checkpoint

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.

# /checkpoint

## What

A quick mid-session save that banks the known-good state in two moves:

1. **Descriptive git commit** — stage relevant changes and commit with a
   message that summarizes the work.
2. **Brief handoff note** — write `.claude/handoff.md` so 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`.
