# Review Checkpoints in CLI

> Use checkpoint commands to list, explain, summarize, and inspect checkpoints locally.

Use the Entire CLI when you want to review from a terminal, explain a checkpoint or commit, inspect transcript output, or export checkpoint data.

## Find a checkpoint

List checkpoints on the current branch:

```bash theme={null}
entire checkpoint list
```

If you need to find the checkpoint first, search by phrase, meaning, or context:

```bash theme={null}
entire checkpoint search "what changed"
```

## Explain a checkpoint or commit

Explain a checkpoint by ID:

```bash theme={null}
entire checkpoint explain CHECKPOINT_ID
```

You can also explain the commit linked to a checkpoint:

```bash theme={null}
entire checkpoint explain COMMIT_SHA
```

## Generate a summary

Generate an AI summary for the checkpoint:

```bash theme={null}
entire checkpoint explain CHECKPOINT_ID --generate
```

The `--generate` flag requires the configured provider CLI to be installed and authenticated.
