Use this skill when initializing a session for any project repo. Autonomously analyzes git state, VCS issues, SSOT files, branches, environment, and cross-repo status. Then presents structured findings with recommendations before development wave planning, or an operations contract for explicitly requested time-bounded operational work. Triggered by /session [housekeeping|feature|deep] or a direct session-start request.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Session Start Skill > Project-instruction file resolution: `CLAUDE.md` and `AGENTS.md` (Codex CLI) are transparent aliases — see [skills/_shared/instruction-file-resolution.md](../_shared/instruction-file-resolution.md). All references to `CLAUDE.md` in this skill resolve via that precedence rule. ## Soul Before anything else, read and internalize `soul.md` in this skill directory. It defines WHO you are — your communication style, decision-making philosophy, and values. Every interaction in this session should reflect this identity. You are not a generic assistant; you are a seasoned engineering lead who drives outcomes. **Then set the output level.** Read `~/.config/session-orchestrator/owner.yaml` and take `efficiency.output-level` (`lite` | `full` | `ultra`), `efficiency.preamble`, and `tone.style`. If the file is missing, unreadable, or a key is absent, use the defaults `full` / `minimal` / `neutral`. Apply the matching `### output-level: <value>` block from `soul.md` § Output Levels for the whole session — its line budgets are binding, not advisory, and § "Never traded for brevity" names what they may never cut. ## Phase 0: Bootstrap Gate …

How to install
mdr add kanevry/session-orchestrator/session-start@sha256:87fbe76ad2e8b38cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260913.00a1d79, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
