KeepGoing for Claude Code

Session memory for Claude Code. Auto-saves checkpoints, shows what you were working on when you return, and tracks progress across sessions.

What it does

Once installed, KeepGoing runs automatically in the background:

  • Session start: Shows your last checkpoint and what you were working on
  • While coding: Tracks file edits and session activity
  • Session end: Auto-saves a checkpoint so nothing is lost

Installation

/plugin marketplace add keepgoing-dev/community
/plugin install keepgoing

After installing, run /keepgoing:setup once to complete configuration (writes the rules file and statusline).

Full install guide: https://keepgoing.dev/setup/claude-plugin

Slash commands

Command What it does
/keepgoing:resume Quick "where did I leave off?" briefing
/keepgoing:briefing Full context reconstruction for a big session
/keepgoing:checkpoint [message] Save a checkpoint manually with a custom message
/keepgoing:progress Standup-ready progress summary across sessions
/keepgoing:hot See what's actively in-progress
/keepgoing:continue [target] Export context to another AI tool (chatgpt, gemini, copilot, claude, general)
/keepgoing:setup Complete setup (rules file, statusline)

Upgrading from manual setup

If you previously configured KeepGoing via keepgoing init or setup_project, your settings.json already has KeepGoing hooks. The plugin provides those hooks too, so you'll have duplicates.

To clean up: remove the KeepGoing hook entries from your .claude/settings.json or ~/.claude/settings.json, then run /keepgoing:setup to restore the rules file and statusline.

MCP tools

With the plugin installed, Claude has direct access to all KeepGoing tools during your session:

  • save_checkpoint - Save the current state
  • get_reentry_briefing - Get structured context
  • get_momentum - Current session and branch status
  • get_session_history - Full session history
  • get_decisions - Key architectural decisions (Pro)
  • get_whats_hot - Recently active files and branches
  • continue_on - Export context for other AI tools
  • setup_project - Configure KeepGoing

Pro

Some features (decisions tracking, detailed briefings) require a KeepGoing Pro license. Visit keepgoing.dev to learn more.
