Resume Specific Session

There are a few different ways to resume a Claude Code session.

First, if I have exited a session for the current project and I want to pick back up with that most recent one, then I can use claude --continue.

If I have had a few recent sessions for the current project and I want to remember what they were and pick up where I left off with one of them, then I can use claude --resume (with no argument). That will open a picker where I can browser through a summary of the recent sessions based on their starting prompt. The one I pick is the session that will be resumed.

Finally, if I have grabbed a specific session ID (UUID) during the session from the /status output, then I can reference that value directly.

$ claude --resume 92170532-be31-4a91-b2a9-025b8fa78232

See claude --help for more details.
