Checkpoints in Power Claude — recover a known-good session state

Checkpoints in Power Claude — recover a known-good session state

Checkpoints capture recoverable session continuity so a bad turn, crash, or experiment does not erase the last known-good path of work.

TL;DR

| Item | Detail | |---|---| | What | Local continuity snapshots for sessions | | Why | Undo “I wish I hadn’t let it thrash for 20 minutes” | | Not | Cloud backup of your code (use git) |

How to use

1. Enable checkpoint-related settings if presented in Power Claude Settings. 2. Prefer git commits for source-of-truth code; checkpoints are for **agent session continuity**. 3. After a bad loop, restore / resume from the last good checkpoint via session recovery surfaces. 4. Pair with Watchdog and Resume stalled.

FAQ

Replace git?

No. Checkpoints do not replace version control.
