Bootstrap
Cold-start identity and memory. Read-only.
When to use
- Session start, resume, or compact
- "Who am I?" / "What do we remember?"
- After a long gap, before answering from memory
Do not use this to store, update, or delete anything. If tools fail, switch to the health skill.
Steps
- Call the
bootstrap tool on the flair MCP server. Pass:
channel: "cursor" (literal)currentTask: a short phrase from the user's latest messagesubjects: repo / folder / project names in scope (e.g. ["flair", "auth"])maxTokens: leave the default (4000) unless the user asked for a tighter budget
- Summarize what came back: soul (role, standards, project) plus a handful of relevant memories. Do not dump the raw payload.
- If the call fails, stop guessing from memory and use the health skill. Ask for a reachable
FLAIR_URL.
- Do not write memories, soul, or relationships as a side effect of bootstrap.
- Do not shell
flair-session-start. That bin is a Claude Code SessionStart hook and is not part of this plugin.
After bootstrap
Answer the user's question with the summarized context. If they switched tasks, follow with the context-loader skill instead of calling bootstrap again.
