# Checkpoint Management
## Overview
Git-backed checkpoint system providing safe rollback points during development sessions. Each checkpoint creates a tagged commit with descriptive metadata for easy identification and restoration.
## Operations
### Create Checkpoint
- Stage all current changes
- Create commit with [CHECKPOINT] prefix
- Tag with claudekit-checkpoint-{timestamp}
- Record metadata: files changed, insertions, deletions
### Restore Checkpoint
- List available checkpoints by tag
- Preview changes that would be reverted
- Restore to selected checkpoint via git reset
- Verify restored state matches checkpoint
## Session Isolation
Checkpoints are session-scoped. Tags created during a session can be cleaned up without affecting other work.
## When to Use
- Before risky refactoring operations
- After passing quality checks (safety checkpoints)
- At the start and end of ClaudeKit sessions
- Before spec execution phases
## Processes Used By
- `claudekit-orchestrator` (session start/end checkpoints)
- `claudekit-safety-pipeline` (safety checkpoints after quality checks)
