from the task, such as before-refactor, before-release, or current-version.

  2. Run the bundled script from this skill:

powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "<skill-root>\scripts\create-checkpoint.ps1" -Repo "<repo-root>" -Slug "current-version"
  1. Report:
  • checkpoint directory
  • branch and HEAD
  • whether staged, unstaged, and untracked files were captured
  • restore command

Restore Workflow

Use this only after the user explicitly asks to restore a checkpoint.

  1. Inspect available checkpoints:
Get-ChildItem -Directory "<repo-root>\.codex-checkpoints" | Sort-Object Name -Descending
  1. Read the checkpoint metadata:
Get-Content "<checkpoint-path>\metadata.json" -Raw
  1. Restore with the bundled script:
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "<skill-root>\scripts\restore-checkpoint.ps1" -Repo "<repo-root>" -Checkpoint "<checkpoint-path>" -Force

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
