⚡ Key Takeaways

  • ckpt adds git-based checkpoints to AI agents, enabling instant restores that save tokens and sanity.
  • Unlike IDE tools, it works for CLI agents and lets the AI self-correct without human input.
  • Open-source MIT, install via npm—could become standard for efficient AI coding workflows.
