4949* Agent: a session started with [`--agent`](/docs/en/sub-agents#invoke-subagents-explicitly) or the `agent` setting continues as that agent, keeping its tool restrictions and model. Pass `--agent` when resuming to pick a different one; for the system prompt in either case, see [System prompt flags in resumed conversations](/docs/en/cli-reference#system-prompt-flags-in-resumed-conversations). Claude Code looks for the agent in two places: the session's original directory, provided you have [trusted that workspace](/docs/en/permissions#project-allow-rules-and-workspace-trust), and then the directory you resume from, so a project-scoped agent still loads when you resume from another directory. If Claude Code doesn't find the agent in either place, the session resumes with the default tools and shows a [warning naming the agent](/docs/en/errors#session-agent-no-longer-available).
5050* Permission mode: if you resume from a terminal with `claude --continue`, `claude --resume <session-id>`, or `claude --resume <name>` when the name matches one session, without `-p`, Claude Code restores the permission mode the session was in, except in the cases in [permission mode on resume](#permission-mode-on-resume), which also covers the session picker, `/resume`, and resuming with `claude -p`. Pass `--permission-mode` or `--dangerously-skip-permissions` to override the restored mode.
5151* Active goal: a [goal](/docs/en/goal#resume-with-an-active-goal) that was still active when the session ended carries over; its turn count, timer, and token-spend baseline reset.
52* Scheduled tasks: [tasks that haven't expired](/docs/en/scheduled-tasks#limitations) are restored. Background Bash and monitor tasks aren't.
52* Session-scoped scheduled tasks: [tasks that haven't expired](/docs/en/scheduled-tasks#limitations) are restored. Background Bash and monitor tasks aren't.
5353* Background work: a [background subagent](/docs/en/sub-agents#run-subagents-in-foreground-or-background), background Bash command, or [workflow](/docs/en/workflows) that ended with the previous process shows up in the resumed transcript as a note that it didn't finish. Claude Code doesn't start a turn from those notes; Claude reads them with your next prompt.

5555Not every configuration flag from the original launch is restored. If the session depended on `--mcp-config`, `--settings`, `--plugin-dir`, `--fallback-model`, or directories added with `--add-dir`, pass them again when you resume; directories added mid-session with `/add-dir` aren't restored either, though the session picker still uses them to locate the session. The standard settings files, such as `settings.json` and `settings.local.json`, are re-read at launch, so configuration that lives in them doesn't need to be passed again. For `--system-prompt` and `--append-system-prompt`, see [System prompt flags in resumed conversations](/docs/en/cli-reference#system-prompt-flags-in-resumed-conversations).
