At a glance

Load plugin context from handoff files to resume work. An agent skill from glittercowboy/plugin-freedom-system.

  • Works in 4 steps: Locate Handoff File → Parse Context → Present Summary → …
  • Tasks that involve Session handoff
  • SKILL.md covers Orchestration Protocol, Handoff File Locations, Resume Workflow and Error Recovery, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Context Resume is an agent skill from glittercowboy/plugin-freedom-system. Load plugin context from handoff files to resume work. Invoked by /continue command, 'resume [PluginName]', 'continue working on [PluginName]', 'pick up where I left off with [PluginName]', or 'show me where [PluginName] is at'. Locates handoff across 2 locations, parses state, presents summary, and routes to appropriate continuation skill.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `references/README.md`, `references/backward-compatibility.md` and `references/context-parsing.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Session handoff. The repository describes itself as: AI-assisted JUCE plugin development system for MacOS by TÂCHES.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Session handoff

Example prompts

  • “resume [PluginName]”
  • “continue working on [PluginName]”
  • “pick up where I left off with [PluginName]”
  • “/context-resume”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Skill

Workflow steps

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

  1. Locate Handoff File
  2. Parse Context
  3. Present Summary
  4. Route to Continuation Skill

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e965cdd. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Bash
    • Skill

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Context Resume loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,088 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8.2k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Bash, Skill

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,088 words (~2,511 tokens).

“Purpose: Universal entry point for resuming plugin work from .continue-here.md handoff files. Handles workflow, ideation, mockup, and improvement resume scenarios.”
