Claude Code went down again โ and instead of staring at the spinner, I finally built a fix. The video walks through two scripts that handle the outage problem in completely different ways depending on your setup: one for when you have a backup model subscription, and one for when you're only on Claude Code.
The interesting part isn't the scripts themselves โ it's how Claude Code actually stores your session locally, and what you can do with that file when the model drops. There's also a design trick for your last message before an outage that makes the auto-resume far more powerful than just replaying a prompt. I wasn't expecting that part to work as cleanly as it does.
