Frequently Asked Questions about start-right

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce AI prompting directives before starting a session?▼

To enforce AI prompting directives, apply a grounding prompt that resolves and reads directive files like rules.md, converting them into session commitments before substantial work begins.

What is a grounding prompt and how does it prevent session drift?▼

A grounding prompt prevents session drift by applying strict start-right rules, resolving referenced directive files, and establishing periodic re-grounding checkpoints to maintain commitments throughout the AI interaction.

How do I apply schema-first execution directives to an active session?▼

You apply schema-first execution directives by running a grounding prompt that reads the schema-first-execution.md file and converts its content into active session rules and commitments.

Can I re-ground an active session to enforce testing strategy rules?▼

Yes, you can re-ground an active session by applying the start-right prompt, which reads the testing-strategy.md directive file and re-establishes its rules as active commitments for ongoing work.

Do I need specific directive files to use grounding prompts for AI sessions?▼

Yes, grounding prompts require specific directive files such as rules.md, testing-strategy.md, and schema-first-execution.md to resolve and convert their content into session commitments.

What's the best way to maintain AI session commitments over time?▼

The best way to maintain AI session commitments is using a grounding prompt that establishes periodic re-grounding checkpoints, ensuring the session adheres to initial directives and prevents drift.
