Session Start

Start a new chat with full project context. Execute these steps IN ORDER:

Steps

1. Read core project files from start to finish (in parallel, if they exist):

   • README.md
   • CONTRIBUTING.md
   • .github/copilot-instructions.md
   • Project documentation directories (e.g., docs/, documentation/) — scan for index files like README.md, index.md, architecture.md, or ADRs in adr/ subdirectories
   • Build/test entrypoints (whichever exist): Makefile, package.json, pyproject.toml, go.mod, Cargo.toml

2. Load recent session context:

   • Read the most recent history entry from .smaqit/history/ (if no entries exist yet, continue without history).

3. Load task planning:

   • Read .smaqit/tasks/PLANNING.md (NOT individual task files).
   • Note: Task workflow rules (autonomous vs assisted modes) are loaded via task-list skill when working on tasks.

4. Synthesize and present a summary covering:

   • Current project state (from READMEs)
   • Recent changes and decisions (from history)
   • Open tasks sorted by priority
   • Suggested next steps

Critical Requirements

CRITICAL: Read complete files without line limits. Do NOT truncate at any arbitrary limit.

Note: Only read individual task files (.smaqit/tasks/NNN_*.md) when actively working on that specific task.
