board-resume

board-resume is a command for Claude Code from GhostlyGawd/engineering-board. It costs 21 tokens per session (882 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that turns passive board listening back on after it was paused. It restores the session mode that existed before pausing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a quiet planning or drafting period when you want the next session stop to capture findings again.
Why use it?
It lets you continue automatic finding capture without manually reconstructing the previous session state.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: argument-hint in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions subagents.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

board-resume scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/board-resume: re-enable passive listening

Resume the engineering-board passive listener after a /board-pause. Restores the prior mode value (or null if there was none) and clears the paused_at timestamp. The next Stop-hook turn will resume invoking the finding-extractor.

What to do

Step 1: Resolve state file

State file: ${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.engineering-board/session-mode.json

Step 2: Run the mode-transition guard

Delegate the refusal-matrix decision to the deterministic guard (single source of truth for ARCHITECTURE.md §11.5):

bash "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/hooks/scripts/board-mode-guard.sh" resumed

Inspect the exit code:

  • 0 (ALLOW): parse the guard's stdout. It emits key=value lines including RESTORE_MODE=<pm|worker|null> and RESTORE_DISCIPLINE=<tdd|review|validate|null>. Use these in Step 4 below. Then continue to Step 3.
  • 2 (NOOP): print the guard's stdout verbatim and stop. The canonical message for this branch is Engineering board: not currently paused. No action taken. (Fires when no state file exists OR mode is anything other than "paused".)

/board-resume has no REFUSE branch: every state either ALLOWs (paused) or NOOPs (not paused).

Step 3: Determine current session_id

Read ${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.engineering-board/last-stop-stdin.json if it exists and extract the session_id field. If that file does not exist or has no session_id, use an empty string "".

Step 4: Rewrite the state file

Rewrite session-mode.json with content:

{
  "mode": "<RESTORE_MODE from the guard's stdout; JSON null if null>",
  "discipline": "<RESTORE_DISCIPLINE from the guard's stdout; only present when RESTORE_MODE == 'worker'; JSON null otherwise>",
  "previous_mode": null,
  "previous_discipline": null,
  "paused_at": null,
  "session_id": "<value from step 3>"
}

Field rules:

  • If RESTORE_MODE == null: write the literal JSON null (not the string "null") for mode, and JSON null for discipline.
  • If RESTORE_MODE == "pm": write "mode": "pm", "discipline": null.
  • If RESTORE_MODE == "worker": write "mode": "worker", "discipline": "<RESTORE_DISCIPLINE>". The discipline MUST match the one captured at /board-pause time so the (mode, discipline) round-trip is bit-exact per ARCHITECTURE.md §11.5.
  • previous_mode and previous_discipline reset to JSON null: the pause/resume cycle has completed.
  • paused_at resets to JSON null.
  • session_id is a JSON string (possibly empty).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

board-resume is a command published in the GitHub repository GhostlyGawd/engineering-board (0 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 882 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
