This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Load?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Codex Compatibility

When running this skill in Codex, translate Claude Code-only primitives before acting: AskUserQuestion -> chat/request_user_input, TodoWrite -> update_plan, Task/TaskCreate/TeamCreate/SendMessage -> spawn_agent/send_input/wait_agent when available and allowed, and EnterPlanMode/ExitPlanMode -> a concise chat plan plus explicit approval. Resolve Read/Write/Edit/Bash/WebSearch/WebFetch to Codex file/shell/web tools, and map ~/.claude/... paths to ~/.agents/... or ~/.codex/... unless the task explicitly targets Claude Code.

Cursor Compatibility

When running this skill in Cursor Agent, translate Claude Code-only primitives before acting: AskUserQuestion -> AskQuestion; TodoWrite -> Cursor TodoWrite or an equivalent checklist; Task/TaskCreate/TeamCreate/SendMessage/multi-agent flows -> Cursor Task (subagents), parallel Tasks, or run_in_background when allowed (TeamCreate/SendMessage may have no exact match); EnterPlanMode/ExitPlanMode -> Plan mode (SwitchMode / CreatePlan) plus explicit user approval. Resolve Read/Write/Edit/StrReplace/Bash/web/search/MCP via Cursor Composer or Agent equivalents. MCP names written as mcp__server__tool typically map to call_mcp_tool with configured server identifiers. Map ~/.claude/... to ~/.cursor/skills/, .cursor/skills/, and .cursor/rules/ unless the task explicitly targets Claude Code.

Load project context from Serena MCP memory.

All context loading uses Serena MCP tools exclusively (no agent-specific tools)
Follow cross-references found in loaded memories ("MUST read", "also read")

Step 1: Discover Memories

Call list_memories to discover all memory keys

Step 2: Read Memories

If memories exist:

Read all CRITICAL_* memories
Follow cross-references: if any loaded memory says "MUST read", "also read", or "see also" — read those keys
Read the most recent session_* memory (by date in key name)

If no memories exist:

Note this is a first session — suggest running /save at end of session

Step 3: Report

Present to the user:

## Session Loaded

- **Project**: [name]
- **Memories Loaded**: [count] ([list of keys])
- **Key Context**: [1-2 sentence summary of project state]
- **Previous Session**: [summary from session_* memory, or "None"]
- **Status**: Ready
