resume

resume is a command for Claude Code from HigorAlves/orc. It costs 36 tokens per session (1,406 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for continuing an interrupted multi-step coding session from its saved checkpoint. A checkpoint is recorded progress showing which phases are complete and which remain.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to resume a session by its ID or branch, continue at the next pending phase, optionally start at a specified phase, or resume work for one repository in a multi-repository workspace.
Why use it?
It avoids repeating completed work after an overnight pause, crash, or change of priority.

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

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 — 86 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/orc:resume

Pick up where an earlier orc command left off. Required for any work that pauses overnight, gets interrupted by another priority, or crashes mid-pipeline.

Arguments

  • <session-id-or-branch> — optional. If provided, resume that session directly. Accepts either the sessionId from .orc/orc.json (list via orc-state sessions) or a branch name (sanitized or not); schema per orc:state-protocol.
  • --phase <n> — optional. Skip to a specific phase rather than the next pending one. Use sparingly.
  • --repo <name> — workspace mode only. Drill into a specific repo's slice of a workspace session (e.g. --repo api resumes only the api side of a cross-repo flow). Phase A scope: this command resumes one repo at a time; broadcast resume across all repos arrives in Phase C.

Workflow

Phase 1 — Detect context + locate the registry

The context banner is injected below (ORC_* vars are exported for any Bash you run — do not re-run detection):

!orc-workspace-detect --banner

Pick the registry to read from the banner's context:

  • repo — the registry is $ORC_STATE_DIR/orc.json (<repoRoot>/.orc/orc.json). Standard single-repo behavior.
  • repo and <repoRoot>/.orc/<branch>/workspace-link.json exists — this repo is a workspace member. Read workspaceRoot from the link file, resolve it against $ORC_REPO_ROOT, and use <workspaceRoot>/.orc/orc.json as the registry. Filter sessions to those with repos containing this repo's name.
  • workspace — the registry is $ORC_STATE_DIR/orc.json (<workspaceRoot>/.orc/orc.json). Workspace sessions have scope: "workspace" and a repos array.
  • loose — surface a [!WARNING] ⚠️ Caution callout (Cwd is neither a git repo nor a workspace parent — nothing to resume.) and stop.

If the chosen registry is missing or has no in_progress sessions, tell the user and stop.

Phase 2 — Choose a session (if not specified)

If a session ID/branch wasn't passed: orc-state sessions --status in_progress renders one line per session — show the list via AskUserQuestion. If only one is active, skip the picker and use it.

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.
