Clean-room-oriented Agent Skills for migrating bounded local coding-agent context into a fresh session. Readers never invoke the source agent CLI and never add a network path; recovered text is marked untrusted and stale.

Current release: 0.4.4 · PyPI · 306/306 packaging and Ubuntu installed-runner cells (17 sources × 18 destinations). Windows native mutating install is supported (#125); Windows hard gate is focused product-install smoke (3 hosts), not full 306/306 on Windows. Published v0.4.3 / v0.4.2 / v0.4.1 / v0.4.0 remain historical; published v0.3.4 remains historical 81.

Host evidence boundary: v0.3.2-era checks cover 7/7 exact native local plugin/extension installs, 8/8 host-native headless Skill invocations, 6/6 compatible public marketplace installs, and Cursor/Kimi pickers. Fresh through 0.4.4 host reinstall/picker flows and Pi/OpenClaw native UI remain not-run (still not re-run on this tip).

Current main development version: 0.4.5.dev0. Explicit build/release reports add +g<commit>[.dirty] while package metadata keeps the PEP 440 base. Artifact builds pin one canonical identity before producing bytes. Repository-level immutable v* tag enforcement remains active (ruleset 20148806).

Requirements

• Python 3.11+; CI covers 3.11–3.14 on Ubuntu and macOS.
• Product runtime is stdlib-only.
• Optional trusted zstd binary for compressed Codex rollouts.

Quick start

Install the published package, then install every destination profile into its user-global Skill root:

pipx install portable-resume
install-resume-skills quick-install all

From a source checkout, use pipx install . instead. To install only one host or one project:

install-resume-skills quick-install qwen
install-resume-skills quick-install qwen --project "$PWD"

Windows without pipx

Use Python's actual user-base Scripts directory rather than a hard-coded Python311 path (the directory changes with the interpreter and install layout):

python -m pip install --user portable-resume
$scripts = python -c "import sysconfig; print(sysconfig.get_path('scripts', 'nt_user'))"
$userPath = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', 'User')
$parts = @($userPath -split ';' | Where-Object { $_ })
if ($parts -notcontains $scripts) {
  [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('Path', (@($parts + $scripts) -join ';'), 'User')
}

Open a new PowerShell after changing the User PATH, then install and verify the profiles you use:

install-resume-skills quick-install claude
install-resume-skills verify --host claude --scope global

Start with and verify the hosts you actually use. quick-install all is a transactional convenience across the registry-derived profiles, not evidence that every destination UI was activated. On Windows, the release hard gate is the focused Claude/Cursor/Codex product smoke, not 306/306. Shared symlink/junction roots are grouped by their physical root and require an ownership claim for every intended host. See Windows user install and shared Skill roots.

For a host-native public marketplace install, add the portable-resume-marketplace:

# Claude Code
claude plugin marketplace add ImL1s/portable-resume-marketplace
claude plugin install portable-resume@portable-resume --scope user

# Codex
codex plugin marketplace add ImL1s/portable-resume-marketplace
codex plugin add portable-resume@portable-resume

Verified Cursor, Qwen, Grok, Kimi and Antigravity CLI commands plus the direct OpenCode fallback are in docs/install-hosts.md.

The lower-level transactional command remains available for previews, custom roots, verification, and uninstall:

Installed (pipx/pip):

# Inspect capabilities and the registry-derived matrix
portable-resume --version
install-resume-skills --version
portable-resume self-check --json
install-resume-skills matrix
install-resume-skills hosts --json

# Preview, install, verify, and uninstall one destination
install-resume-skills install \
  --host qwen --scope project --project "$PWD" --dry-run
install-resume-skills install \
  --host qwen --scope project --project "$PWD"
# Selected sources are recorded in the ownership claim; verify intentionally
# takes no --sources argument and checks the recorded install plan.
install-resume-skills install \
  --host qwen --scope project --project "$PWD" --sources codex,grok
install-resume-skills verify \
  --host qwen --scope project --project "$PWD"
install-resume-skills uninstall \
  --host qwen --scope project --project "$PWD" --dry-run

From a source checkout (no install):

PYTHONPATH=src python3 scripts/portable-resume --version
PYTHONPATH=src python3 scripts/install-resume-skills --version
python3 scripts/check_version_state.py --require-git --json
PYTHONPATH=src python3 scripts/portable-resume self-check --json
PYTHONPATH=src python3 scripts/install-resume-skills matrix
PYTHONPATH=src python3 scripts/install-resume-skills hosts --json
PYTHONPATH=src python3 scripts/install-resume-skills install \
  --host qwen --scope project --project "$PWD" --dry-run

The synthetic fixture exists only in a source checkout:

PYTHONPATH=src python3 scripts/portable-resume claude show latest \
  --cwd /workspace/project \
  --source-root tests/fixtures/claude/s-cla-01-ordered-parent-chain/root \
  --format handoff

Full roots, activation grammar, direct archives, and marketplace/plugin routes are in docs/install-hosts.md. Release assets are generated with:

python3 scripts/build_host_packages.py --output-dir host-packages

Published v0.3.4 archives include nine direct-skill ZIPs (including Pi) plus supported Claude, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, Grok, Qwen, and Kimi plugin/marketplace bundles. Current main development builds derive direct ZIPs from all 18 enabled destinations. OpenCode remains a direct Skill install because its plugin surface is executable JavaScript/TypeScript rather than a Skill bundle.

Skill contract

python3 <skill>/scripts/run_reader.py show latest --cwd "$PWD" --json
python3 <skill>/scripts/run_reader.py show <session-id|path|text> --cwd "$PWD" --json
python3 <skill>/scripts/run_reader.py list --cwd "$PWD" --json

Activate resume-<source> using the host's documented grammar, run only the installed reader, and summarize its inert output after re-checking the repository. portable-resume/request-v1 files remain an optional advanced interface.

Safety invariants

• Source stores are immutable; stable no-follow reads fail closed on races.
• Source CLIs are never invoked.
• Recovered text is inert/untrusted and only best-effort redacted.
• Installer paths are contained under the selected skill root.
• Non-owned collisions require --force-with-backup; multi-root installs compensate on failure.
• Shared physical roots with divergent host renders fail before mutation.

Tests and CI/CD

Run all required local gates:

python3 scripts/self_verify.py
python3 scripts/check_secrets.py
PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -q
PYTHONPATH=src python3 scripts/smoke_installed_matrix.py

.github/workflows/ci.yml runs those gates across Ubuntu/macOS and Python 3.11–3.14, then builds the wheel/sdist twice from one identity pin and epoch under different parent umasks, requires byte-for-byte reproducibility, proves the source package was not mutated, verifies the same embedded identity across all 27 generated artifacts in four artifact families, and smoke-installs the exact wheel and sdist with poisoned build-pin environment variables removed from child processes. .github/workflows/release.yml accepts only annotated vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH tags reachable from main, re-runs dual-OS gates, builds release bytes once from one pinned identity, tests those exact bytes, creates SHA-256 checksums and GitHub attestations, stages a GitHub Release, and publishes through PyPI Trusted Publishing.

src/portable_resume/resources/latest-release.json records the immutable latest published identity. Normal CI fetches release tags and fails if changed source reuses a published stable version. The protected release path rejects development versions; after every release, main advances immediately to the next .dev0 line.

Published release v0.3.4 also verifies the GitHub Release layout itself: every SHA256SUMS entry is a flat asset basename, and both Ubuntu and macOS validate a simulated flat download before publication. The immutable v0.3.4 release run, commit, public checksum/attestation checks, GitHub Release, PyPI, and marketplace evidence are archived in docs/evidence-summary.md.

Other visual Skill pickers are not claimed. Vendor-curated directory listings (OpenAI Plugins Directory, Claude Code community marketplace, xAI Grok Build marketplace): the OpenAI Plugins Directory listing was published on 2026-09-09 (public page), the xAI catalog PR is awaiting review, and the Claude Code submission is pending review; the listing status is tracked in docs/STATUS.md. Cursor's full bubble graph is not claimed; redaction is not complete DLP.
