Session Start Checklist

When to use

• First message of a new chat
• User says "morning", "let's start", "what's on today", "where did we leave off"
• After a context compression / fresh session

When NOT to use

• Mid-task
• User already gave a specific task
• Same-session repeat

Steps (run in order — all routes have fallbacks, never give up)

1. Calendar — today's tasks

• Route A: mcp__claude_ai_Google_Calendar__gcal_list_events (load via ToolSearch first — deferred tool)
• Route B: Composio GOOGLECALENDAR_FIND_EVENT
• Route C: Python OAuth — build('calendar','v3',credentials=creds).events().list(calendarId='primary', timeMin=today, timeMax=tomorrow).execute() using ~/ClaudeWorkspace/Credentials/sheets_token.json
• Filter: events NOT starting with "DONE"
• Count: X pending tasks

2. Inspiration Library — pending captures

• Spreadsheet ID: 1IrFrCNGVIF7cvAr9cIuAXvCtUR_-eQN1mdCpHXpfbcU
• Tab: Inspiration Library
• Route A: Google Sheets API via OAuth (SHEETS_TOKEN)
• Route B: Composio GOOGLESHEETS_BATCH_GET
• Count rows with Status = NEEDS_REVIEW or blank

3. Chat Logs — yesterday's log

• Folder ID: 1qitnbz5_8tfZI2rnTogV1zLLLLOwFVCw
• Route: Drive MCP mcp__claude_ai_Google_Drive__search_files (q: parents has folder + name contains yesterday's date)
• Read summary if found

4. Report in this format

✅ Session ready
- X calendar tasks pending (top 3: …)
- Y inbox items need /capture
- Last session: [date] — [one-line summary from log]

5. Ask bypass question (exact text — see CLAUDE.md SESSION PERMISSIONS)

Reference scripts (reuse, do not rewrite)

• Calendar logic pattern: ~/.claude/scripts/eod_checker.py (reads Calendar via OAuth)
• Sheets read pattern: ~/.claude/scripts/add_inbox_task.py
• Full routing rules: ~/.claude/projects/-Users-priscilahigashi/memory/reference_active_connections.md

Notes

• If a route fails, immediately try next route — never report "blocked" until all 3 tried
• Calendar MCP and Drive MCP are DEFERRED tools — load schemas via ToolSearch before calling
