Subcommand: `$ARGUMENTS` (use `doctor` when empty).
undead is a separate zsh tool; this plugin is only a wrapper for it. The resume itself happens in the shell when a
terminal restores a tab, so it can't be done from here.
Find the installed CLI with `command -v undead`, then `~/.local/bin/undead`.
**Installed:** run `undead $ARGUMENTS`, then explain the result in a few lines — for `upgrade`, which version it
moved to, or that it is already current — for `doctor`, which check failed and
the exact setting that fixes it; for `list`, which saved sessions still have an open tab; for `log`, what the last
`recorded` / `resuming` / `forgot` / `skip` decisions mean. `undead upgrade` replaces the CLI in place; it needs no
reinstall and changes no hooks.
**Not installed:** say what the installer touches:
- `~/.zshrc`: one marked block
- `~/.claude/settings.json`: a SessionStart and a SessionEnd hook
- `~/.codex/hooks.json`: a SessionStart hook
- `~/.local/share/undead` and `~/.local/bin/undead`: the program itself
Ask whether to install it. Only if the user agrees, run:
```sh
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dimabalony/undead-ai-sessions/main/install.sh | sh
```
Then tell them to open a new terminal tab (tabs that are already open don't have undead yet), and that the next time
they start `codex` it asks *Hooks need review* → choose **Trust all and continue**.
