# /ar:resume — Resume Experiment Resume a paused or context-limited experiment. Reads all history and continues where you left off. ## Usage ``` /ar:resume # List experiments, let user pick /ar:resume engineering/api-speed # Resume specific experiment ``` ## What It Does ### Step 1: List experiments if needed If no experiment specified: ```bash python {skill_path}/scripts/setup_experiment.py --list ``` Show status for each (active/paused/done based on results.tsv age). Let user pick. ### Step 2: Load full context ```bash # Checkout the experiment branch git checkout autoresearch/{domain}/{name} # Read config cat .autoresearch/{domain}/{name}/config.cfg # Read strategy cat .autoresearch/{domain}/{name}/program.md # Read full results history cat .autoresearch/{domain}/{name}/results.tsv # Read recent git log for the branch git log --oneline -20 ``` ### Step 3: Report current state Summarize for the user: ``` Resuming: engineering/api-speed Target: src/api/search.py Metric: p50_ms (lower is better) Experiments: 23 total — 8 kept, 12 discarded, 3 crashed Best: 185ms (-42% from baseline of 320ms) Last experiment: "added response caching" → KEEP (185ms) Recent patterns: - Caching changes: 3 kept, 1 discarded (consistently helpful) - Algorithm changes: 2 discarded, 1 crashed (high risk, low reward so far) - I/O optimization: 2 kept (promising direction) ``` ### Step 4: Ask next action ``` How would you like to continue? 1. Single iteration (/ar:run) — I'll make one change and evaluate 2. Start a loop (/ar:loop) — Autonomous with scheduled interval 3. Just show me the results — I'll review and decide ``` If the user picks loop, hand off to `/ar:loop` with the experiment pre-selected. If single, hand off to `/ar:run`. ## When to Use Resume a paused experiment. Checkout the experiment branch, read results history, continue iterating.
