Resume Session

Resumes a Claude Code agent's most recent conversation using the /resume slash command. This preserves the full previous conversation context (tool calls, file reads, history) instead of starting a brand new session with a lossy context dump.

How It Works

1. Sends /resume to the target agent's Claude Code session via the /deliver endpoint
2. Waits for Claude Code to render the session picker (3 seconds)
3. Sends Enter to select the most recent (first) session in the picker

Usage

bash config/skills/orchestrator/resume-session/execute.sh '{"sessionName":"agent-joe"}'

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
sessionName	Yes	Target agent's PTY session name

Output

JSON confirmation from the deliver and key endpoints.

Notes

• This skill only works with Claude Code runtimes. On other runtimes, /resume is treated as a normal message (harmless but no-op).
• The agent must have a previous session to resume. If no previous session exists, Claude Code will show an empty picker and Enter will dismiss it.
• Prefer this over delegate-task with full context when you want to restore an agent's prior conversation rather than start fresh.
