Skills that define `allowed-tools` grant Claude access to those tools without per-use approval when the skill is active. Your [permission settings](/en/iam) still govern baseline approval behavior for all other tools. Built-in commands like `/compact` and `/init` are not available through the Skill tool.

254### Rewind with checkpoints
255
256The VS Code extension supports checkpoints, which track Claude's file edits and let you rewind to a previous state. Hover over any message to reveal the rewind button, then choose from three options:
257
258* **Fork conversation from here**: start a new conversation branch from this message while keeping all code changes intact
259* **Rewind code to here**: revert file changes back to this point in the conversation while keeping the full conversation history
260* **Fork conversation and rewind code**: start a new conversation branch and revert file changes to this point
261
262For full details on how checkpoints work and their limitations, see [Checkpointing](/en/checkpointing).
