Hidden-History Load Policy
This skill is invoked only on demand from [ST] Session Start workflow step-01b. It does NOT auto-load at activation.
parzival.md activation step 4 verifies the presence of the core skills (aim-parzival-bootstrap, aim-parzival-constraints, aim-parzival-loader) in {skills_path} without reading their content. Per parzival.md <rules> r6 ("Load files ONLY when executing user-chosen workflow"), skill content is read only when the menu command that uses the skill is invoked.
Parzival Bootstrap — Cross-Session Memory
Load cross-session context from previous Parzival sessions stored in Qdrant. This replaces the automatic startup injection with an on-demand skill invocation.
Output layers (Qdrant only)
The script retrieves three layers from Qdrant and emits each as a markdown section:
- L1
### Last Handoff— most recent agent handoff (deterministic, agent_id=parzival) - L2
### Recent Decisions— recent decisions and agent memories (deterministic) - L3
### Insights— recent agent insights (deterministic, agent_id=parzival)
Sanctum Tier B files (LORE.md, BOND.md) are not loaded here — they load in step-01b section 4 (Tier B), after the Qdrant gate completes.
Steps
- Run the bootstrap script with the installed ai-memory virtualenv to retrieve cross-session context:
"${AI_MEMORY_INSTALL_DIR:-$HOME/.ai-memory}/.venv/bin/python" \
"${AI_MEMORY_INSTALL_DIR:-$HOME/.ai-memory}/_ai-memory/pov/skills/aim-parzival-bootstrap/bootstrap.py"
Include the script output in your current context as cross-session memory from previous Parzival sessions.
If the script reports Qdrant unavailable or an error, note this and continue with file-based context only (MEMORY.md, oversight/ files).
Implementation
- Script:
_ai-memory/pov/skills/aim-parzival-bootstrap/bootstrap.py - Project scope: resolved through the shared
resolve_project_id(env-first → cwd/git → fail-loud), the same helper the write paths use, so read and write never disagree (BUG-314) - Failure mode: print a friendly notice and continue with file-based context (the bootstrap is best-effort; files are the primary record)
