--- command: resume description: "[advanced] Resume a previous agent by ID — continue an interrupted task where it left off" --- # /octo:resume — Agent Resume **Your first output line MUST be:** `🐙 Octopus Agent Resume` Resume a previously-running Claude agent by ID. Picks up the agent's transcript and continues where it left off. ## MANDATORY COMPLIANCE — DO NOT SKIP **When the user explicitly invokes `/octo:resume`, you MUST call the `agent-resume` orchestrator path below.** You are PROHIBITED from pretending to resume an agent from memory or starting unrelated fresh work without telling the user. ## Step 1: Get the Agent ID If you don't have the agent ID: - Check `/octo:sentinel` output for running agent IDs - Look in `~/.claude-octopus/results/` for recent result files (filename prefix contains agent type + task ID) - The agent ID was shown when the agent was originally spawned ## Step 2: Resume Use the Bash tool to execute: **Preflight check — Ensure plugin root is resolvable (run via Bash tool FIRST):** ```bash set -euo pipefail OCTO_ROOT="${HOME}/.claude-octopus/plugin" if [[ ! -x "$OCTO_ROOT/scripts/orchestrate.sh" ]]; then helper="$OCTO_ROOT/scripts/helpers/ensure-plugin-root.sh"
