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-session 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 10d 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

/resume-session — pick up where you left off

Goal: restore working context cheaply, without re-exploring.

Do this

  1. Read the STATE spine first.claude/STATE.md (schema: docs/state-and-artifacts.md). Its frontmatter gives the machine-navigable position in one read: phase, status, slug, next_skill. If a slug is set, glance at .claude/planning/<slug>/ (SPEC.md / PLAN.md / VERIFICATION.md) for the current artifacts. If STATE.md is absent, skip to the session file — the spine is optional.
  2. Find the latest session narrative for the human story:
    • .claude/sessions/ in the repo, else ~/.claude/harness-claude/sessions/.
    • Pick the most recent by date; offer the user the last few if several exist.
  3. Read it and restate: the objective, what's verified-working, what failed (avoid repeating those dead ends), and the concrete next steps.
  4. Re-orient against current reality: confirm the repo state still matches (branch, key files). If STATE.md and the session narrative disagree (e.g. next_skill says /harness-claude:implement but the narrative describes shipping), flag the drift and reconcile from the repo — do not trust either blindly.
  5. Propose the immediate next action (prefer STATE's next_skill, cross-checked against the narrative's "remaining"), and confirm with the user.

Note

The SessionStart hook already surfaces STATE's next_skill (or a pointer to the latest session file) automatically; this skill is the full, deliberate restore. Treat every file as what was true when written — verify before trusting specifics (files/flags may have changed).

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.
