# Prime Session Context

Orient yourself in a fresh session before answering questions or proposing actions.

1. Read `CLAUDE.md` — project identity, structure, and where the key files are.
2. Read `STATUS.md` — current position, recent decisions, immediate next steps.
3. Read any other files `CLAUDE.md` points to that the current task needs (briefs, learning logs, orchestration plans).
4. Don't act on the next steps yet — summarise the current position and pending next steps to the user to confirm alignment first.
