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-from-earlier 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.

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

Resume From Earlier

Read and summarize project handoff markdown so work can resume quickly without losing context.

This is a separate skill folder from resume-continuation so assistants that only load skills by directory name (not a shared manifest) still pick up the slash-style command /resume-from-earlier. The workflow is identical to resume-continuation.

Files

File Typical source
continuation.md Full structured handoff (continue-later skill)
continuation-fast.md Raw git dump (+ optional transcript excerpts) from continue-later-fast

Overview

Use this skill when the user says:

  • /resume-from-earlier (manual attach / slash command)
  • "resume from earlier"
  • "resume from continuation"
  • "what was I working on?"
  • "continue from last session"

Natural-language variants without a slash are also covered by the resume-continuation skill; either skill may run for the same request.

Workflow

  1. Resolve which file(s) to read (project root):
    • If continuation.md exists → treat it as the primary handoff (structured sections).
    • Else if continuation-fast.md exists → read it (often "## Raw Context Dump" / "## Recent user messages").
    • If both exist → read continuation.md first for tasks/state/decisions/gotchas; then skim continuation-fast.md only when the user asks for the latest git snapshot, raw diff stats, or recent user prompts duplicated there—or when structured sections are missing.
    • If neither exists → say so and ask whether to create one (continue-later or continue-later-fast).
  2. Extract only what the user asked for.
  3. Prefer these sections when present (mostly in structured continuation.md):
    • ## Pending Tasks for what to do next
    • ## Current State for working vs broken areas
    • ## Key Technical Decisions to avoid re-litigating choices
    • ## Gotchas & Traps to avoid repeated mistakes
    • ## How to Build & Run to restart quickly
      From continuation-fast.md, surface ## Raw Context Dump / ### Recent user messages when relevant.
  4. Return a concise, actionable resume summary.

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.
