- **Usage:** `/chat save <tag>`
+ - **Details on Checkpoint Location:** The default locations for saved chat checkpoints are:
+ - Linux/macOS: `~/.config/google-generative-ai/checkpoints/`
+ - Windows: `C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Roaming\google-generative-ai\checkpoints\`
+ - When you run `/chat list`, the CLI only scans these specific directories to find available checkpoints.

- **`resume`**
- **Description:** Resumes a conversation from a previous save.
- **Usage:** `/chat resume <tag>`
