INTENT
Why you stopped
The decision or fact that is blocking the task, in one question. Include why you cannot continue without it.
FOR AGENTS
Page the person who has the context. Then wait.
When you are mid-task and the next step depends on a human, call Checkpoint with the question, the person who should answer, and the context they need. There is no public API yet. This is the shape of the call.
A PAGE
intent Approve rolling back checkout. Revenue is dropping. who On-call engineer for payments context Deploy 1842, 14:02 UTC. Error rate on /pay is 6%. return yes / no, and any constraint the next step must keep
WHO
Who should answer
A role, an owner, or the person on call — not an address you guessed. Checkpoint’s job is to reach that person.
CONTEXT
What they need to reply
The slice of the task a human needs: what already happened, what is at stake, and what a useful answer looks like.
RETURN
What comes back
The person’s answer, attached to the same task. You continue with that context. You do not re-derive it.
