What it does
Agent Session Resume is an agent skill from hacktivist123/agent-session-resume. Use when continuing, resuming, locating, reading, inspecting, auditing, or reviewing a previous AI coding-agent session, handoff transcript, chat log, exported conversation, saved artifact set, or session summary, on any platform (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, OpenCode) or across several platforms in one ask, such as reviewing threads across Claude and Codex.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 16 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/antigravity.md` and `references/claude-code.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Session handoff. The repository describes itself as: Cross-agent session resume skill for Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, and OpenCode. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 76b0256. 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
Ships 4 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
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
Agent Session Resume loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~17k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 98 tokens; SKILL.md has 692 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

- description
- Use when continuing, resuming, locating, reading, inspecting, auditing, or reviewing a previous AI coding-agent session, handoff transcript, chat log, exported conversation, saved artifact set, or session summary, on any platform (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, OpenCode) or across several platforms in one ask, such as reviewing threads across Claude and Codex.
Agent Session Resume
Purpose
Resume or audit prior coding-agent work with continuity. Reconstruct what happened before acting, then continue from the real stopping point.
Core Workflow
Run a provenance self-check.
- Run
python3 skills/agent-session-resume/scripts/skill-provenance.pywhen available. - Otherwise compare the loaded SKILL.md path and size against the known install paths under
$HOME/.claudeand${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}. - Report staleness on the
Loaded skillline of the resume report. Details:references/evidence-and-provenance.md.
- Run
Identify the source. If the user names a platform, read the matching file in
references/; if the ask spans platforms, readreferences/cross-platform.md. Otherwise inspect the workspace for session folders, exports, summaries, and artifacts. When a session title is given, prefer exact or fuzzy title matches over recency.Locate the transcript or best substitute. Prefer full transcripts over summaries, workspace-local session data over global history, and explicit user-provided paths over discovered paths.
Read the full available session record before acting. For large transcripts, inventory files, event types, and timestamps first, then read the evidence-bearing slices until the record is accounted for. Full coverage means no relevant evidence skipped; bounded searches and slices are fine for giant records, but say so and name the file/event. Do not edit files or repeat prior work before this pass is complete.
Record loaded-skill provenance in the report: path and source/version marker, or
unknown, never a guess. Details:references/evidence-and-provenance.md.Reconstruct context. Summarize the goal, decisions, constraints, and preferences; identify completed work, changed files, commands and tests run; pin the exact stopping point. Every work-state claim carries an evidence ref (
src/file.ts:L20-L35, transcript lines, command output, or explicit "not checked yet"). Prior resume reports, summaries, and handoffs are claims, not primary evidence: re-verify against transcripts, files, git state, or command output, or label them unverified. Preserve explicit user deferrals ("skip", "park", "not now", "hold") with evidence, scope, and reopen condition.Extract tasks. Capture explicit TODOs, plans, and open questions; infer implicit tasks from failing tests, unfinished edits, and "next step" language. Keep specific unfinished tasks specific. Track deferred work separately from
NOT DONE. Classify:DONE(completed and verified, or no longer needed),PARTIALLY DONE(started but missing implementation, tests, review, commit, push, or confirmation),NOT DONE(not started or only discussed).Validate against the workspace. Inspect git status before editing and mention it in the checkpoint; read files the prior session touched. Preserve unrelated user changes in a dirty worktree; use a separate worktree or ask before colliding work. If transcript claims conflict with current files, trust current files and report the mismatch.
Continue from the first unfinished step. Do not repeat completed work; follow the established approach and style unless clearly broken. Ask the user only when blocked by missing information or an unsafe choice.

Resume Modes
Decide from the user's prompt how far to go after the checkpoint:
Report-only: the ask is what happened, done versus pending, or to check/audit/review a prior session without edits. Stop after the resume report and clear next action.Continue-edit: the ask is to continue, fix, implement, open a PR, or run tests. Report first, then continue from the first unfinished safe step.Quick resume: status report or task breakdown. Prefer a compact source inventory, task classification, and next action.Deep resume: implementation continues, the source is ambiguous, or files may have drifted. Read the full record and current git state, then continue.

Required Response Shape
Before continuing execution, report:
## Brief context summary
- Goal: <prior session goal>
- Loaded skill: path=<loaded SKILL.md path or "unknown">; source/version=<version marker or "unknown">
- Source reviewed: <transcript/export/artifact refs>
- Current workspace check: <git status summary and touched-file refs, or why not checked>
- Transcript/current repo mismatches: <none found | claim, transcript ref, current-repo ref, action>
- User deferrals: <none found | deferred scope, user wording, evidence ref, reopen condition>
- Stopping point: <last command, edit, failure, or user pause instruction with evidence>
## Task status breakdown
- DONE: <task> - evidence: <implementation refs>; verification: <test/tool refs or "not recorded">.
- PARTIALLY DONE: <task> - evidence: <started-work refs>; missing: <remaining gap refs>.
- NOT DONE: <task> - evidence: <TODO, failing test, absent artifact, or transcript gap refs>.
## Clear next action
- Next: <first unfinished step to take now>
- Blocked: <no | yes - reason and evidence>Then continue immediately unless blocked. Evidence rules and the static idempotency contract: references/evidence-and-provenance.md.
Guardrails
- Never assume the newest file is the right transcript when the user supplied a title or path.
- Never summarize from filenames alone or treat a compact summary as equivalent to an available full transcript.
- Never reset, revert, or discard existing changes unless the user explicitly asks.
- Never mark a task
DONEorPARTIALLY DONEfrom a plan alone; status requires evidence of completion or started work. - Never omit transcript/current-repo mismatches when the transcript and checked files disagree.
- Never unpark deferred scope from a vague "proceed" or "continue"; confirm the user wants that parked work reopened.
