What It Does

  1. Hydrate - Load vault context and relevant memories

    • Read CLAUDE.md
    • Load recent session context

  2. Run vault-status (abbreviated)

    • Recent file changes
    • Today's daily note status
    • Any pending items from last session

  3. Present session context

    • Summarize loaded context
    • Note any unfinished work
    • Highlight relevant memories

  4. Ask for session focus

    • "What would you like to focus on today?"
