resume

resume is a command for coding agents from thatsuperdev/llm-handoff. It costs 11 tokens per session (496 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that reads handover.md, checks the current repository against it, and briefs the new session on the project state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Useful for resuming work after switching language models, coding tools, or sessions.
Why use it?
It helps detect when the saved notes no longer match the branch, commits, or files currently present before more changes are made.

Command

Part of the llm-handoff plugin — 2 commands, 1 hook shipped together

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add commands/thatsuperdev/llm-handoff/resume
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/thatsuperdev/llm-handoff

Or install llm-handoff, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 2 commands, 1 hook.

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 3d 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.

What it actually says

You are starting a new session. A handover.md was left by the previous session to brief you. Load it and prepare to continue.

Steps

1. Read the handover

Read handover.md from the project root (or git rev-parse --show-toplevel).

If it does not exist, tell the user:

No handover.md found in this directory. Either no handover was created, or you may
need to check a different directory. Run /llm-handoff:create in the previous session
before switching to this one.

2. Verify repository state

Run:

git status --short
git log --oneline -5

Compare the output to the Repository state section in handover.md.

If anything conflicts (different branch, unexpected uncommitted files, commits that don't match), report it:

Warning: Current state differs from handover.md.
- Expected branch: <from handover>  Got: <actual>
- Expected last commit: <from handover>  Got: <actual>

Investigate before proceeding — the handover may be stale or from a different worktree.

3. Brief the user

Report in this exact structure:

Handover loaded.

Previous LLM:  <model and tool from handover>
Generated:     <timestamp>

Goal:          <session goal>

Completed:
  - <item>
  - <item>

In progress:
  <what was being worked on>

Ready to continue with:
  → Step 1: <first next step title>
     File: <path>
     Action: <what to do>
     Verify: <how to confirm>

Continue? (I'll wait for your go-ahead before making any changes.)

4. Wait for confirmation

Do not make any changes until the user confirms. If the user says "yes" or "go", begin with Next steps item 1 exactly as described in the handover.

5. After completing each step

Check it off in your working context (you do not need to edit handover.md). When all next steps are complete, ask the user if they want to update or remove handover.md.

Changes

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.
