arstart

arstart is a command for Claude Code from Goldentrii/AgentRecall-X. It costs 27 tokens per session (4,290 once invoked), scanned D, original, MIT.

A session-start command that shows ongoing projects, loads a chosen project's context, or sets up project tracking for the first time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review active projects, open one project with its background information, or bootstrap project tracking.
Why use it?
It removes the need to remember what you were doing or manually gather project details when starting a new coding-agent session.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade D, and why

arstart scanned grade D with 3 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Strips warnings and disclaimersmediumAnti-refusal

Omitting safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 461 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/arstart — AgentRecall Session Opener

One command, three modes — the single entry point for every AgentRecall session.

Invocation Mode Use when
/arstart (no args) Board You don't know what to work on yet — see everything in flight
/arstart <slug> Load You already know the project — load its full context
/arstart bootstrap Bootstrap First install, or backfilling projects AgentRecall doesn't know about yet

USE THIS FIRST. Every new session — before any work, before picking up a task.


Mode: Board (no arguments)

The true cold start. One command to see everything in flight across all projects — for both humans choosing what to work on and agents loading briefing context.

When to Use

USE THIS FIRST. Every new session — before any work.

  • Opening a new Claude Code tab or starting a fresh agent
  • "What was I working on?" after any break
  • Orchestrator loading full briefing before dispatching executor agents
  • Deciding which project to pick up next

Board mode only tells you what to pick. Once you know the project, switch to Load mode (/arstart <slug>).

What This Does

Scans every project in ~/.agent-recall/projects/, reads the latest journal's ## Next section per project, classifies status, and renders a unified status board card.

Process

Step 1: Scan all project directories
ls ~/.agent-recall/projects/

For each subdirectory (project slug), find the latest journal file:

ls ~/.agent-recall/projects/<slug>/journal/*.md 2>/dev/null \
  | grep -v '\-log\.' \
  | grep -v 'index\.md' \
  | sort -r \
  | head -1

Skip any slug that returns no journal files — it's an empty or test directory.

Step 2: Extract date, Next section, and Intention

From each journal filename, extract the date (YYYY-MM-DD prefix).

Read the file and extract the content under ## Next — stop at the next ## heading or EOF. If no ## Next section exists, use the first non-frontmatter line of the file as fallback.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
