Saving the game on Claude Code: how I resume a project without remembering anything

You close the session on a Friday, and on Monday you cannot remember where you were, what you decided, or why. This episode shows the technique I use so that never happens: a written checkpoint, a handoff with five fixed sections; the goal, what is done, the decisions taken with their reason, the next step, and how to verify it. You see it on screen, over real recorded work in an isolated practice project with invented records: how the file is written before any code is touched, how a delicate decision is stored with its reason, how the work itself saves its progress and can carry on where it stopped, and how the handoff is audited once it starts to go stale. And the part nobody mentions: a checkpoint that is out of date is worse than none, because people believe it.
