Skill: Session Checkpoints
When to Checkpoint
| Trigger | Action | |---------|--------| | Before first delegation | After decomposition, before agents start | | After each phase | When a parallel batch completes | | Before risky work | DB migrations, large refactors, security changes | | Session end | Any session with incomplete work | | Context running low | Checkpoint immediately |
Checkpoint Template
The full checkpoint template has been moved to CHECKPOINT-TEMPLATE.md in this directory for progressive disclosure. Use that file as the canonical, copy-pasteable checkpoint document.
See the Decomposition Flow in the decomposition skill for when to create checkpoints: decomposition.
Checkpoint creation (quick)
- Create
.opencastle/SESSION-CHECKPOINT.mdfrom the example below. - Commit checkpoint or save to workspace and attach to the tracker issue.
- Verify:
cat .opencastle/SESSION-CHECKPOINT.mdand confirm listed files exist.
# Session Checkpoint — 2026-04-01
## Summary
Implementing search filters — unit tests passing, E2E pending.
## Files Touched
- src/components/SearchFilter.tsx (new)
- src/hooks/useFilters.ts (modified)
## Task Status
| Task | Status |
|------|--------|
| TASK-12 Search filter component | Done |
| TASK-13 E2E filter tests | In Progress |
## Resume Instructions
1. Run `git checkout feat/search-filters`
2. Start dev server: `pnpm dev`
3. Continue TASK-13: write E2E tests for filter interactions
For the complete copy-pasteable template, see CHECKPOINT-TEMPLATE.md.
Resuming
- Read
.opencastle/SESSION-CHECKPOINT.md - Run
git statusandgit branch— confirm you are on the correct branch - Check In Progress tasks — if stale (>1 session old), verify files match expected state
- Check Pending Approvals — remove rows for questions answered via VS Code chat
- Read tracker issues for any tasks marked In Progress or Todo
- Follow the Resume Instructions section in the checkpoint
- Update checkpoint progress after each completed task
If checkpoint is missing or corrupt: Rebuild from git log --oneline -20 and tracker state.
Cleanup & Team Lead
When all issues Done: archive to tracker, delete .opencastle/SESSION-CHECKPOINT.md.
