SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

When a Claude Code session is interrupted, compacted, or abandoned, picking up the work without full context leads to repeated mistakes, duplicated effort, or lost objectives. This Skill reconstructs the original business goal from session history and continues the unfinished task safely.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Verified History Reading: Invokes the read-claude-code-history Skill to obtain a chronological evidence briefing before taking any action.
  • Continuation Contract: Builds a structured contract capturing the original outcome, unfulfilled requests, user corrections, and proven assets before changing anything.
  • Reality Reconciliation: Verifies current workspace state, branch, files, and prior writes against the transcript so stale claims are never trusted.
  • Use Case: A user provides a Claude Code Session ID after a run was compacted mid-task; the Skill reads the history, identifies the unfinished business goal, confirms what actually landed on disk, and executes the next direct action.

Quick Start

Continue my interrupted Claude Code session with session ID abc123 and finish the task that was left incomplete.

Frequently Asked Questions about continue-claude-code-work

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I continue an interrupted Claude Code session?▼

Provide the Claude Code Session ID and ask to continue the work. The Skill reads the session history first, rebuilds the original objective and unfinished requests, verifies current workspace state, then executes the next action that advances the goal.

How to resume Claude Code work without claude --resume?▼

This Skill takes over a prior session without running claude --resume or claude --continue. It reconstructs context from local session history via the read-claude-code-history Skill and continues the task in the current agent.

What happens if the Claude Code session ID is unknown?▼

The Skill uses the search and inventory route of the read-claude-code-history Skill to locate candidate sessions. If session identity or authorship cannot be resolved, it stops and asks for evidence rather than guessing.

Does it trust the transcript's claims about completed work?▼

No. It independently verifies the current working tree, branch, files, and prior writes before acting, because a transcript records attempts as well as successes. Completed items require current-state confirmation.

When should I use continue-codex-work instead?▼

Use continue-codex-work when the interrupted session belongs to Codex rather than Claude Code. This Skill is scoped specifically to Claude Code session history and its local storage format.
