# Session Bootstrap

## When to use
Use at the start of a new session to create a local, gitignored session log.

## Procedure
1. Copy the template to create a local session log:

```bash
cp .agent/conversation.compact.md.template conversation.compact.md
```

2. Add the objective, constraints, and next actions to the new file.
3. Remember that `conversation.compact.md` is gitignored and stays local.
