ops-resume

ops-resume

Reopen recently-closed Claude Code sessions — one session per Ghostty tab.

For every recent session transcript under ~/.claude/projects, the helper opens a new Ghostty tab (cmd+t) and types cd <cwd> && claude --resume <sessionId>, so each session resumes in its own tab from whatever directory or repo it was running in.

Default: every session touched in the last 60 minutes, from any directory.

Platform: macOS + Ghostty only. Tabs are driven via AppleScript System Events, so Accessibility permission must be granted to the terminal running this.

How it works

1. Scans ~/.claude/projects/**/*.jsonl and keeps files whose mtime is inside the lookback window (default 60 min) but older than OPS_RESUME_MIN_AGE_SEC (default 45s — so the session you are currently in is not reopened).
2. Keeps only real interactive sessions (UUID filenames); skips subagent transcripts (agent-*), workflow journals, and empty/junk sessions.
3. Reads each session's original cwd from the transcript.
4. For each, opens a fresh Ghostty tab and resumes the session there.

Usage

Run the bundled helper. Pass through any flags the user gave ($ARGUMENTS).

Always preview first with --dry-run, show the user the list, and — unless they clearly asked to "just open them" — confirm before opening real tabs (opening many tabs is hard to undo).

# Preview what would be resumed
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-resume --dry-run $ARGUMENTS

# Actually open the tabs
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-resume $ARGUMENTS

Flags

Flag	Meaning
-m, --minutes N	Lookback window in minutes (default 60)
-H, --hours N	Lookback window in hours
-n, --max N	Cap number of tabs (default 20, newest first)
--here	Only sessions whose cwd == current directory
--dry-run	List matches, open nothing

Env overrides

• OPS_RESUME_MINUTES (60) — lookback window
• OPS_RESUME_MAX (20) — safety cap on tabs
• OPS_RESUME_MIN_AGE_SEC (45) — skip sessions touched more recently than this

Reporting

After running, report concisely: how many sessions matched, how many tabs were opened, and any that were capped/skipped. If --dry-run, just show the list and ask whether to open them for real.
