README.md

chkpt — Claude Code Plugin

Fast, content-addressable workspace checkpoints for Claude Code.

Installation

# Add the marketplace
/plugin marketplace add syi0808/chkpt

# Install the plugin
/plugin install chkpt@chkpt-marketplace

What's Included

MCP Server (4 tools)

  • checkpoint_save: save a workspace snapshot
  • checkpoint_list: list available checkpoints
  • checkpoint_restore: restore to a checkpoint (with dry-run)
  • checkpoint_delete: delete a checkpoint

Skill (/chkpt:chkpt)

  • Proactive automation: suggests checkpoints before risky operations (large refactors, file deletion, dependency changes)
  • Direct operations: save, list, restore, delete via MCP tools
  • Store inspection: examine checkpoint internals and compare snapshots

Requirements

  • Node.js (for npx to run the MCP server)
  • The MCP server binary is automatically downloaded via npm

How It Works

chkpt saves workspace state to ~/.chkpt/stores/ without polluting Git. It uses:

  • Content-addressed deduplication (BLAKE3 hashing)
  • zstd compression for storage efficiency
  • SQLite-based incremental change detection
