Description

Preflight Checklist
  • I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
  • This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement

There should be a new tool or something that continues the work, for example:

  • I had a problem or something that requires me to /exit or maybe a crash that stops the current session working or maybe ctrl + C to intterupt the proccessing.
  • The current state for claude code I have to say for it "Continue" or something which I don't feel it is the first approach, there must be a better approach to handle this.
Proposed Solution

I would like a /continue to be added that if the proccessing interrupted or something I won't have to say "Continue" which would make some thinking or adding more context into the context window.

Alternative Solutions

CLI commands and flags

Use Case Example

1- I am working on a Front-end design
2- Suddenly I pressed Ctrl + C by accedint OR crashed OR computer battery shutting down
3- I type /continue
4- It continues with a very good approach better than saying for the AI: "Continue"

Research direction

No files or tests are mentioned. Start by locating the CLI command handling and session lifecycle for interrupted or crashed work, then compare the proposed /continue and /complete commands with existing controls. Done should mean an interrupted session can resume its prior work without requiring an additional natural-language “Continue” prompt.
