Keep a **Claude Code** or **codex** session going when it stops — for a usage limit, or for a server that refused the turn — and restart it before it runs out of context. `claude-retrier` wraps claude, `codex-retrier` wraps codex. One shell script, with no tmux and no daemon behind it.

brew install a0s/claude-retrier/claude-retrier
claude-retrier                       # instead of: claude
codex-retrier                        # instead of: codex

Install

Homebrew, on macOS and Linux:

brew install a0s/claude-retrier/claude-retrier

Or take the file. It is self contained and there is no build step:

curl -fsSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/a0s/claude-retrier/main/claude-retrier.sh
chmod +x claude-retrier.sh
ln -s claude-retrier.sh codex-retrier            # optional: the codex name

Both names are installed whichever agents you have. `codex-retrier` is the same file with codex as its default, and on a machine without codex all it does is say so — which also means installing codex later needs nothing reinstalled.

Every version is also attached to a [release](https://github.com/a0s/claude-retrier/releases), with the notes for it in [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md).

Uninstall is `brew uninstall claude-retrier`, or deleting the file. Nothing else was touched: no shell rc edits, no launch agents, no background process.

Needs `bash` and `python3` 3.9+ ([details](docs/how-it-works.md#requirements)).
