I have a strong suspicion that if you need, or feel you need something like this, you're misusing coding agents.

#72This is fantastic, but a very spicy business. All Claude needs to do is add one feature and you've got your whole business nuked from orbit.
What business? This seems to be completely free, with no pricing, in-app purchases, or anything. That being said, it's strange that it doesn't seem to be open-source.
Re: Claude Code Checkpoints
#73This is something I really wish was just built-in to Claude Code. I want it built in because I don't want to have to think about it beforehand. I should be able to jump back in conversation history and have the state of the code jump back with me, so it's restored to the same state it originally was at that point in the conversation. (There does also need to be a way to jump back in the conversation history without r…
Github Copilot in vscode can do that and also has the Claude models available
The claude models are just a part of Claude code. I've worked with both copilot with the Claude models and Claude code itself. Claude code is way more capable, and has a greater likelihood of successfully completing a task.

Gemini cli already got this, it's disabled by default. Ref: https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/docs/c...
if only gemini cli could edit files without getting stuck in an infinite loop
A few weeks ago I asked gemini cli to do something pretty simple and it ran for like 12 minutes and then failed with an exception. Haven't tried it again since.

#75I don't know what this is but isn't git enough? Incidentally I'm not convinced in my day-to-day for "jujitsu" (jj) but from what I understand about how it works, I've been wanting to give it a try for agent-based coding, based on the way it defaults to saving everything and letting you sort it out after. I do like how Aider commits everything so you can easily roll back, although it ends up with a few too many commit…
Yea but then you need need to commit each iteration of each file right away, even if its not working. Its fine if you just rebase at the end manually, but not good if you don't, your history will be cluttered and as hard to read as the codebase. Eventually most people who use coding tools will have low knowledge of what is being generated and then they probably never rebase either...
Yup, just rebase.
I just commit with a “wip!”-prefaced message whenever the LLM pauses and says it’s finished, including new files. You can squash and cleanup later, or revert back to a state before it screwed up.
Also doubles as a way to cohesively look at the changes it made without all the natural language and recursive error/type fixing it does while working.
I don’t understand why people are making it so complicated. You’re saving a minute per iteration with the LLM, tops, at risk of losing control or introducing hard to find issues. It is the definition of diminishing returns.

#76i love the process of AI vibe coding slowly re-inventing the normal structures of software development how long until we start seeing software products for scrum management and t-shirt size estimation for claude code introduce waterfall methodology to the LLM!
People are already doing waterfall with their quest for the perfect prompt that will produce a complete, fully functional implementation.
(These people dont realise that there a lot of tradeoffs to be made that pop up during implementation)
Re: Claude Code Checkpoints
#77this is coming to Claude Code
They have hinted at it?
Re: Claude Code Checkpoints
#78Am I the only one who is getting tired of all these LLM generated landing pages with their hallmark indigo backgrounds/gradients, unnecessary and tasteless transitions, and meaningless marketing sell points?

You can press ESC-ESC in Claude code to open the conversation history view and go back to a previous point in the conversation. It doesn't restore code, which is still a miss, but it is built in and useful!

Are you aware of trademark law?
Yes, tried to make it clear that this is Checkpoints for Claude Code. An addition to Claude Code.
I don't think you succeeded. The product name in the article title is 'Claude Code Checkpoints', and the url is 'claude-checkpoints.com'. Nowhere do you note that Claude is a trademark of Anthropic, or disclaim association with Anthropic, or describe that you obtained permission to use their trademarked name in your product. I personally was confused about whether this was an official product at first. I'd be surprised if Anthropic didn't get peeved about this.
