Quick Checkpoint Commit

Create a quick WIP checkpoint commit to save your current work.

Instructions

Create a quick checkpoint commit to save work-in-progress. This is useful for:

• Saving state before risky operations
• Creating restore points during development
• Quick saves when switching context

Workflow

1. Check current status - Use get_status MCP tool

   • Quickly see staged, modified, and untracked files
   • Check for any files that shouldn't be committed (secrets, etc.)

2. Stage all changes (unless there are files with secrets):

   git add -A
   

3. Create checkpoint commit:

   git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
   chore(wip): checkpoint - <brief description>
   
   Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code)
   
   Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
   EOF
   )"
   

Notes

• Checkpoints can be squashed later with git rebase -i
• The description should be brief (e.g., "before refactor", "auth working", "halfway done")
• Skip files that shouldn't be committed (secrets, large binaries)

Arguments

If the user provides a description after the command, use it:

• /git:checkpoint before api changes -> chore(wip): checkpoint - before api changes
• /git:checkpoint -> Ask for a brief description or use current context

Now create a checkpoint commit.
