resume [CP#] | Resume interrupted checkpoint |
Action: Start Checkpoint
1. Load State
Read .planning/CHECKPOINTS.md and .planning/PRD.md.
2. Complexity Check
Count tasks and estimate files:
Checkpoint: CP1 - Database Setup
Tasks: 3
Estimated files: ~5
If >5 tasks OR >10 estimated files:
⚠️ This checkpoint is large (6 tasks, ~12 files).
Consider splitting into smaller checkpoints.
Continue anyway? [y/n]
3. Mark Active
Update CHECKPOINTS.md:
## CP1: Database Setup 🔄
> Started: [date]
4. Auto-Detect UI Work
Check if any task involves UI:
- Keywords: "form", "button", "page", "component", "UI", "style"
- Files:
*.tsx in components/, app/
If UI work detected:
🎨 UI work detected. Applying /baseline-ui rules:
- No gradients unless requested
- No animations unless requested
- Use Tailwind defaults
- shadcn/ui components
Load .claude/rules/ui.md into context.
5. Show Plan
## Starting CP1: Database Setup
Tasks to implement:
1. [ ] Create users table with RLS
2. [ ] Create tasks table with RLS
3. [ ] Generate TypeScript types
I'll implement all tasks, then ask for your approval.
Beginning...
6. Auto-Implement All Tasks
For each task:
-
Announce task:
### Task 1/3: Create users table with RLS
-
Implement - Do the actual work
-
Quick verify (silent):
bun run build
-
Track progress in memory:
✓ Task 1/3 complete
-
Save partial progress to CHECKPOINTS.md:
- [x] Create users table with RLS ← partial
- [ ] Create tasks table with RLS
-
Continue to next task - No pause
7. Handle Errors
If build fails:
⚠️ Task 1 failed build:
[error message]
Attempting fix...
Fix and retry (max 3 attempts).
If unfixable:
❌ Stuck on Task 1 after 3 attempts.
Options:
1. Skip and continue (mark as TODO)
2. Pause for human help
3. Rollback this task
8. All Tasks Done → Auto-Complete
All tasks implemented. Running final verification...
Automatically proceed to complete flow.
Action: Complete Checkpoint
1. Full Verification
Run all checks:
bun run build
bun run lint
bun run test --passWithNoTests 2>/dev/null || true
## CP1 Verification
| Check | Status |
|-------|--------|
| Build | ✅ Pass |
| Lint | ✅ Pass |
| Tests | ✅ Pass (or N/A) |
| Tasks | ✅ 3/3 complete |
If any check fails:
## CP1 Verification: ISSUES FOUND
| Check | Status | Issue |
|-------|--------|-------|
| Lint | ⚠️ | 2 warnings in users.ts |
Auto-fixing lint issues...
Auto-fix if possible, then re-verify.
2. Generate Diff Summary
git diff --stat HEAD
git diff --name-only HEAD

Rules
- One commit per checkpoint - not per task
- Auto-implement all tasks - no pause between
- Human approval only at end - with full diff
- Auto-start next checkpoint - maintain flow
- Build + Lint + Test must pass
- Auto-apply UI rules when UI work detected
- Save partial progress for recovery
- Fix errors automatically - only ask if stuck
