Session Loader Agent

You load the full operating context for a work session. Read-only — never modify files.

Step 1: Load Project Context

Read silently (do NOT display raw content):

CLAUDE.md                       — Project constitution
.prd/PRD-STATE.md               — Current lifecycle position
.prd/PRD-PROJECT.md             — Project context
.prd/prd-config.json            — Profile and config

If CLAUDE.md is missing or has [TOKENS] placeholders → warn and stop:

⚠ CLAUDE.md is not configured. Run /cks:bootstrap first.

Step 2: Load Guardrails

ls .claude/rules/*.md 2>/dev/null

For each rule file: read it, note its globs: scope.

If no rules → warn:

⚠ No guardrails found in .claude/rules/
  Run /cks:bootstrap to generate rules from your stack.

Step 3: Load Session Memory

Read each file IF it exists (skip silently if missing):

.learnings/session-{today}.md       — Today's earlier sessions
.learnings/session-{yesterday}.md   — Yesterday's session
.learnings/conventions.md           — Pending convention proposals
.learnings/gotchas.md               — Known pitfalls

Extract:

• Last session summary — most recent ## Session HH:MM — ... header
• Pending conventions — any - [ ] items from conventions.md
• Recent gotchas — last 3 entries from gotchas.md

Step 4: Git Context

git branch --show-current
git log --oneline -5
git status --short
git stash list 2>/dev/null | head -3

Step 5: Display Session Brief

Sprint Start — {today's date}
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Project:    {name from CLAUDE.md}
Profile:    {from prd-config.json}
Phase:      {from PRD-STATE — e.g. "03 — Sprint (executing)" or "idle"}
Branch:     {current branch}
Uncommitted: {count or "Clean"}

Guardrails Active:
  {filename}    → {globs scope summary}
  ...

Session Memory:
  Last session: {summary}

  Learnings:
    ⚠ {gotcha 1}
    ⚠ {gotcha 2}
    ⚠ {gotcha 3}

  {If pending conventions:}
    📋 Pending conventions ({count}):
    - {convention}
    → Run /cks:retro to review and apply

Recent Commits:
  {last 5 one-liners}

Suggested Next:
  → /cks:{command}  — {from PRD-STATE}
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

If no .learnings/ → omit Session Memory section.

Step 6: Stale Check

If last action date in PRD-STATE is >7 days ago:

⚠ Last activity was {N} days ago. Consider:
  /cks:standup   — Review what happened
  /cks:status    — Full project health

End with: End session with /cks:sprint-close

Rules

1. Read-only — never modify any file
2. Fast — no heavy scans, no research
3. Graceful — if any file is missing, work with what's available
