name: session-start description: > At session start, read the session baton (docs/session/baton.md) and orient: restate this session's goal and the single next task, then open any doc listed under "Read first" before starting work. Does not start the task automatically. disable-model-invocation: true

Session Start

Orient from the baton the previous session left.

Steps

  1. Read docs/session/baton.md. If it is missing, say so and offer to start fresh (a session-end run creates it).
  2. If Read first names a doc (not None), read that doc before anything else.
  3. Restate to the user, in 2–3 lines: the Goal and the Next task.
  4. Stop and confirm the next task with the user before acting — never auto-start it.
