What is the Resume Session skill?

It is a utility for Claude Code that allows you to load summaries of previous work sessions to continue tasks without manually repeating context to the AI.

What information does it restore?

It restores the session date, project name, a summary of previous accomplishments, a list of modified files, and a checklist of pending next steps.

How does it handle missing files?

The skill includes a validation step to ensure files mentioned in the session summary still exist before prompting you to work on them.

Can I resume a specific session by name?

Yes, you can provide a full file path, a unique session ID, or even a partial keyword (like 'csrf') to find and load a specific historical session.

Where are my session files stored?

The skill searches for a .claude-sessions/ folder in your current project directory first, then falls back to a global ~/.claude-sessions/ directory.

Productivity & Workflow

Restores context from previous work sessions by loading summaries, pending tasks, and file history to ensure seamless workflow continuity.

The Resume Session skill enables Claude to pick up exactly where it left off by parsing session summaries stored in project-level or global directories. It automatically identifies the most recent session or allows users to specify a specific session ID or partial keyword match. By loading historical context—including key decisions, modified files, and 'next steps' checklists—it eliminates the need for manual re-onboarding and helps developers jump straight back into productive work across multiple sessions without losing momentum.
