Session Start

Execute these steps immediately, in order, before responding to anything else.

Step 1 — Read Memory

Read your memory index (MEMORY.md or equivalent). Identify and read topic files relevant to the current project or conversation context.

Step 2 — Surface Last Session's Todos

Find the "Next Session Plan" from the last session-end output. Extract the todo list.

Step 3 — Status Summary

Give a brief (3–5 line) status summary:

• Active projects and their current state
• Outstanding todos from last session
• Any blockers or decisions that need attention

Do not ask "how can I help?" — deliver the summary and wait for the user's first message.
