create-checkpoint

create-checkpoint is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hoangsonww/AI-Agents-Orchestrator. It costs 31 tokens per session (164 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for saving a durable progress note for an active coding task. The note records what is complete, what remains, important decisions, known risks, and one next action.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at a milestone or when asked to save progress. It checks the current Git state and recent test history before recording the checkpoint.
Why use it?
It keeps task context available when work moves between agents or sessions. It also distinguishes observed test results from unverified claims.

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

create-checkpoint 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 2d 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

Create Checkpoint

Confirm there is an active task with ai_collaboration.current_task. Then inspect current Git state and recent test history before writing a checkpoint.

Call ai_collaboration.record_checkpoint with:

  • summary: what is complete, what remains, material decisions, and known risks;
  • next_action: one concrete action the next agent can perform;
  • provider: the current agent name when known.

Do not claim tests passed unless a captured or freshly observed result supports it. Do not include secrets or paste large logs. A checkpoint records context; it does not commit, push, or change task status.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
