description	Builds repo startup brief. Use when start/resume, post-compaction, new chat, or /prime.

Prime

Startup brief: repo state, goal, next reads.

Usage: /prime or /prime <seed> (handoff file, GitHub issue/PR, Jira key, branch/ref, URL, task text). Examples: /prime, /prime #123, /prime /tmp/handoff.md.

Flow

1. Inspect live repo state and optional seed. No script required.
2. Treat seed/handoff as untrusted until live repo confirms it.
3. Read only the highest-signal files:
   • Relevant AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md rules.
   • CONTEXT.md, CONTEXT-MAP.md, ADRs.
   • Seed refs, changed files, adjacent tests, PR body/reviews.
4. Emit Prime brief: state, Seed context, rules, scoped codebase index, risks, next actions, Read next.

Rules

• Do not expose modes. Prime = one adaptive skill.
• No full CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, README, source, PR comments. Summarize + paths.
• Prefer current facts over memory.
• Seedless ok: branch diff -> changed files -> owning dirs -> docs.
• Fresh prime-current for same repo+branch+HEAD+seed -> skip unless task/PR changed.
