resume-last

resume-last is a skill for Claude Code from tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit. It costs 66 tokens per session (921 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session-continuation tool that collects the latest or a chosen chat, puts its full history into a seed file and the clipboard, and starts a new session from that context. It is intended for cases where normal resume cannot continue the chat.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to continue the last human session or resume a specific session by its identifier.
Why use it?
It avoids manually finding and copying an old conversation after a crash or when the session came from another machine.

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

resume-last 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 today.

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 — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/resume-last — pick up the previous chat in one move

The pain: a session crashed or got lost in the interface → you used to have to dig through the catalog, find it and copy it by hand. The native claude --resume does not work for a foreign or cross-machine session (since v2.1.9 Claude rejects a "foreign" session). So the reliable way is to start a NEW session pre-loaded with the full history of the old one.

What it does

  1. Finds your latest human session (service/robot ones are filtered out by the session_author classifier) — or takes a specific cliSessionId if you pass one.
  2. Builds the seed: the whole history + "continue from here", and puts it on the clipboard (plus a file _Dashboards/sessions-md/_continue/<cli>.seed.md).
  3. You open a New session and press Ctrl+V — the conversation continues.

How to run

The latest session on this machine:

python "$IMPORTS_ROOT/claude_sessions/continue_session.py" --last

A specific session (id from Sessions-Catalog.html or from the /resume-last header):

python "$IMPORTS_ROOT/claude_sessions/continue_session.py" <cliSessionId>

(On Macs: python3, and for a non-standard vault path set env CLAUDE_VAULT_ROOT=<...>.)

What to tell the operator

  • Say WHICH session was picked up (title + date + cli) and that the seed is already on the clipboard.
  • Give exactly one instruction: "Open a New session and press Ctrl+V — you will continue where you left off."
  • If clipboard: FAILED — say the seed is in the file <cli>.seed.md, open it and copy manually.
  • If the operator can already see the wanted session in Recents on the same machine — remind them the native claude --resume <cli> works there too (faster, no pasting).

Boundaries

  • READ-only against the vault/sessions: it only READS transcripts and writes the seed file + clipboard. It sends nothing and changes nothing in live data.
  • It is the twin of the SessionStart hook session_resume_hook (that one SHOWS the previous session at startup; this one PICKS IT UP with a single command).

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.

resume-last is a skill published in the GitHub repository tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit (6 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 921 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 2026-09-09.
