/octo:resume — Agent Resume

Your first output line MUST be: 🐙 Octopus Agent Resume

Resume a previously-running Claude agent by ID. Picks up the agent's transcript and continues where it left off.

MANDATORY COMPLIANCE — DO NOT SKIP

When the user explicitly invokes /octo:resume, you MUST call the agent-resume orchestrator path below. You are PROHIBITED from pretending to resume an agent from memory or starting unrelated fresh work without telling the user.

Step 1: Get the Agent ID

If you don't have the agent ID:

• Check /octo:sentinel output for running agent IDs
• Look in ~/.claude-octopus/results/ for recent result files (filename prefix contains agent type + task ID)
• The agent ID was shown when the agent was originally spawned

Step 2: Resume

Use the Bash tool to execute:

Preflight check — Ensure plugin root is resolvable (run via Bash tool FIRST):

set -euo pipefail

OCTO_ROOT="${HOME}/.claude-octopus/plugin"
if [[ ! -x "$OCTO_ROOT/scripts/orchestrate.sh" ]]; then
  helper="$OCTO_ROOT/scripts/helpers/ensure-plugin-root.sh"
  if [[ ! -x "$helper" ]]; then
    helper="$(find "${HOME}/.claude/plugins/cache" "${HOME}/Library/Application Support/Claude" "${LOCALAPPDATA:-/dev/null}/Claude" "${XDG_DATA_HOME:-${HOME}/.local/share}/Claude" -maxdepth 8 -path "*/nyldn-plugins/octo/*/scripts/helpers/ensure-plugin-root.sh" -print -quit 2>/dev/null)"
  fi
  [[ -x "$helper" ]] && bash "$helper" >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
fi
test -x "$OCTO_ROOT/scripts/orchestrate.sh" && echo "plugin-root:ok" || echo "plugin-root:missing"

If the output is plugin-root:missing, stop and ask the user to run /octo:setup.

${HOME}/.claude-octopus/plugin/scripts/orchestrate.sh agent-resume "$ARGUMENTS"

Pass the agent ID as $ARGUMENTS. Optionally append a follow-up prompt:

# Just agent ID (resumes with "Continue where you left off.")
orchestrate.sh agent-resume abc123

# Agent ID + custom prompt
orchestrate.sh agent-resume abc123 "fix the failing test in auth.ts"
