Pull request overview
This PR enhances the resume functionality by allowing users to resume a specific Claude Code session by providing its UUID, rather than being limited to resuming only the most recent session.
Changes:
- Modified the
cmdLaunchfunction signature to accept either a boolean or string (UUID) for theresumeparameter - Updated argument parsing logic to detect and validate UUID-formatted session IDs following the
--resumeflag - Enhanced help documentation with examples demonstrating session ID usage
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

Allow users to resume specific Claude Code sessions by passing a session ID to the -r/--resume flag. This enables direct session navigation without having to resume the most recent session first. Usage: pai -r # Resume last session pai -r 285728b4-8814-40c4-b643-bb7a8e81859e # Resume specific session Changes: - Modified cmdLaunch to accept session ID as string or boolean - Updated argument parsing to detect UUID format after --resume - Enhanced help text with session ID usage examples Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

When resuming a session by ID, the wrapper now automatically: 1. Finds the session file in ~/.claude/projects/ 2. Extracts the original working directory (cwd) 3. Changes to that directory before launching Claude This eliminates the need for users to remember which directory a session was created in or manually use the -l flag. Before: pai -r <session-id> # Failed with "No conversation found" After: pai -r <session-id> # Works! Auto-switches to session's original cwd Implementation: - Added extractSessionCwd() to parse session files - Modified cmdLaunch() to use extracted cwd for session ID resumes - Maintains backward compatibility with boolean resume flag Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
-r/--resumeflagcmdLaunchfunction to acceptresumeas eitherbooleanorstring(session ID)--resumeflagMotivation
Currently, users can only resume the most recent session with
pai -r. If they want to return to an older session, they must use theclaude --resume <session-id>command directly, bypassing the PAI wrapper and losing PAI's startup configuration (MCP profiles, directory changes, voice notifications, etc.).This enhancement allows direct navigation to any session by ID while maintaining all PAI wrapper functionality.
