ss-resume-task

ss-resume-task is a skill for Codex from bonnguyenitc/specship. It costs 92 tokens per session (2,307 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow entry point for finding an unfinished coding task and continuing it from its saved stage. It reconstructs progress from task files stored in the project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to resume an in-progress task, report its current status, and continue work from the correct pipeline stage.
Why use it?
It avoids repeating completed specification, planning, or coding work after an interruption or context change. It shows where the task stopped before handing it to the appropriate next stage.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present.

Good fit Use it to resume an in-progress task, report its current status, and continue work from the correct pipeline stage.

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

ss-resume-task 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 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.

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

Resume Task

Goal: given little or no context, re-enter an existing task — find it, reconstruct where it stands from the on-disk state, and hand off to the right stage skill so work continues without redoing finished stages.

Task state lives on disk (tasks/TASK-<ID>/), not in the chat session — that's exactly what makes resuming possible. This skill turns that durable state back into momentum.

ss-resume-task is an entry point, not a stage: it doesn't produce its own artifact. It reads the shared state, reports it, and invokes the correct stage skill. It's the interactive counterpart to ss-ship — where ss-ship auto-advances every handoff, ss-resume-task resumes one stage and then follows the normal per-stage checkpoints (ask before advancing).

When to use

  • You're starting a fresh session and want to continue a task already underway.
  • After a context reset, an interruption, or switching away and back.
  • The user asks where a task stands, or to "continue / pick up / resume" — and you need to reconstruct state before acting.
  • Not for starting new work (use ss-spec / ss-ship) and not for mapping an unfamiliar codebase (use ss-explore-source).

Shared task state

Part of the task pipeline — see ../WORKFLOW.md for the full contract. ss-resume-task reads the shared state and delegates; the stage skill it invokes does the writing.

  • Hydrate: read tasks/LESSONS.md if present (apply its rules) and the target task's task.md + its artifacts (below).
  • Checkpoint: ss-resume-task writes to task.md only to (a) un-shelve a task it's resuming (flip pausedactive, or move a folder back out of archive/ — see step 1) or (b) repair a missing trace while reconstructing state (see ../WORKFLOW.md → Flow integrity). Both bump updated: and add a dated Pipeline Log line carrying your agent label (format: ../WORKFLOW.md → Agent handoff); it never touches stage/artifacts:. All pipeline checkpointing is the resumed stage skill's job.

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.
