start

Begin a working session. Load context, create today's daily note, review tasks.

Steps

Step 1: Get today's date

date +"%m%d%y %H:%M %A"

Step 2: Load memory (parallel reads)

Read simultaneously:

• .claude/memory.md
• .claude/knowledge-base.md

These are your working context. Knowledge-base entries are mandatory constraints.

Step 3: Create daily note

Create Daily Notes/MMDDYY.md (if it doesn't exist):

# MMDDYY - Daily Work Log

## Decisions
-

## Meetings & Conversations
-

## Notes
-

## End of Day Summary
-

Step 4: Open task board

Read Task Board.md. Scan for:

• Overdue items (anything from previous days still open)
• Today's priorities
• Blocked items

Step 5: Task review

For each task in Today:

1. Is it still relevant?
2. Do I have what I need to start?
3. Are there dependencies?

Move stale tasks to Backlog. Flag blocked items.

Step 6: Ready to work

Output a brief orientation:

• What day it is
• Top 1-3 priorities for today
• Any blockers or open threads from memory.md
• "Ready to work. What's first?"

Keep it short. The user wants to start working, not read a report.
