🚀 Bootstrap

"Wake up! Look around! What are you?"

The orientation skill for starting MOOLLM sessions warm.

Quick Start

> BOOTSTRAP
> BOOT        # shorthand
> REBOOT      # fresh start mid-session

Or ask naturally:

"Wake up!"
"What are you?"
"Orient yourself!"
"Give me the connections tour!"

What Happens

PROBE runs — gathers environment diagnostics (no terminal)
Driver detected — Cursor, Claude Code, Antigravity, custom, or generic
Critical files loaded — constitution, protocols, skill index
Context warmed — hot.yml updated with foundations
Self-orientation — agent understands its nature
Ready to explore — all K-lines activated

Probe Methods

Method	Uses Terminal	What It Gathers
`PROBE`	No	Model, tools, workspace, repos, context
`DEEP-PROBE`	Yes	+ System info, git status, tool locations
`CURSOR-PROBE`	Yes	+ Cursor status, config, MCP, indexing, sessions

Output goes to bootstrap-probe.yml (gitignored — stays local).

Introspection Integration

Bootstrap integrates with the cursor-mirror skill for deep self-reflection:

Method	Purpose
`CURSOR-PROBE`	Gather Cursor config, limits, MCP servers
`REFLECT`	Analyze previous sessions for optimization
`DEBUG-BOOT`	Trace boot sequences to find issues

# Introspection commands via cursor-mirror
cursor-mirror status                  # Overall health
cursor-mirror analyze @1              # Analyze last session
cursor-mirror thinking @1             # Review reasoning
cursor-mirror context-sources @1      # What context was assembled
cursor-mirror tools @1 -v             # Tool call patterns

Use this to:

Optimize kernel/drivers/cursor.yml
Improve working-set selection
Debug slow boots
Understand context assembly

The James Burke Tour

When invoked with enthusiasm, delivers a whirlwind Connections-style tour:

Connection	From → To
1	Logo turtle → filesystem as microworld
2	The Sims → YAML Jazz
3	K-lines → protocol symbols
4	Carrier pigeons → SPEED-OF-LIGHT
5	Statistical center → adversarial committee
6	Hidden memory → FILES-AS-STATE
7	HyperCard → ROOM-AS-FUNCTION
8	Classes → prototypes
9	Crashes → NEVER-CRASH
10	Self deoptimization → driver abstraction
11	This tour → bootstrap skill

File	Purpose
SKILL.md	Full specification
CONNECTIONS.md	The James Burke tour — full 11 connections
CARD.yml	Machine-readable interface
PROBE.yml.tmpl	Template for probe output

Output: .moollm/bootstrap-probe.yml (gitignored local state)
