resurrect

Print + copy the command to resume the current AI-CLI session. Run it inside a session and it prints — and copies to your clipboard — a ready-to-paste command like:

cd "C:\Users\you\my-project" && claude -r <session-id>

Open a fresh terminal later, paste, and the session revives. The cd targets the directory the session was started in — AI-CLI sessions are scoped to their working directory, so resuming from anywhere else fails with "No conversation found".

Supported CLIs

resurrect auto-detects which assistant you're in via its session-id environment variable, and emits that CLI's resume command:

CLI	Env var	Resume command
Claude Code	CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID	claude -r <id>
OpenAI Codex	CODEX_THREAD_ID	codex resume <id>
Google Antigravity	ANTIGRAVITY_CONVERSATION_ID	agy --conversation=<id>

It also auto-detects the OS, emitting a Windows path (cd "C:\...") in Git Bash vs a POSIX path (cd "/home/...") in WSL/Linux — always pointing at the session's own working directory.

Antigravity note

Antigravity injects ANTIGRAVITY_CONVERSATION_ID only into the agent's tool subprocess, not your interactive terminal. So typing resurrect yourself won't find it — instead ask the agent to run resurrect, and it reads the id from its own environment.

Install

git clone https://github.com/max-nothacker/resurrect.git ~/repos/resurrect
ln -s ~/repos/resurrect/resurrect ~/.local/bin/resurrect   # WSL / Linux / macOS / Git Bash

Windows

Different CLIs use different ! shells on Windows: Claude Code runs Git Bash (the script above), while Codex and Antigravity use PowerShell/cmd, which can't execute a bash script. For those, also install the .cmd shim and put ~/.local/bin on your Windows PATH:

ln -s ~/repos/resurrect/resurrect.cmd ~/.local/bin/resurrect.cmd

# PowerShell, once — add %USERPROFILE%\.local\bin to your User PATH:
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('PATH',
  [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('PATH','User') + ';' + "$env:USERPROFILE\.local\bin", 'User')

resurrect.cmd holds no logic — it just re-runs the bash resurrect via Git Bash, keeping a single source of truth.

Update / uninstall

git -C ~/repos/resurrect pull                          # update (symlinks serve it at once)
rm ~/.local/bin/resurrect ~/.local/bin/resurrect.cmd   # uninstall

Requirements

Git Bash (for the Windows .cmd shim) and a clipboard tool: clip.exe on Windows/WSL (used automatically), falling back to xclip, wl-copy, or pbcopy.

Verify

bash verify.sh proves the emitted command actually works: it creates a throwaway Claude session, runs resurrect, then resumes from the emitted directory (must succeed) and from $HOME (must fail) — catching the directory-scoping bug that a string check alone would miss. Run it in Git Bash and in WSL.
