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 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. --- > Source: [stevehuang0115/crewly](https://github.com/stevehuang0115/crewly) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
