Written and reviewed by Eric Han · Co-founder & CTO, reopt

The installed command menu and account or organization settings determine availability.

Examples

/resume

Effects and persistence

Continues the selected saved conversation. Check its working directory, model, and permissions after resuming.

Cautions

From v2.1.285, /resume and claude --resume open a session that is running in the background instead of refusing, and a prompt given with claude --resume <id> "prompt" is sent to it as its next turn. Earlier versions require attaching through Agent View or stopping the session first.
