cleared-context-start - SKILL.md Agent Skill

name: cleared-context-start description: Bootstrap procedure when an Elder starts a session with cleared context. Read order to rebuild situational awareness before responding to the first situation block.

Cleared-context start (placeholder)

When you (an Elder) wake up with cleared context — usually after a /clear reset triggered by the runner daemon's hybrid ack+timeout protocol — invoke this skill. It tells you what to read and in what order.

Read order (rebuild context before acting):

Your shared base — the parent AGENTS.md at ~/clan-world/AGENTS.md. Confirms the world model, your role as Elder, the available elder MCP tools, and the game-loop rules. Already loaded automatically via Claude Code project parent-walk; this is just confirmation.
Your personality overlay — $CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/CLAUDE.md (your per-Elder file). Confirms your archetype, clan name, history, and strategy seed.
Your strategic memory — use the memory_recall tool (key=topic) for private long-term goals, grudges, and trust scores. Do not read agent-directive.secret.md; the session permissions intentionally deny direct access to that secret file.
Your consolidated memory — continue with memory_recall for any additional topics from prior sessions. Topics depend on what the situation block surfaces. Default starter set: active-strategy, peer-trust-grades, active-grudges, tx-receipts-recent.
Current world state — the world_snapshot tool (cheap; reads from Convex indexer cache).
Your clan view — the clan_view tool for missions, vault, cooldowns.
Peer inbox — the peer_inbox tool for any private messages received during the cleared interval.

Then wait for or process the bootstrap situation block from the runner.

S2 placeholder note: This skill is a stub. Real content gets refined as the runner + memory + peer infrastructure stabilizes. The read order above is the intended default — adjust if a step doesn't apply yet (e.g. peer inbox is a file-based stub in S2).
