SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Session start frequently leaves an agent without immediate awareness of active protocols, pending learnings, outstanding errors, and which skills are available, causing avoidable delays and misaligned work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Creates a structured SESSION BRIEF: Produces an at-a-glance summary of active protocols, pending learnings, and pending errors with high-priority highlighting.
  • Inventories available skills: Scans the skills registry by discovering .agent/skills/*/SKILL.md files and listing their names.
  • Fits session and major task resets: Designed to be run at the start of any new conversation or when beginning a significant task to ensure consistent context.

Quick Start

Run the session-bootstrap bootstrap script to print a structured session brief for today’s workspace state.

FAQPage Schema
How do I load project context and pending errors when starting a new agent session?

To load project context when starting a new agent session, run a read-only PowerShell bootstrap script that scans local workspace files for active protocols, pending learnings, and errors, generating a structured session brief for immediate orientation.

What is the best way to inventory available skills and protocols in a local workspace?

Inventorying available skills is done by scanning the local workspace directory for `.agent/skills/*/SKILL.md` files and `.agent/knowledge/*.md` entries, compiling a structured list of accessible skills and active protocols for the agent.

Does the session bootstrap script require PowerShell to scan workspace learnings and errors?

Yes, the session bootstrap script requires PowerShell to execute its read-only inventory operations, scanning `.learnings/LEARNINGS.md` and `.learnings/ERRORS.md` to ensure it always exits successfully within a short runtime.

When should I run a workspace context bootstrap script for my AI agent?

You should run a workspace context bootstrap script at the start of any new conversation or when beginning a significant task reset, ensuring the agent receives immediate awareness of outstanding errors and pending learnings to prevent misaligned work.

Can I use session bootstrap to triage pending errors across different conversation resets?

Yes, you can use session bootstrap to triage pending errors across conversation resets by reading the `.learnings/ERRORS.md` file and highlight high-priority issues within the generated session brief for your next major task.

What are the limitations of using a read-only script for session orientation?

The limitation of using a read-only script for session orientation is that it cannot modify, resolve, or clear pending errors and learnings; it only inventories existing local workspace files to produce an at-a-glance summary for the agent.
