FAQPage Schema
How do I initialize a new workspace session and discover available projects?

To initialize a workspace session, the skill scans the repos/ directory for project CLAUDE.md metadata files. It loads this workspace context, presents project options, and helps set session goals to prepare the environment.

What is context loading for agentic workflows and how does it work?

Context loading reads project metadata from repos/CLAUDE.md files to summarize the current workspace state. It uses this discovered context to guide deterministic kickoff tasks and prepare the environment for agentic workflows.

Can I use this session bootstrap tool without a pre-configured repos directory?

No, this session bootstrap requires access to the workspace structure including repos/, agents/, and .docs/ directories. It scans these folders to load project metadata and present available project options for initialization.

How do I set goals and build a task plan when starting a new project session?

After loading workspace context and presenting project options, the skill prompts for session goals. It then builds an initial task plan based on the discovered project metadata to kick off work deterministically.

What's the best way to load workspace configuration and surface project options?

The best way to load workspace configuration is to run this initialization skill, which scans repos/ for CLAUDE.md metadata, summarizes the current state, and surfaces project options for the current workspace automatically.

Does this context loading tool work with standard markdown files or only specific metadata formats?

This context loading tool specifically reads project metadata from CLAUDE.md files located in the repos/ directory. It does not parse standard markdown files but relies on this specific metadata format for workspace discovery.
