Meta-skill for managing Gemini CLI's checkpointing system. Checkpointing creates automatic snapshots before file modifications, enabling instant rollback.
Keywords: checkpoint, rollback, restore, undo, snapshot, revert, experiment, checkpointing, /restore
Use this skill when:
When enabled, before any file modification Gemini creates:
~/.gemini/history/<project_hash>Checkpoints are stored locally and don't interfere with your project's Git repository.
Add to settings.json:
{
"general": {
"checkpointing": {
"enabled": true
}
}
}
cat ~/.gemini/settings.json | jq '.general.checkpointing'
/restore
Shows available checkpoint files for the current project.
/restore <checkpoint_file>
Restores files and conversation to the checkpoint state.
Format: {timestamp}-{filename}-{tool_name}
Example: 2025-06-22T10-00-00_000Z-my-file.txt-write_file

Auto-quicksaves files before destructive bash commands (rm, mv, git reset); manual checkpoints, diffs, lists, and restores for safe file recovery.
Automatically tracks Claude's file edits and conversations. Rewind code changes, chat history, or both via /rewind or Esc+Esc. Summarizes sessions to manage context and recover from errors.
