# Load Walnut
Load a walnut's context. Read the brief pack, resolve people, surface one observation, ask what to work on.
## If No Walnut Named
List available walnuts grouped by domain. Use terminal to run:
```bash
find "$ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT" -name "key.md" -path "*/_kernel/*" | grep -v "01_Archive" | sort
```
Show as a numbered list. Let the user pick.
## Brief Pack (3 files)
Read these three files for the named walnut. Nothing else at this stage.
1. `_kernel/key.md` -- full (identity, people, links, rhythm)
- 2. `_kernel/now.json` -- full (phase, next, bundles, tasks, sessions, blockers)
+ 2. `_kernel/now.json` -- full (phase, bundles, tasks, sessions, blockers)
3. `_kernel/insights.md` -- first 20 lines only (frontmatter, section names)
Show what you read:
```
> key.md [walnut name] -- [type], [rhythm], [N] people
- > now.json Phase: [phase]. Next: [action]. Bundles: [N] active.
+ > now.json Phase: [phase]. Urgent: [N] / Active: [N]. Bundles: [N] active.
> insights.md [N] domain knowledge sections
```
## Spotted
- One observation grounded in what you just read. A stale blocker, an overdue next action, a bundle with no recent sessions. If nothing genuine, skip it.
+ One observation grounded in what you just read. A stale blocker, an urgent task that has been sitting, a bundle with no recent sessions. If nothing genuine, skip it.
## Then Ask
```
[walnut name]
Goal: [from key.md]
Phase: [from now.json]
- Next: [from now.json next.action]
Bundle: [active bundle name] ([status])
What are you working on?
- 1. Continue from next
- 2. Continue active bundle
- 3. Start something new
- 4. Go deeper (log, linked walnuts)
- 5. Just chat
+ 1. Continue active bundle
+ 2. Start new
+ 3. Go deeper (log, linked walnuts)
+ 4. Just chat
```
+
+ If no active bundle exists, drop option 1 and renumber so the menu is `1. Start new 2. Go deeper 3. Just chat`.
## During Work
- Stash decisions, tasks, notes in conversation
- Watch for people updates, bundle fits, capturable content
- When another walnut is mentioned, ask before loading it
