# Resume Session Command

Load the last saved session state and orient fully before doing any work.
This command is the counterpart to `/save-session`.

## When to Use

- Starting a new session to continue work from a previous day
- After starting a fresh session due to context limits
- When handing off a session file from another source (just provide the file path)
- Any time you have a session file and want Claude to fully absorb it before proceeding

## Usage

```
/resume-session                                                      # loads most recent file in ~/.claude/session-data/
/resume-session 2024-01-15                                           # loads most recent session for that date
/resume-session ~/.claude/session-data/2024-01-15-abc123de-session.tmp  # loads a current short-id session file
/resume-session ~/.claude/sessions/2024-01-15-session.tmp               # loads a specific legacy-format file
