Session 5
Undo anything: Checkpoints
Goal. Experiment fearlessly — revert any change the agent made in one click.
- 1Each step Cascade takes leaves a checkpoint snapshot of your project. If an agent change goes wrong or you simply don't like it, revert to an earlier checkpoint in one click.
- 2This makes big, multi-file agent tasks safe to try: kick one off, review the result, and roll the whole thing back if it's not right — nothing is silently overwritten.
- 3Use checkpoints as your safety net. Try the bold version of a task, and if it doesn't work out, revert and re-prompt with a sharper instruction.
You'll see. A clean one-click rollback of an agent change, with your project restored to exactly how it was before.
Cost. Reverting to a checkpoint costs nothing — it's a local snapshot, not a new agent task.
Takeaway. Checkpoints make the agent safe to let loose: any change it makes is one click away from being undone.
