Use at the start of a session to reload project context and show current health, pipeline position, and open work.
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
# /rdf:r-start — Session Initialization Reload context and display project health. This is the recommended first command in any session. It gives the agent a warm handoff — enough context to continue where the last session left off. ## Progress Tracking See [reference/progress-tracking.md](../reference/progress-tracking.md). Single task: `Initialize session` / activeForm: `Loading project context`. Mark `in_progress` at start, `completed` before the dashboard. Fallback (Gemini CLI, Codex): `- [ ] Loading project context...` → `- [x] Session loaded`. ## Protocol ### 1. Clear Context Run /clear to reset conversation context before loading fresh state. ### 2. Gather State **Single-project** (cwd is a git repo): Run ONE command to gather all state. Resolve `rdf-state.sh` using this probe order — use the first path that exists: 1. `~/.rdf/state/rdf-state.sh` — delivered by `rdf deploy claude-code` (checkout) or the plugin SessionStart bootstrap 2. `<rdf-checkout>/state/rdf-state.sh` — the RDF checkout this deployment was generated from (dev installs only) ```bash bash ~/.rdf/state/rdf-state.sh --full --env . ``` If neither path exists, skip to **Supplemental reads** below. …

How to install
mdr add rfxn/rdf/r-start@sha256:480a5ace088376d6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.2b7e4cf, 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.
