resuming

resuming is a skill for Claude Code from yimwoo/hotl-plugin. It costs 27 tokens per session (2,080 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A resume procedure for interrupted workflow runs that loads saved state, checks whether the last step succeeded, and then continues.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps restart HOTL workflow runs using their saved sidecar state, reconcile native runs, verify the interrupted step, and continue safely.
Why use it?
It avoids repeating an action after a crash and avoids assuming a step completed merely because a host session ended normally.

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

resuming 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 7d 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.

HOTL Resume

Overview

Resume a previously interrupted workflow run. HOTL persists execution state in a sidecar file (.hotl/state/<run-id>.json). On resume, it uses a verify-first strategy to determine whether the interrupted step already succeeded before continuing.

For governed native runs, call hotl-rt reconcile <run-id> (or the selected driver's equivalent) before resuming. Treat its result as a read-only recommendation and retain this skill's verify-first rules; never infer completion from a host session status.

Announce: "Looking for interrupted HOTL runs..."

Sidecar State

Execution state is persisted at .hotl/state/<run-id>.json. This is the authoritative source of truth — workflow checkboxes are a human-visible mirror that may drift after a crash.

Run ID Format

<slug>-<YYYYMMDDTHHMMSSZ>-<12-hex-nonce> (e.g., add-auth-20260320T212315Z-a1b2c3d4e5f6). The semantic workflow slug and UTC start time keep the identifier readable; operating-system entropy keeps simultaneous runs unique across independent execution roots. Legacy timestamp-only run IDs remain readable.

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.

resuming is a skill published in the GitHub repository yimwoo/hotl-plugin (26 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 2,080 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.
