Save and resume working state across sessions, with subcommands save, resume, and list. Captures git state, decisions made, remaining work, and modified files so a new session can pick up where the last one left off. Use when user says "checkpoint", "save progress", "save state", "resume", "pick up where I left off", or wants to preserve session context. For git commits, use /ship commit; for retrospectives, use /retro; for planning, use /plan.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
## Overview Persist working state to disk so a future session can restore full context without the user re-explaining everything. ## Subcommand Routing | Invocation | Action | |-----------|--------| | `/checkpoint save` | Capture current state to a checkpoint file | | `/checkpoint save <purpose>` | Capture state tailored to what the next session will be used for | | `/checkpoint resume` | Restore context from the most recent checkpoint | | `/checkpoint resume <id>` | Restore context from a specific checkpoint | | `/checkpoint list` | Show all available checkpoints | | `/checkpoint` | Default to `save` | ## When to Use Decide at a phase boundary, the point where one chunk of work such as an interview, an implementation, or a QA pass is done. Mid-phase there is nothing to decide: continue, or hand the remaining work to subagents. Work the questions in order; the first yes wins. 1. **Continue?** Yes when the next phase needs this session as a primary source, as implementation needs the interview that preceded it, or when enough context is left for the next phase to fit. Continuing loses nothing, so rule it out first. …

How to install
mdr add gufranco/claude-engineering-rules/checkpoint@sha256:0da523aee28fe766The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.02cb8cd, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
