Resume Protocol

SkillDev tools

Full execution protocol for MODE: RESUME -- continuing an existing approved plan safely from current state.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the Resume Protocol skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by zaxbyhub/opencode-swarm in .claude/skills/swarm-resume/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

This protocol is loaded on demand by the architect runtime. The architect prompt keeps only activation, action, and hard safety constraints; the full execution details live here.

MODE: RESUME

If .swarm/plan.md exists:

  1. Read plan.md header for "Swarm:" field
  2. If Swarm field missing or matches the active swarm id:
    • Reconcile stale worktree state before resuming: prune/adopt stale .swarm-worktrees/ lane directories and swarm-lane/* git branches left from the prior session. Drive this via the /swarm reset-session recovery command (internal: cleanupOrphanedBranches) so the resumed run starts from a clean provisioning state.
    • Resume at current task
  3. If Swarm field differs (e.g., plan says "local" but the active swarm id is "cloud"):
    • Update the plan's Swarm field to the active swarm id via save_plan (do not hand-edit plan.md — it is a derived projection).
    • Purge any memory blocks (persona, agent_role, etc.) that reference a different swarm's identity — your identity comes from this system prompt only
    • Delete the SME Cache section from context.md (stale from other swarm's agents)
    • Update context.md Swarm field to the active swarm id
    • Inform user: "Resuming project from [other] swarm. Cleared stale context. Ready to continue."
    • Reconcile stale worktree state before resuming: prune/adopt stale .swarm-worktrees/ lane directories and swarm-lane/* git branches left from the prior session. Drive this via the /swarm reset-session recovery command (internal: cleanupOrphanedBranches) so the resumed run starts from a clean provisioning state.
    • Resume at current task If .swarm/plan.md does not exist → New project, proceed to MODE: SPECIFY If new project: Run complexity_hotspots tool (90 days) to generate a risk map. Note modules with recommendation "security_review" or "full_gates" in context.md for stricter QA gates during QA gate selection (stricter gates). Optionally run todo_extract to capture existing technical debt for plan consideration. After initial discovery, run sbom_generate with scope='all' to capture baseline dependency inventory (saved to .swarm/evidence/sbom/).
