# Resuming Codex Sessions

> Continue a previous Codex task thread within the same Claude Code session.

## How thread tracking works

The plugin tracks Codex task threads per repository. Each time a `/codex:rescue` task completes, its `threadId` is stored in the repository's job state. This lets you continue the same Codex thread in a later request rather than always starting from scratch.

<Note>
  Thread resumption only applies to task threads (from `/codex:rescue`). Review jobs (`/codex:review`, `/codex:adversarial-review`) are always one-shot and are never resumable.
</Note>

***

## Resuming automatically

When you run `/codex:rescue` without `--resume` or `--fresh`, the plugin checks whether a resumable thread exists for the current Claude session. If one is found, it asks exactly once:

* "Continue current Codex thread"
* "Start a new Codex thread"

For follow-up phrasing like "continue", "keep going", "apply the top fix", or "dig deeper" — the **Continue** option is recommended automatically. Otherwise, **Start a new thread** is recommended.

***

## Explicit resume

Use `--resume` to skip the prompt and always continue the last thread:

```bash theme={null}
/codex:rescue --resume apply the top fix from the last run
```

***

## Explicit fresh start

Use `--fresh` to skip the prompt and always start a new thread:

```bash theme={null}
/codex:rescue --fresh start over with a clean investigation
```

***

## Resuming in Codex directly

After any task finishes, `/codex:result` includes the Codex session ID. Use it to open that run directly in the Codex interface:

```bash theme={null}
codex resume <session-id>
```

This lets you review what Codex did or continue the work with the full Codex interface — outside of Claude Code.

***

<Warning>
  If a task is still `queued` or `running`, attempting to resume it will error. Run `/codex:status` first to confirm the task has finished before continuing.
