pause

pause is a skill for Claude Code from Everyone-Needs-A-Copilot/claude-copilot. It costs 31 tokens per session (181 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A pause-and-resume workflow for unfinished coding work. It records the current task state, the reason for pausing, and the next action so work can continue later.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to mark active work as paused when supported, save a short resume note, and preserve related project memory.
Why use it?
It prevents context from being lost when you switch tasks or end a session.

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

pause 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Pause

Preserve current work so it can be resumed later.

Workflow

  1. Find in-progress work with tc task list --status in_progress --json.
  2. Store a compact pause work product on each active task with the reason, current state, and next action.
  3. Update task status to paused only if the local tc version supports that status; otherwise store the pause work product and leave the status unchanged.
  4. Store memory with cc memory store --type context "Paused work: ..." when cc is configured.
  5. Return a compact resume instruction.

Safety

Do not modify files, branches, worktrees, or task data destructively.

Changes

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.
