continuity

continuity is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from escapeboy/ai-prompts. It costs 125 tokens per session (1,342 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repo-local workflow for continuing coding work across sessions. It records the current work thread—such as unfinished tasks, failed commands, and decisions—in a visible .continuity/ folder.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to resume substantial feature work, refactors, or migrations, then finalize the session with evidence for the next person or agent.
Why use it?
It prevents developers or agents from spending the start of each session reconstructing what happened and what should happen next.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

continuity 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 14d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/continuity.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 — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Continuity — resume → work → finalize

The bottleneck between coding sessions is not memory volume, it is the lost operational thread: what is mid-flight, what already failed, what to do next. Big context, vector recall, and chat history all "remember more" yet still miss the one fact that matters (this command already failed). This skill keeps that thread in a small repo-local artifact and runs a lifecycle over it.

Core loop: resume (bounded start surface) → work → finalize (leave evidence). Without the lifecycle, memory is passive archaeology. With it, memory becomes execution.

When to Use This Skill (and When NOT to)

Use this skill for Use a simpler approach for
Multi-session work on one repo (feature, refactor, migration) A one-shot question or single-file edit — just answer
Picking up work where re-orientation would otherwise eat the first 10 min A repo you'll touch once and never return to
Recording why a decision/dead-end happened so it isn't repeated Facts already better held elsewhere (arch → Serena, cross-project → Harbormaster, durable policy → Svod)
Handing a repo to another agent or teammate Ephemeral session chatter — let auto-memory handle it

Start simple. Reach for this skill only when the work spans more than one session on the same repo. Do NOT create a .continuity/ for throwaway or single-shot tasks — that is the sixth-memory-store trap this skill is explicitly built to avoid.

The artifact

Repo-local .continuity/ (scaffold with the script below):

  • .continuity/STATE.md — the bounded resume surface AND the finalize target (one living, compacted doc — not an append-only journal). Portable → committable/shareable.
  • .continuity/local/ — gitignored, machine-specific operational scratch. Local-only.

Every fact carries an evidence tag (weight, not decoration): [observed] [validated] [user] — trust · [claimed] [contradicted] [unknown] — low trust. Full section spec, tag semantics, and a worked example: references/format.md.

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.

continuity is a skill published in the GitHub repository escapeboy/ai-prompts (91 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 125 tokens to every session and 1,342 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
