 "title": "Resume an earlier figure run from the compose step",
 "page_title": "How to resume an earlier figure run from the compose step with Auto Illustrate",
 "summary": "Restart a stopped Auto Illustrate run from the compose phase instead of starting over.",
 "who": "A user whose figure run stopped partway through and who already has the run directory with earlier phase output.",
 "problem": "Restarting a long run from scratch wastes time and model calls when the earlier phases already finished.",
 "outcome": "The run continues from the compose step in the existing directory and writes the figure files again.",
 "steps": [
  "Locate the existing run folder under runs/ that you want to continue. (inferred, check the README)",
  "`autoillustrate --workdir runs/2026-05-20-101010 --resume-from compose` (replace the folder name with your run folder)",
  "Check the figures/ folder inside that run for full_figure.drawio, full_figure.png and full_figure_enhanced.png."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the repo SakanaAI/AutoIllustrate, resume the run in <run directory> from the compose phase with --resume-from compose. Verify that figures/full_figure.drawio is updated and report any error from the terminal output.",
 "agents": [

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "1 hour",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README gives the resume example for the compose step only, and logs under the run folder can echo document contents, so review them before sharing.",

 "lang": "typescript",
 "requirements": [
  "Node 22 or newer",
  "draw.io desktop CLI on PATH as drawio",
  "Claude Code CLI (claude) on PATH, since it is the default agent",
  "OPENAI_API_KEY set in the shell or a .env file",
  "Python 3.10 or newer (the CLI creates its own cached venv on first run)"
