KevinZai Session Startup
Boot Sequence (run in order)
1. Load Context
# Read project CLAUDE.md
[ -f CLAUDE.md ] && echo "📋 Project CLAUDE.md found" || echo "⚠️ No project CLAUDE.md — consider /project init"
# Read active tasks
[ -f tasks/todo.md ] && echo "📝 Active tasks:" && grep -c "^\- \[ \]" tasks/todo.md | xargs -I{} echo " {} incomplete items" || echo "📝 No tasks/todo.md"
# Read recent lessons
[ -f tasks/lessons.md ] && echo "📖 Lessons file found" || true
2. Check Git State
branch=$(git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null || echo "not a git repo")
dirty=$(git status -s 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')
echo "🌿 Branch: $branch | Uncommitted: $dirty files"
3. Detect Workflow Phase
Based on current state, suggest the right skill:
| Signal | Phase | Skill |
|---|---|---|
| No CLAUDE.md or tasks/ | Kickoff | /project init or project-kickoff |
| No spec file, new feature | Spec | spec-interviewer |
| Spec exists, no code | Plan | writing-plans or /plan-eng-review |
| Active todo items | Build | Continue working |
| Code written, no tests | Verify | verification-before-completion |
| Tests pass, ready to ship | Ship | /ship or /pr |
| Just shipped | Retro | /retro |

Gotchas
- Don't spend more than 10 seconds on startup — it should be fast
- If no project context, just greet and ask what we're working on
- Never auto-run destructive commands during startup
- MCP servers connect automatically — don't test them unless asked
