Tap In - Session Initialization

Read recent activity and current state to get oriented at session start.

Workflow

1. Get Current Date

date +%Y-%m-%d

---

2. Check if Daily Housekeeping Needed

head -1 /root/projects/COO/DaysActivity.md 2>/dev/null

• If date doesn't match today: Run /daily-housekeeping first
• STOP here until housekeeping completes
• Then resume tap-in

---

3. Read Recent Activity

Last 2-3 entries from DaysActivity.md:

• Note open work items
• Note recent state/issues
• Identify continuity threads

head -80 /root/projects/COO/DaysActivity.md

---

4. Read CurrentStatus.md

cat /root/projects/COO/CurrentStatus.md

Get operational context.

---

5. Check Open Beads

bd list --status open

---

6. Output Session Briefing

Write to: /root/projects/COO/session-briefing.md

## Session Briefing - YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM

---

### Recent Activity

**Last Session**: [timestamp] - [brief summary from most recent handoff]

**Open Work (carried forward)**:
- [item 1]
- [item 2]

---

### Current State

[Summary from CurrentStatus.md — version, rigs, attention items]

---

### Open Beads (active/recent)

| Bead | Title | Type |
|------|-------|------|
| id | title | type |

---

### Resumption Guidance

**Carried forward from last session**:
1. [specific next step]
2. [specific next step]

---

### Ready Status

[Ready to proceed | Issues require attention]

---

Pairs With

• /handoff - Session end
• /daily-housekeeping - Runs before tap-in if date changed

Re-run Anytime

This skill can be invoked mid-session to refresh context:

/tap-in

Removed, deliberately

Agent-teams detection and the Team State Analysis step. The first step used to run claude config get experimental.agentTeams. That call hangs on Claude Code 2.1.216 — it never returns, even with stdin closed (verified: 20s timeout, rc=124) — so it burned the Bash timeout on every session start. Its only consumer was a Team State Analysis step that ran jq against .beads/issues.jsonl, a file that does not exist because the beads store is Dolt-backed. Nothing ever set the flag the team-aware output was gated on, so that output was unreachable too. A hang feeding a no-op. Removed 2026-07-21 (co-kavq). /handoff carried the same call — check there before reintroducing anything like it.
