What it does

Continue Claude Code Work is an agent skill from daymade/claude-code-skills. Continues interrupted Claude Code work after local history is read and reconciled — reconstructs the original outcome, unfulfilled requests, and the next action. Use when given a Claude Code Session ID, asked to pick up prior Claude work, told a run was interrupted or compacted, or asked to take over without claude --resume. Not for Codex sessions (use continue-codex-work).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Professional Claude Code skills marketplace featuring production-ready skills for enhanced development workflows. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Given a Claude Code Session ID
  • Asked to pick up prior Claude work
  • Told a run was interrupted
  • Asked to take over without claude --resume

Example prompts

  • “Use the continue-claude-code-work skill to continue interrupted Claude Code work after local history is read and reconciled — reconstructs the…”
  • “/continue-claude-code-work”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Obtain a verified read receipt
  2. Rebuild the continuation contract
  3. Reconcile with current reality
  4. Execute the business task
  5. Report against the contract

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3c268d6. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • claude

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Continue Claude Code Work loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 101 tokens; SKILL.md has 516 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~101
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Continue Claude Code Work

Continue means execute the still-unfinished business task. It does not mean summarize the transcript, perfect the history tool, or start a new experiment.

Step 1: Obtain a verified read receipt

Invoke daymade-claude-code:read-claude-code-history for the exact Session. Ask that Skill for a chronological evidence briefing, not separate “last user” and “last assistant” buckets. If the Session ID is unknown, use its search/inventory route first.

Do not act until the receipt states:

  • exact Session ID and project;
  • sources and time coverage;
  • compaction and raw-chronology boundaries;
  • every retained human request, including queued prompts;
  • end reason, unresolved calls, files touched, and explicit gaps.

If a clipped section could contain the objective or a correction, re-read it with the reader's full mode. If identity, ancestry, or authorship is unresolved, stop; continuing from a guessed Session is worse than asking for the missing evidence.

Step 2: Rebuild the continuation contract

Before the first project-changing tool call, write this compact internal contract from evidence. Do not invent a value to fill a blank.

FieldEvidence required
Original business outcomeEarliest still-governing human request, not a later implementation detail
Current explicit requestLatest human request that is not merely “继续”
Already completedIndependent current-state verification, not the old Agent's claim
Still unfulfilledRequested result with no completion evidence
User corrections / do-not-repeatHuman messages that rejected a route, output, or assumption
Proven assets and successful routesExisting code, docs, Skills, outputs, or commands that previously worked
Next direct actionOne action whose success visibly reduces the unfulfilled business result

When the latest message is only “继续,” inherit the objective from the verified chronology. Never treat the cue itself as the specification.

Step 3: Reconcile with current reality

  1. Read the target project's current AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md and authoritative project state; historical instructions may be stale.
  2. Confirm the current cwd, branch, working tree, and relevant files.
  3. Verify whether prior writes, commits, external operations, or background jobs actually landed. A transcript records attempts as well as successes.
  4. Retrieve the proven asset or prior successful path before authoring a replacement.
  5. If another process may still complete the same transiently failed work, verify its current result before duplicating it.

Step 4: Execute the business task

Take the next direct action from the contract and verify its result. Skill edits, review expansion, documentation systems, and infrastructure cleanup remain subordinate unless the user explicitly made one of them the business outcome or they are strictly required to unblock it.

Before changing direction, ask mechanically: “If this succeeds, which original unfulfilled result becomes smaller?” If the answer is none, record it as a later proposal and return to the task.

Do not run claude --resume or claude --continue. Do not overwrite unrelated working-tree changes.

Step 5: Report against the contract

  • Recovered goal: Session and original business outcome.
  • Executed: actions and independent verification.
  • Now complete: contract rows that are actually closed.
  • Remaining: unfulfilled rows and exact blockers.
  • Not repeated: prior rejected routes deliberately avoided when relevant.

Do not say “continued successfully” when only context extraction or a process step completed; the business result is the completion unit.
