checkpoint
v1.0.0Preserves conversation context across compaction and hands off work across sessions, agents, and CLI windows — distills since-last-checkpoint state into the project's .aai/checkpoint.md before /compact or /clear, or runs the .context/ store check-in/check-out protocol; use for "checkpoint", "checkpoint before compact", "save context before clearing", "session check-in", "wrap up".

Included Skills1
Preserve conversation context across compaction and hand off work across sessions, agents, and CLI windows. Two modes. COMPACT mode (the default — "/checkpoint", "/checkpoint:compact", "checkpoint before compact", "save context before clearing", "I'm about to compact/clear", or whenever the context window is getting long) distills the high-signal context since the last checkpoint into the project's `.aai/checkpoint.md`, then tells the user to run /compact. SESSION mode ("/checkpoint:session", "session check-in", "what should I work on", "resume work", "wrap up", "session check-out") runs the multi-agent .context/ store protocol — claims a task on entry, updates the board and appends a handoff entry on exit. Use compact mode for single-conversation continuity; session mode for projects with a `.context/` directory coordinating multiple agents.
