claude-vibe-squad: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/take-over-resume/SKILL.md

take-over-resume is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mtarcure/claude-vibe-squad. It costs 52 tokens per session (1,309 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for taking over work in a software repository after someone else or another process may have changed it. It compares the current files with a saved starting point, checks untracked files, and rebuilds the work plan from what is actually present.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when resuming a paused task, inheriting a branch, or continuing after automated edits to inspect changes, recover the current intent, and restore a reliable testing baseline.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of overwriting someone else's changes or relying on an outdated plan. Treating existing changes as intentional helps preserve work during handoffs.

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

take-over-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 11d 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.

Take-Over Resume

Resume work on a tree that a human may have changed while you were not looking. The failure mode is narrow and expensive: work resumes against a remembered state, the operator's manual fix is silently reverted or duplicated, and the conflict surfaces much later as a mysterious regression.

The controlling assumption is that the tree is the truth and your memory of it is a hypothesis.

When to use

  • Resuming a task that was paused for manual intervention.
  • Returning to a worktree after an operator hand-fix.
  • Any resume where time has passed and the tree was reachable by someone else.
  • A task that failed, was repaired by hand, and is being restarted.

Pausing cleanly

When work is being suspended for someone to intervene:

  1. Stop at a coherent point. Suspend between steps, not mid-write. A tree caught half way through a multi-file edit is one nobody can safely reason about.
  2. Record the resume anchor — the commit the work was built on, the tree involved, and the step that was about to run. This anchor is what makes the resume diff meaningful; without it, the diff has no baseline and the whole procedure degrades to guessing.
  3. State what is safe to touch, so intervention does not collide with in-flight state.
  4. Never remove a worktree with work still in flight. Removal kills the running work. Re-read in-flight status immediately before any cleanup, not from a status read earlier in the session.

Resuming

  1. Diff against the anchor before reading anything else. List the changed files, then read the actual diff. This is the first action on resume — not a check performed after planning, because a plan built on the remembered tree is already wrong.

    git diff <anchor> does not show untracked files, and a new file is the most common human edit. A file the human created is invisible to the diff alone, so the procedure would miss precisely the change that triggered it. Enumerate untracked paths separately and read them in full:

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.
