The claude --resume <id> CLI flag already takes a session ID and jumps straight to that conversation. The in-session /resume slash command has no equivalent — it only opens the interactive picker.
When you already know the session ID (from grepping ~/.claude/projects/, from a script, or from an earlier session that looked it up), the picker is friction: you have to eyeball each row's opening prompt to find the right one. And /resume is otherwise the low-friction path, since it switches in place without the exit-to-shell round-trip that claude --resume requires.
Request: let /resume <session-id> switch directly to that session, skipping the picker. Bare /resume would keep showing the picker as today.
