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