checkpoint is agent-read markdown (skill) from pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow: Save a structured state snapshot before stopping or handing off. Captures the active plan, recent decisions, file pointers (with line numbers), open questions, and the next 1–3 actions into a checkpoint file under `quality_reports/checkpoints/`. Optionally proposes `[LEARN]` entries to add to MEMORY.md. Use when user says "checkpoint", "save state", "snapshot before I stop", "where am I", "wrap up the session for handoff", or before a long break / model switch / collaborator handoff. Companion t.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified before it reaches your agent: the main file against the SHA-256 recorded here, the others against the git hashes of its source commit. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
<!-- Pattern adapted from Hugo Sant'Anna's clo-author v4.2.0 (github.com/hugosantanna/clo-author),
used with permission. Original /checkpoint shape: project-level session handoff with
state snapshot + memory updates. This implementation is reimplemented in original
prose against this template's narrative-session-log + plan-on-disk + auto-memory
architecture. Attribution credit: Hugo Sant'Anna. -->
# /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.
## When to use
- Before a long break, model switch (Opus ↔ Sonnet ↔ Haiku), or end of a working day.
- Before auto-compaction would otherwise discard mid-plan context (paired with the PreCompact hook).
- Before handing off to a collaborator on the same repo.
- After completing a chunk of a multi-session plan, when "where am I" is the first question the next session will ask.
## When NOT to use

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 for exact bytes. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install fetches those bytes again and checks them, so it installs them exactly or fails.
