Start (Lean Session)

Minimal session start - ask focus first, load only relevant context.

When to Activate

  • User says: "start"
  • Beginning of work session
  • When you want focused context

Flow

1. Ask Focus

Ask the user:

  • What area are you working on? (creative, technical, content, strategy, system)
  • What's the specific task?

2. Quick Context (Optional)

Only if relevant to stated topic:

If mentions "inbox" or "learning":

ls inbox/session-summaries/ 2>/dev/null

If mentions git:

git status -sb

Otherwise: skip context checks.

3. Load Relevant Role

Based on answer, read only the relevant role file from roles/.

4. Begin

[Role] here.

[1-2 sentence acknowledgment]

[First question or action]

What NOT to Do

  • Don't load ALL roles
  • Don't run full context checks unless needed
  • Don't greet with wall of text

Comparison

  • start: Lean, ask first, minimal context
  • help: Deep assessment, suggest priorities

Use start for focused work without setup overhead.
