resume

resume is a skill for Claude Code from dryvist/claude-code-plugins. It costs 56 tokens per session (1,212 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for continuing unfinished coding work in a new session by checking the current files, Git repository, GitHub data, plan, and task list. Git records code changes and branches; GitHub hosts shared repositories and pull requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when returning to an interrupted task, checking whether changes were committed or merged, and confirming which planned items still need work.
Why use it?
It prevents repeating work that is already finished or relying on notes that no longer match the repository.

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

resume 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 111 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Resume

Continue unfinished work in a session that has no memory of how it got here. The core rule: trust live state, never prose. A resume prompt, a plan file, or a prior summary describes what was true. Before acting, verify what is true.

This exists because resuming cold is common and easy to get wrong: the failure mode is redoing work that already shipped, or acting on a claim that has since gone stale.

State warning: everything below drifts. A PR called "open" in the prompt may be merged; a plan item marked [ ] may be done. Re-derive all of it now.

Step 1: Locate the work

  • Read the plan file. The resume prompt should name it (<HOME>/.claude/plans/<slug>.md); if not, find the most recent under <HOME>/.claude/plans/.
  • TaskList — the pending/in-progress items.
  • The directory the work lives in — the prompt's cd block. Only if that is missing and git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree succeeds, widen the search with git worktree list.

Step 2: Re-derive live state (never trust the prompt's claims)

For every claim the prompt or plan makes, run the check that confirms it. Pick the cheapest evidence source that can actually falsify the claim:

Evidence source Confirms
The file itself "file Y still needs Z" — read it; the change may already be there
Test or build output "it works" / "it's broken" — run it
TaskList and the plan checkbox a claim, never proof — treat as the thing to verify, not the verification
Filesystem "the artifact was generated", "the config exists"
Version control (repository only) "branch X is pushed", "PR #N is open", "already merged"

The version-control row is gated:

git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree >/dev/null 2>&1

When it succeeds, add gh pr view <N> --json state,mergedAt (a PR called open may be merged), git status -sb, and gh pr list --state merged to catch work already shipped.

To find commits not yet on the default branch, run this as one block — the resolution and its use must share a shell (see ARCHITECTURE.md):

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.
