Governance: Start Agent Session
1. Context
This skill starts a new agent session record under a bounded context, establishing a deterministic session anchor for follow-on handoffs and completion events.
2. Inputs
- context (required): Bounded context name (safe path segment).
- session_id (required): Unique session identifier (safe path segment).
- capability_ref (optional): Path to a capability declaration (defaults to the context default capability file).
- title (required): Short session title.
- purpose (optional): One-paragraph purpose/summary.
- initiated_by (optional): Initiator reference (person/team/system).
- agent_type (optional): Agent type (strategist, executor, etc).
- agent_model (optional): Agent model identifier.
- role_assignment (optional): RoleAssignment for U.Work logging (default: Strategist).
- decisions (optional): Semicolon-delimited DRR ids/paths.
- timestamp_start (optional): ISO-8601 timestamp for deterministic output.
3. Outputs
runtime/contexts/<context>/sessions/<session_id>.session.md
4. Procedure
- Validate inputs and ensure safe path segments.
- Resolve and validate the capability declaration reference.
- Create the sessions directory if missing.
- Write the session record with status and timestamps.
- Emit U.Work via
telemetry/log-work when available.
