checkpoint

checkpoint is a skill for Claude Code from Shweta-Mishra-ai/tokenmizer. It costs 61 tokens per session (440 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session-saving tool for TokenMizer, a local service that stores project knowledge as a connected memory graph. It records tasks, decisions, files, and errors so work can be resumed later.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when ending work or reaching a useful milestone to save a named session, view what was recorded, and get a resume context for the next session.
Why use it?
It prevents a long coding session’s context from being lost when you stop or start a new session. A saved checkpoint provides a compact summary for continuing the same work.

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

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 1mo 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

Save the current session to TokenMizer graph memory.

Session ID

Do not ask for one. $ARGUMENTS, if given, is the session ID. If it is empty, TokenMizer derives the ID from the working directory name — stable across sessions on the same project, and the convention the docs already recommend (~/projects/auth-service → auth-service). The command prints the ID it chose.

Ask only if the command exits 2, which means the directory has no usable name to derive from (a filesystem root, or a generic folder such as tmp). Then ask exactly: Which session ID should this be saved under?

What to do

tokenmizer checkpoint $ARGUMENTS

Relay the command's output. Do not restate it in your own words, do not add commentary or congratulation, and do not address the operator by name.

Output

Report the result in exactly this shape, filled from the command's output:

Checkpoint saved — auth-service
  checkpoint     ckpt_a3f9b2
  nodes          14 (6 tasks, 4 decisions, 3 files, 1 error)
  resume cost    247 tokens

Resume with: tokenmizer resume auth-service

If the command exits non-zero, show its error text unchanged. It already says what to do — an unreachable server prints the tokenmizer serve instruction itself.

Notes

  • Session IDs are lowercase slugs: auth-service, not Auth Service.
  • Use the same ID across sessions for the same project. That is what makes a later resume find anything.
  • The server must be running for this command; tokenmizer serve starts it.

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.

checkpoint is a skill published in the GitHub repository Shweta-Mishra-ai/tokenmizer (34 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 440 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
