pod-checkpoint

pod-checkpoint is a skill for Claude Code from Snowflake-Labs/cocoplus. It costs 36 tokens per session (1,382 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checkpoint tool that writes a structured recovery snapshot of the current project state before the agent's context is reset.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record recovery information in the project's lifecycle checkpoint file before switching context.
Why use it?
It preserves important progress and decisions so work can resume without reconstructing the whole task.

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

pod-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 21d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 142 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

$pod checkpoint

Write a structured recovery snapshot to .cocoplus/lifecycle/checkpoint.md. Use this before $clear to ensure $pod resume can restore your exact position.

Preconditions

  • .cocoplus/ directory must exist (run $pod init first)
  • No arguments accepted

Step-by-Step Behavior

  1. Verify initialization: Check .cocoplus/ exists. If not, output: "CocoPlus not initialized. Run $pod init first." and exit.

  2. Read current lifecycle phase: Read .cocoplus/lifecycle/meta.json. Extract: current phase, phase ID, completion timestamps.

  3. Read in-progress flow stage: Read .cocoplus/flow.json. Find the stage with status: "running" or the next status: "pending" stage. Extract: stage ID, stage name, checkpoint validation status.

  4. Read last 5 decisions: Read .cocoplus/memory/decisions.md. Extract the 5 most recent entries (newest first) — capture ID, brief description, date.

  5. Read open must-fix items: Read .cocoplus/lifecycle/review.md if it exists. Extract any must-fix findings that have not been resolved.

  6. Read active HITL stages: Read .cocoplus/flow.json. Find all stages with "hitl": true and status: "pending" awaiting developer approval.

  7. Read triggered seeds: Scan .cocoplus/seeds/*.yaml for entries with status: triggered.

  8. Read CocoHarvest status: Read .cocoplus/harvest/ directory for any *-tasks.json files with in-progress stages. Extract harvest ID and agent summary.

  9. Assess context utilization: Read .cocoplus/meter/current-session.json if it exists. Approximate utilization from token accumulation. If context utilization data is unavailable, omit this field gracefully.

  10. Write checkpoint file: Write all gathered state to .cocoplus/lifecycle/checkpoint.md (overwrite if it exists):

---
checkpoint_date: [ISO8601]
lifecycle_phase: [phase name]
phase_id: [phase-id or null]
context_utilization: [percentage or "unavailable"]
---

# CocoPlus Checkpoint — [ISO8601]

## Lifecycle State
- **Phase:** [current phase] (ID: [phase-id])
- **Last completed:** [last phase completed with timestamp]

## In-Progress Flow Stage
- **Stage:** [stage-id] — [stage name]
- **Persona:** [assigned persona]
- **Checkpoints validated:** [N / total]
- **Status:** [running / pending]

## Last 5 Decisions
1. [[decision-id]] [brief description] — [date]
2. ...

## Pending Must-Fix Items
[List from review.md, or "None"]

## HITL Stages Awaiting Approval
[List of hitl: true stages with pending status, or "None"]

## Active CocoHarvest Run
- **Harvest ID:** [run-id or "None active"]
- **Agents:** [summary of in-progress agents]

## Triggered Seeds Ready for Promotion
[List of triggered seeds, or "None"]

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.

pod-checkpoint is a skill published in the GitHub repository Snowflake-Labs/cocoplus (726 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 1,382 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
