We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 8 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 0

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 3

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Run the restore CLI, which recreates the saved Ghostty layout (one window per saved window, its tabs, and panes as splits) and auto-types …

    line 8
  2. Very specific:

    Default name is latest.

    line 14
  3. Very specific:

    Use ghostty-resurrect restore [name] --dry-run to print the AppleScript without running it.

    line 16

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 8 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Ghostty session restore

Run the restore CLI, which recreates the saved Ghostty layout (one window per saved window, its tabs, and panes as splits) and auto-types claude --resume <id> / codex resume <id> in each pane.

ghostty-resurrect restore [name]
  • Default name is latest.
  • It opens a NEW Ghostty window; it does not touch existing windows.
  • Use ghostty-resurrect restore [name] --dry-run to print the AppleScript without running it.
  • ghostty-resurrect list shows saved snapshots; ghostty-resurrect show [name] prints one.

Known v1 limitation: panes are recreated as an even left-to-right split chain, so the number of panes per tab and every session is restored, but the exact split geometry may differ. Mention this only if the user asks about layout fidelity.
