Is the Checkpoint skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Checkpoint SkillProof Score?

9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Checkpoint?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Checkpoint with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.2/10
Tested: Jul 20, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 60ccd8b

Fetched the repo tree via gh API and read the full SKILL.md at .claude/skills/checkpoint/SKILL.md; verified all 6 cross-referenced files (rules/session-logging.md, plan-first-workflow.md, meta-governance.md, hooks/pre-compact.py, templates/decision-record.md, MEMORY.md) exist in the tree. No install script, no curl|sh, no base64/exfiltration — only an attribution comment to Hugo Sant'Anna's clo-author. Trigger phrasings tested — SHOULD load: (1) "checkpoint before I switch to Sonnet", (2) "save state, snapshot before I stop", (3) "wrap up the session for handoff to my collaborator"; should NOT load: (4) "commit my changes with a good message" (that's /commit), (5) "write a narrative session log of today" (that's the session-log workflow) — the SKILL's "When NOT to use" disambiguates all 5 correctly.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

Installs cleanly 5/5
Triggers reliably 5/5
Output vs. baseline 8/10
Docs & honesty 5/5

What Checkpoint does

A pure-prompt slash command (/checkpoint) that gathers plan, session-log, git, and TODO state and writes a compact state snapshot under quality_reports/checkpoints/ — goal, where-I-am, file:line pointers, open questions, next 1-3 actions, and a resume prompt. Triggers on "checkpoint", "save state", "snapshot before I stop", "where am I", or before a break/model-switch/handoff. Optionally proposes [LEARN] entries for MEMORY.md.

How to install Checkpoint

Copy the checkpoint/ folder into your repo's .claude/skills/. Best used inside the full claude-code-my-workflow scaffold (quality_reports/ dirs, .claude/rules/*, MEMORY.md); standalone it degrades gracefully by recording "(none on disk)" for missing sources.

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Checkpoint

/checkpoint Writes a structured, resumable session-handoff snapshot with file:line pointers and a resume prompt.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

Checkpoint before I stop for the day
Save state before I hand this off
Where am I in this task right now
