Session Checkpoint

Purpose: Quickly save current state so you can recover after a session failure.

Instructions

Update the Quick Recovery section at the top of SESSION_CONTEXT.md with:

  1. Current timestamp
  2. Branch name (run git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)
  3. Working on - Brief description of current task
  4. Files modified - List files changed since last commit (git diff --name-only)
  5. Next step - What to do next if session dies
  6. Uncommitted work - Yes/No

Quick Recovery Template

Update SESSION_CONTEXT.md "Quick Recovery" section with this format:

markdown
## 🔄 Quick Recovery

**Last Checkpoint**: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM **Branch**: `branch-name-here` **Working
On**: [brief task description] **Files Modified**: [list or "none"] **Next
Step**: [what to do next] **Uncommitted Work**: yes/no

Also Consider

  • If uncommitted work exists, consider committing now:

    bash
    git add -A && git commit -m "WIP: checkpoint before potential failure"
    
  • If working on risky operations, push the branch:

    bash
    git push -u origin $(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)
    

When to Use This Command

  • Before large file operations
  • Before complex multi-step tasks
  • When you notice session becoming slow
  • Periodically during long sessions (every 30-60 minutes)
  • Before any operation that previously caused failures

Run this checkpoint now and update SESSION_CONTEXT.md.
