How does it identify which feature I am working on?

It uses a discovery script to scan your project's .dev/ directory for active feature paths, or allows you to specify a feature name manually.

Does it automatically commit my code?

The skill offers an optional commit step at the end of the process, providing a generated message based on your session's accomplishments for your approval.

Why is a continuation prompt generated?

The continuation prompt provides a structured summary for Claude to read at the start of a new session, ensuring it understands the exact state, decisions made, and next steps.

What does the dev-checkpoint skill actually save?

It saves your current feature status, git state, uncommitted changes, and updates your PRD status markers to keep your documentation in sync with your code.

Productivity & Workflow

Saves development progress by updating PRD status, capturing git state, and generating continuation prompts for seamless multi-session coding.

The dev-checkpoint skill is designed for developers using Claude Code who need to maintain continuity across multiple coding sessions. It automates the process of documenting progress by analyzing the current session, updating Product Requirements Document (PRD) status markers, and capturing the exact git state. By generating a structured checkpoint.md file and a continuation prompt, it ensures that Claude can resume work with full context, including awareness of completed tasks, pending items, and identified blockers. It even supports advanced workflows like automated git worktree setup for isolated feature development.
