plan:resume

A procedure for continuing an interrupted implementation plan in a new session by finding and checking its latest saved checkpoint.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to locate the newest project checkpoint, verify it against the current files, report differences, and continue from the next planned action.
Why use it?
It helps the agent recover the previous work while detecting changes that make the old plan unreliable.

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

plan:resume 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 2d 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 — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Resuming an interrupted plan

$KB is your knowledge-base root: a directory outside the working repo holding <project>/specs/, <project>/plans/ and <project>/checkpoints/. Point at it from your CLAUDE.md. Keeping these out of the repo keeps process artifacts from leaking into it, and the knowledge survives clones, branches and machines.

1. Find the checkpoint

Look in $KB/<project>/checkpoints/, where <project> is the repo's folder name.

Take the newest file by date in the filename. If several slugs are in play, list them with their dates and ask the user which. If there is no checkpoints directory, this is not a resume - use /plan:run.

Read the checkpoint first. Its header names the plan and spec - read those next, then the rest of its "Read first" list, in the order it names them. Honour its staleness warnings: if it says a file is not to be trusted, do not read it for facts.

If the header is missing (a checkpoint written before this was required, or by hand), find the plan yourself: strip the date from the checkpoint filename and match the remaining slug against $KB/<project>/plans/. The dates will not match - the plan is dated when it was written, the checkpoint when work stopped.

2. Verify before trusting it

The checkpoint describes the tree as it was when work stopped. Confirm it still holds before acting on it. Things move: the user may have committed, merged, reverted, or reboot may have lost something.

Check, at minimum:

  • git log --oneline and git status against the commits and branch the checkpoint claims.
  • The test suite against the pass/fail count it claims.
  • Whether the containers, databases, or services it describes are actually in the state it describes.

This is cheap and it is the whole point of the checkpoint being trustworthy.

3. Report the delta

Tell the user, in a few lines:

  • What the checkpoint claimed.
  • What is actually true now.
  • Whether the stated next action is still the right one.

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.

plan:resume is a skill published in the GitHub repository franzos/claude-plugins (1 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 684 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
