Keep a multi-hour coding session from blowing the context window
When to use: You're 3 hours into a coding loop and the model is starting to drop context.
Prerequisites
- Server/skill installed and authenticated — See repo README
Flow
-
CheckpointUse the context-engineering skill's 'checkpoint' to summarize what we've done into a tight handoff doc.✓ Copied→ A handoff doc Claude can re-read instead of full history
-
ResumeCompact the conversation and resume from the handoff doc.✓ Copied→ Session continues with fresh context
Outcome: Sessions that don't degrade as they grow.
Pitfalls
- Checkpointing too often loses fine-grained context. The kit suggests every ~30 turns or before any /compact. — Checkpointing too often loses fine-grained context. The kit suggests every ~30 turns or before any /compact.
