Respawn

vicnaum/respawn

Restart the current Claude Code CLI in its own terminal (iTerm2 window or tmux pane) and resume a session — the external relaunch step an agent cannot perform on itself. Use when: (1) the session's context is nearly full and was just stripped in place with session-stripper, so the CLI must restart to load the smaller transcript, (2) resuming a forked stripped session under a new session id, (3) the user or the agent says respawn, restart yourself, restart the CLI, reload the session, or resume after strip. Backends: iTerm2 (macOS) and tmux (works headless, e.g. Linux servers).

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take vicnaum/respawn from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
