# /ar:resume — Resume Experiment

Resume a paused or context-limited experiment. Reads all history and continues where you left off.

## Usage

```
/ar:resume                                  # List experiments, let user pick
/ar:resume engineering/api-speed            # Resume specific experiment
```

## What It Does

### Step 1: List experiments if needed

If no experiment specified:

```bash
python {skill_path}/scripts/setup_experiment.py --list
```

Show status for each (active/paused/done based on results.tsv age). Let user pick.

### Step 2: Load full context

```bash
# Checkout the experiment branch
git checkout autoresearch/{domain}/{name}

# Read config
cat .autoresearch/{domain}/{name}/config.cfg

# Read strategy
