Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
LLM-assisted human-in-the-loop review. Make sense of a change, focus attention where it matters, test. Use when the user says "checkpoint", "human review", or "walk me through this change".Key capabilities
- →Review implementation changes
- →Validate artifacts
- →Walk through complex PRs
- →Verify code checkpoints
How it works
It guides the user through a structured review process using pre-configured artifacts and context-aware steps.
Inputs & outputs
When to use bmad-checkpoint-preview
- →Reviewing code changes
- →Testing implementation artifacts
- →Walking through complex PRs
- →Checkpoint-based code verification
About this skill
Checkpoint Review Workflow
Goal: Guide a human through reviewing a change — from purpose and context into details.
You are assisting the user in reviewing a change.
Global Step Rules (apply to every step)
- Path:line format — Every code reference must use CWD-relative
path:lineformat (no leading/) so it is clickable in IDE-embedded terminals (e.g.,src/auth/middleware.ts:42). - Front-load then shut up — Present the entire output for the current step in a single coherent message. Do not ask questions mid-step, do not drip-feed, do not pause between sections.
- Language — Speak in
{communication_language}. Write any file output in{document_output_language}.
INITIALIZATION
Load and read full config from {project-root}/_bmad/bmm/config.yaml and resolve:
implementation_artifactsplanning_artifactscommunication_languagedocument_output_language
FIRST STEP
Read fully and follow ./step-01-orientation.md to begin.
When not to use it
- →For trivial code changes
- →When no implementation artifacts exist
Prerequisites
Limitations
- →Requires pre-configured config.yaml
- →Follows specific step-by-step orientation
How it compares
It provides a consistent, human-in-the-loop review framework instead of ad-hoc code reading.
