recover-claude-code

recover-claude-code is a skill for Claude Code from fledgeling-co/fledgeling-plugins. It costs 239 tokens per session (3,897 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Claude Code recovery skill that reconnects interrupted sessions to their saved transcripts, workflow records, and subagent context. It is designed for sessions lost when a terminal or computer stops unexpectedly.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to recover genuinely stopped Claude Code sessions and continue the work they were handling without editing the original session records.
Why use it?
It prevents a replacement agent from repeating file review and decisions that the original session had already completed.

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

recover-claude-code 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (scripts/grade_evals.py, scripts/kill_orphans.py, scripts/open_tabs.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 — 281 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Recovering Claude Code after a crash

When a terminal process dies, the sessions inside it stop mid-sentence. Their transcripts, their workflow journals and their subagents' accumulated context all survive on disk — the work is not lost, it is unattached. This skill reattaches it.

The failure worth designing against is not losing the work. It is recovering it badly: starting a replacement agent on the same prompt with none of its predecessor's context, so it re-reads the same files, re-derives the same findings, and sometimes re-does work that is already committed. A recovery that cold-starts looks like it worked and quietly costs an hour.

Deliver what was asked, at the scope intended: recover the sessions that are actually dead and the work they were actually owed. Resist widening into fixing the underlying work.

Running as a Gemini model? Read gemini.md in this directory first, then follow this file with the overrides it names. It turns this skill's prohibitions — never resume a live session, never --fork-session, never edit the original journal — into a bound ledger with a readback command per row, and gives §4's 'every agent that was in flight' a denominator. Other models skip it.

python3 scripts/scan_crashed.py --minutes 60          # the default window
python3 scripts/scan_crashed.py --minutes 180 --json  # for the tab driver
python3 scripts/scan_crashed.py --project perch       # one project

Read-only. It reports, per session: whether it is live, its working directory, its peer name, whether it was cut mid-turn, and for each workflow run how many agent() calls returned against how many started, which agents were mid-tool, and where the run's script is on disk.

It separates three states, and only one of them is yours to touch:

State What it means What to do
LIVE, attached to a tty in ~/.claude/sessions/ under a running pid, in a terminal tab nothing — see §3
LIVE, no tty outlived the terminal that owned it stop it first — see §2
WRITING no registry entry but the transcript moved in the last two minutes wait, then rescan
STOPPED + interrupted work dead, with a run or an agent that was still going recover it
STOPPED + nothing interrupted idle when it died, or owed only long-abandoned runs leave it, or --include-idle

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.
