A recovery workflow for restoring coding work that stopped because of an error, lost connection, expired login, interruption, or similar external problem. It treats the command as a continuation of the existing work rather than a summary.

Use it to recover unfinished agent tasks, restore stopped workers and workflows, and continue from the saved plan after a failure.

It prevents interrupted work from being mistakenly treated as finished or restarted from the wrong point.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00305	$0.02948
Opus 5.5	$0.00122	$0.01179
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00061	$0.00590
Haiku 4.5	$0.00030	$0.00295

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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/resume_corpus_stats.py, scripts/resume_scan.py, tests/test_resume_corpus_stats.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

resume — continue the arc, do not conclude it

resume is a restoration command, not a summarization command.

Why this skill exists

The table below is regenerated by scripts/resume_corpus_stats.py, which ships with the skill. Run it; do not trust the numbers here on their own.

python3 "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/resume_corpus_stats.py"

Over this author's transcript corpus it reported 91 resume-class turns (59 a bare resume, across 10 distinct surface forms):


Preceded by an API error	48	53%
Preceded by a user interrupt	7	8%
Had a worker in flight when the session died	22	24%
Re-spawned a worker afterwards	15	16%
Queried the workers that were already running	2	2%
Produced no tool calls at all — a text-only wrap-up	37	41%
Acknowledged a death and did not restore it	9	vs 6 restored
`resume` typed again — the first one didn't take	16	18%

Your corpus will differ, and the absolute counts drift upward as it grows. The ratios are what the argument rests on.

The dominant failure is not that the agent forgets what it was doing. It is that it treats resume as "deliver what survived". Transcripts say it in the agent's own words — "three follow-on sub-agents died on the session limit; I'll note the gap" — while those agents' complete transcripts sat on disk, unread.

The mechanisms you will otherwise get wrong

These are properties of the harness, checkable by reading a transcript. Each was reached by getting it wrong first.

1. A dead worker leaves no orphaned tool call. The intuitive detector — a tool_use with no tool_result — finds nothing, because workers launch asynchronously: the spawn's result attests to launching, never finishing, and completion arrives later as a separate <task-notification>. A spawn whose id never appears in a completion is what died.

2. Completion notices arrive on more than one record shape — queue-operation, attachment and user. Reading only one of them reports finished workers as dead.

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.

resume is a skill published in the GitHub repository broomva/skills (5 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 305 tokens to every session and 2,948 once invoked, about $0.0012 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
