Start โ Session Orientation
Provide a structured snapshot of the workspace to help the user decide what to work on. This prevents the agent from guessing the next task and puts the user in control.
Triggers
- User says "start", "what's next", "where were we", or "orient me".
- First interaction in a new working session.
Process
- Read Backlog State: Read the top of
BACKLOG.md (specifically the > State: line or current active task).
- Read Handoff: Look for the most recent
BACKLOG.md (under ## Active Sessions) or wip/<topic>/context.md that was updated.
- Format Output: Use the strict template below to present a compact snapshot. Do NOT invent tasks.
Template
## Where Things Stand
> [State line from BACKLOG.md, or "No active backlog state"]
## Recent Handoff
[One paragraph summary of the most recent Dead Drop / Breadcrumb]
## Suggested Focus
1. **[Continue: Topic]** โ [What's in the handoff]
2. **[Next: Topic]** โ [Highest priority item from BACKLOG.md]
3. **[Explore: Topic]** โ [Resume a recent WIP / Storm Session]
*What are we tackling today?*
