What Checkpoint does

Checkpoint saves a structured state snapshot before stopping or handing off, capturing the active plan, recent decisions, file pointers with line numbers, open questions, and next actions. Use it before a break, model switch, or collaborator handoff when you need to resume quickly.

Checkpoint is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Checkpoint comes from a repository tagged academic-writing, causal-inference, claude-code, claude-code-skills and econometrics.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

/checkpoint — Structured Session Handoff

Produce a state snapshot that the next session (yours, or a collaborator's, or a fresh-context reboot) can resume from in under a minute. The narrative quality_reports/session_logs/ continues to live separately — /checkpoint writes the structured side: facts, file pointers, and next-actions.
