session-continue

A session-resuming command that retrieves the latest handoff for a workstream and briefly checks the repository’s recent Git state. A handoff is a saved note describing where earlier work stopped.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find the previous work summary, see the next suggested step, and check the current branch and recent changes.
Why use it?
It avoids repeating the full startup process when you already know which task you are continuing.

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

session-continue 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.

What it actually says

/session-continue — Quick Continue

Pick up a workstream without a full cold start. For cases when you know what you're doing.


Step 1: Find handoff

MEM="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/memory.js"
PROJ_KEY=$(pwd | tr '/.' '-' | sed 's/^-//')
MEM_DIR="$HOME/.claude/projects/-${PROJ_KEY}/memory"
node "$MEM" --dir="$MEM_DIR" handoff "${1:-}"

Falls back to global handoff if no per-workstream file exists. Prints NO_HANDOFF when neither found.

If no handoff exists → suggest /session-start instead.


Step 2: Git status (silently)

git status --short
git log --oneline -3
git branch --show-current

If there are uncommitted changes — show in one line. If the tree is clean — don't mention it.


Step 3: Show summary

Format (10 lines max):

## Continuing: {workstream}

**Where we left off:** {from handoff — last action}
**What's next:** {from handoff — next step}
**Branch:** {branch} {uncommitted count if any}

Shall we begin?

Don't show task plan, focus candidates, model recommendations — that's for /session-start.


Step 4: Load context on demand

MUST wait for explicit user confirmation ("yes", "go", a number, or similar) before proceeding. Do NOT auto-continue after showing the summary.

If the user confirmed — load only what's needed for the next step:

  • The file that was last edited
  • Task plan if available
  • Last 3 feedback entries via node $MEM search

Do NOT load the entire memory — only what's relevant.


Step 5: Mark

node $MEM_DIR/memory.js note "SESSION_CONTINUE branch:$(git branch --show-current) workstream:{name}"

Rules

  • Maximum speed — 10 lines of output, then get to work
  • Don't ask about the model, don't show candidates — the user already knows
  • If handoff is older than 7 days — warn: "Handoff from {date}, context may be stale. /session-start for a full overview?"
  • If no argument is passed — take the workstream from the latest handoff
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.

session-continue is a skill published in the GitHub repository IlyaGorsky/memory-toolkit (13 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 557 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
