claude-auto-resume: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

claude-auto-resume CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from terryso/claude-auto-resume. It costs 784 tokens per session, scanned B, original, MIT.

A guide for installing and using a shell script that resumes Claude command-line tasks after usage limits end. It also warns that the script can bypass safety prompts and run commands automatically.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install the resume script globally or run it directly when a Claude CLI task should continue after a limit is lifted.
Why use it?
It removes the need to watch for a usage limit and restart the task manually. The warning helps developers understand the security risk before enabling automatic commands.

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 B, and why

claude-auto-resume CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 10d 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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

This is a shell script utility called claude-auto-resume.sh that automatically resumes Claude CLI tasks after usage limits are lifted. The script monitors for Claude usage limits, waits for the restriction period to end, and then automatically continues the task.

⚠️ SECURITY NOTE: This script uses --dangerously-skip-permissions flag, which bypasses all safety prompts and allows Claude to execute commands automatically without user confirmation. Use only in trusted environments.

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.
