# start

Alias — shorter to type, same behavior. Invoke the **start-session** skill (installed alongside this one) and follow it exactly. If skills can't be invoked by name in this harness, read `../start-session/SKILL.md` relative to this file (typically `~/.agents/skills/start-session/SKILL.md`) and follow that.
