suspend

suspend is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lantisprime/claude-sdlc. It costs 62 tokens per session (1,048 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow command for temporarily pausing the project’s software-development rules and checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when the enforced development process needs to be disabled, after checking that the workflow is active and reviewing unfinished plans and approvals.
Why use it?
It records why the pause happened and preserves the current governance state, so the workflow can be resumed with its earlier information intact.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

Part of the sdlc-plugin plugin — 19 skills, 16 commands, 10 agents, 4 hooks shipped together

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

suspend 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 5d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Suspend — Pause SDLC Enforcement

Snapshot governance state, log the suspension, switch .enabled.suspended. Six steps in order. No step may be skipped.

Step 1 — Guard: workflow must be enabled

Check for .claude/sdlc/.enabled.

If absent:

[SDLC] Workflow is not enabled — nothing to suspend.
Run /start to enable the workflow first.

Stop. Do not proceed.

Step 2 — Require a suspension reason

Prompt:

Reason for suspension (required): _

Hard-block if the response is empty, whitespace-only, or a single character. Re-prompt once:

A reason is required to log the suspension. Please enter a brief description: _

If the second response is also empty: print [SDLC] Suspend aborted — reason is required for audit log. and stop. Do not proceed without a reason.

Step 3 — Show active plans and unsigned gates

Read every .md file in .claude/sdlc/plans/ (exclude versioned files matching *.v[0-9]*.md). For each, check its corresponding gate file in .claude/sdlc/gates/ for unsigned status (gate file absent or missing **Signed at:** line).

Display:

Active plans:
  REQ-001  add-login-page  [build gate unsigned]
  REQ-000  scope-setup     [signed — all phases complete]

Warning: REQ-001 has an unsigned build gate.
Suspending will pause enforcement. The gate remains open until you re-enable and complete it.
Proceed? [Y/n]

If no active plans exist, omit the plan list and just show:

No active plans found.
Proceed with suspension? [Y/n]

If the user enters n or N: print [SDLC] Suspend aborted. and stop.

Step 4 — Run suspend-snapshot.sh

Call hooks/suspend-snapshot.sh suspend (relative to the plugin root, or absolute if $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT is set).

The script handles openssl availability, the gitignore check for config/tools.local.json, and manifest encryption. If the script exits non-zero or outputs an ERROR line, surface the error to the user and stop — do not rename the marker.

If the script prints Suspend aborted. Workflow remains enabled. (the openssl absent + user declined path), echo that message and stop.

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.

suspend is a skill published in the GitHub repository lantisprime/claude-sdlc (3 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 1,048 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.
