clinvk resume¶

Resume a previous session.

Synopsis¶

clinvk resume [session-id] [prompt] [flags]

Description¶

Resume a previous session to continue the conversation. A session can only be resumed if it has a backend session ID recorded and the backend supports resuming.

Arguments¶

Argument	Description
`session-id`	Session ID or prefix (optional when using `--last` or interactive picker)
`prompt`	Follow-up prompt (optional)

Flags¶

Flag	Short	Type	Default	Description
`--last`		bool	`false`	Resume the most recent session (filtered by other flags)
`--interactive`	`-i`	bool	`false`	Show interactive session picker
`--here`		bool	`false`	Filter sessions by current working directory
`--backend`	`-b`	string		Filter sessions by backend

Examples¶

Resume Last Session¶

Resume the most recent resumable session:

clinvk resume --last

Resume with Follow-up¶

Resume and immediately send a follow-up prompt:

clinvk resume --last "continue from where we left off"

Interactive Picker¶

Use the interactive picker to select a session:

clinvk resume --interactive

If you run clinvk resume with no arguments and no --last, the interactive picker opens by default.

Resume from Current Directory¶

Filter sessions to only those from the current directory:

clinvk resume --here

Filter by Backend¶

Only consider sessions from a specific backend:

clinvk resume --backend claude

Resume Specific Session¶

Resume a specific session by ID:

clinvk resume abc123
clinvk resume abc123 "now add tests"

Combine Filters¶

Combine multiple filters:

clinvk resume --here --backend claude --last

This resumes the most recent Claude session from the current directory.

Behavior¶

The resume command follows this priority:

If --last is specified, resume the most recent resumable session that matches filters
Else if a session ID is provided, resume that session
Else open the interactive picker (or error if no resumable sessions exist)

Output¶

Resumes the session and displays the AI's response. The same output format options as the root command apply.

Example Output¶

Resuming session abc123 (claude)

> continue from where we left off
