checkpoint

checkpoint is a skill for Claude Code from Shweta-Mishra-ai/tokenmizer. It costs 61 tokens per session (434 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 1 finding 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 10d 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.

What it actually says

Save the current session to TokenMizer graph memory.

What to do

  1. Ask the user for a session ID if not provided (suggest a slug based on what you're working on, e.g. "auth-service", "data-pipeline", "my-project")
  2. Call the TokenMizer checkpoint API:
curl -s -X POST "http://localhost:8000/api/checkpoint?session_id=$ARGUMENTS" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"
  1. Show the user what was saved:
    • Checkpoint ID
    • Number of nodes in graph
    • Resume token count
    • The resume context block

If TokenMizer is not running

Tell the user to start it first:

tokenmizer serve
# or
python3 -m tokenmizer.api.app

Session ID rules

  • Use lowercase slugs: auth-service not Auth Service
  • Keep it short and meaningful
  • Same ID across sessions for the same project

Example output to show user

✅ Session 'auth-service' saved

Checkpoint: ckpt_a3f9b2
Nodes: 14 (6 tasks, 4 decisions, 3 files, 1 error)
Resume size: 247 tokens

Resume context:
Goal: Build FastAPI auth service with JWT
Done: Project setup | User model | Login endpoint | Fix 422
In progress: Refresh token rotation
Decided: PostgreSQL | bcrypt | Redis for tokens
Files: api/auth.py, api/models.py, config.py
Continue: Implement token refresh endpoint

If $ARGUMENTS is empty, ask: "What should I call this session? (e.g. my-project)"

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 (30 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 434 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
