Agent integration command
Supported agents call autter checkpoint through their installed integrations. You usually do not run it by hand.
autter checkpoint <preset> --hook-input stdin
Presets include Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini, Amp, Windsurf, OpenCode, Pi, Continue, and other supported agents.
Treat checkpoint arguments and hook input as an integration interface. Prefer autter install-hooks over hand-written agent hooks.
