SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Bootstrap a new session by loading essential context from the previous session, the methodology from the process guide, and active decisions from decisions.md, delivering a ready-to-work state.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Context stitching: Reads next.md for prior handoff, loads PROCESS.md for methodology, and references decisions.md for active decisions.
  • Guided bootstrap: If a project directory doesn't exist, offers to bootstrap by creating CLAUDE.md from templates and a starter next.md.
  • Scope flexibility: Works with workspace-wide or project-scoped context via an optional project slug.

Quick Start

Type /start to bootstrap a new session, optionally providing a project slug to scope context to that project directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I bootstrap a session and load prior context?▼

To bootstrap a session and load prior context, type /start to automatically read next.md for handoff notes, PROCESS.md for methodology, and decisions.md for active decisions, delivering a ready-to-work state.

How do I scope session context to a specific project directory?▼

You scope session context to a specific project directory by providing a project slug when running /start, which restricts context loading to that project's workspace instead of the entire workspace level.

What happens if the project directory does not exist during bootstrap?▼

If the project directory does not exist during bootstrap, the session offers to create CLAUDE.md from a template and a starter next.md, then proceeds with loading the newly generated context.

What files are loaded to stitch context for a new workflow session?▼

To stitch context for a new workflow session, the bootstrap process loads next.md for prior handoff information, PROCESS.md for methodology, and decisions.md for active decisions.

Do I need a project slug to start a session?▼

You do not need a project slug to start a session; if omitted, the bootstrap process defaults to loading workspace-level context instead of scoping to a specific project directory.
