What it does
Checkpoint is an agent skill from codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit. Mid-session save point: create a descriptive git commit and a brief handoff note, then keep working. Use before a risky change or refactor, when switching tasks, or to bank progress without ending the session. Triggers on: /checkpoint, "checkpoint", "save progress", "commit and handoff", "save state", "pause here", "before a risky change". For the full end-of-session ritual with learning extraction, use /wrap-up instead.
Its SKILL.md is about 820 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Session handoff, Commit messages and Refactoring. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Make Claude Code a .NET 10 Expert. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Commit and handoff
- Before a risky change
Example prompts
- “checkpoint”
- “save progress”
- “commit and handoff”
- “/checkpoint”
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Descriptive git commit — stage relevant changes and commit with a
- Brief handoff note — write .claude/handoff.md so a resumed session
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2330089. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Checkpoint loads about 817 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 291 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:41
ed files, build artifacts, and secrets (`.env`, credentials).
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

What
A quick mid-session save that banks the known-good state in two moves:
- Descriptive git commit — stage relevant changes and commit with a message that summarizes the work.
- Brief handoff note — write
.claude/handoff.mdso a resumed session (or you, after a botched refactor) knows exactly where things stand.
Checkpoint is the mid-session save; /wrap-up is the end-of-session ritual.
Checkpoint commits and jots a note, then keeps working. Wrap-up does the full
handoff plus learning extraction into MEMORY.md.
When
- Before a risky refactor or destructive change — checkpoint the known-good state
- When switching to a different task or feature mid-session
- After completing a logical unit of work — bank it
- User says "checkpoint", "save progress", "save state", "pause here"
- If the session is actually ending, use
/wrap-upfor the full ritual
How
- Assess state —
git statusandgit diffto see staged and unstaged changes. - Stage changes — Stage specific files; never
git add -A. Exclude generated files, build artifacts, and secrets (.env, credentials). - Commit — Descriptive message following the repo's commit style
(conventional prefixes:
feat:,fix:,refactor:). New commit, never amend. If there is nothing to commit, skip to the handoff. - Write handoff note —
.claude/handoff.md, same format as/wrap-upbut abbreviated: Completed, Pending (with specific next steps), Learned (only if something non-obvious surfaced), and Context (branch + commit hash). One file, always overwritten. - Confirm — Report the commit hash and the handoff summary, then resume work.
Safety Rules
- Never push, force-push, or touch remote branches
- Never commit secrets
- Never amend — a checkpoint is a new commit you can return to
- No changes to commit? Update the handoff only
Example
User: /checkpoint — about to try the EF Core split-query refactor
Claude: 3 files modified, 1 new.
Commit a1b2c3d: "feat: add CreateOrder validation with FluentValidation"
- src/Orders/Features/CreateOrder.cs
- src/Orders/Features/CreateOrderValidator.cs (new)
- tests/Orders.Tests/Features/CreateOrderTests.cs
Handoff updated (.claude/handoff.md):
## Completed
- [x] CreateOrder validation + 3 test scenarios
## Pending
- [ ] Split-query refactor in GetOrderDetails (about to attempt)
## Context
- Branch: feature/order-validation | Checkpoint: a1b2c3d
Checkpoint saved — safe to proceed with the risky refactor.Related

When should I use Checkpoint?
Checkpoint fits situations like: commit and handoff; before a risky change.
How do I install Checkpoint in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit --skill checkpoint -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/checkpoint in codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit) into .claude/skills/checkpoint in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Checkpoint in Codex?
Run `npx skills add codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit --skill checkpoint -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/checkpoint in codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit) into .agents/skills/checkpoint in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Checkpoint in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit --skill checkpoint -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/checkpoint, .gemini/skills/checkpoint, .github/skills/checkpoint and .opencode/skills/checkpoint in your project.
What does Checkpoint need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Checkpoint needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git).
Does Checkpoint access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Checkpoint safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (mentions a .env file), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Checkpoint use?
Checkpoint is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Checkpoint use?
About 817 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Checkpoint?
