| description | Bootstrap a fresh session from the last handoff by reading session-handoff.md, optional Linear context, and TAPPS session start — without pasting a long manifesto. Use when the user says continue, pick up where we left off, resume, or start a new session on an existing task (optional TAP-#### argument). |

Start work in a fresh context window by assembling structured state — not a user paste.
-
Session bootstrap.
- Preferred: Call
mcp__nlt-build__tapps_session_start(). If data.compaction_rehydration is present, summarize it in one sentence.
- CLI fallback (MCP unavailable): Run
uv run tapps-mcp doctor --quick and read .tapps-mcp.yaml for project context (quality preset, brain URL, engagement). Proceed without blocking.
-
Load handoff (priority order).
- Read
.tapps-mcp/session-handoff.md if it exists — primary source.
- Else best-effort CLI (no
tapps_memory MCP — removed v3.12.0): uv run tapps-mcp memory get --key session-handoff (brain offline or auth missing → skip).
- Optional supplements (only if present):
docs/NEXT_SESSION_PROMPT.md, docs/TAPPS_HANDOFF.md (Next: section).
- P0 fallback: If Next (P0) is empty but Open has bullets, promote the first Open item as provisional P0 and flag it in the continue block.
- Memory context (optional):
uv run tapps-mcp memory recall --recall-key session-handoff --query "<P0 text or Linear id>" pins the handoff mirror then adds semantic hits (HTTP-safe). Alternative: uv run tapps-mcp memory search --query "...". Skip silently when brain auth is unavailable.
-
Linear context.
- If the user passed
TAP-#### (argument or in handoff Linear P0), call mcp__plugin_linear_linear__get_issue(id=...).
- For backlog/triage without a known id, invoke the
linear-read skill instead of raw list_issues (do not call list_issues directly — cache gate).
-
Emit continue block (~15 lines max). Present:
- P0 — next action + Linear link if available (note if promoted from Open)
- Done / Open / Blockers — compressed from handoff
- Verify first — commands from handoff
- Success criterion
- Stale warning if handoff Updated is >7 days old or missing
-
Proceed on P0. Ask only if P0 is ambiguous; otherwise start using normal TAPPS workflow (tapps_quick_check after Python edits). Do not ask the user to re-paste prior context when handoff files exist.
