Toke Init — Session Pre-Flight

Invoke at session start to load Toke context and verify system health.

Project Paths

Item	Path
Toke root	$TOKE_ROOT (set via env var; defaults to the cloned repo location)
Project status	~/.claude/projects/<current-slug>/memory/project_status.md
Memory index	~/.claude/projects/<current-slug>/memory/MEMORY.md
Global settings	~/.claude/settings.json
Installed skills	~/.claude/skills/
Slash commands	~/.claude/commands/

Phase 1: Load (parallel)

Read these in one parallel batch so nothing blocks:

1. Project status — ~/.claude/projects/<current-slug>/memory/project_status.md (if exists) — where we left off
2. Memory index — ~/.claude/projects/<current-slug>/memory/MEMORY.md (if exists) — pointer list
3. Toke README — $TOKE_ROOT/README.md — big-picture refresher (optional — skip if already loaded)

If a file is missing → warn but continue. Never block init on a missing file.

Phase 2: Health Check (fast, ≤ 5 seconds)

Parallel shell block — catches broken pipelines early:

# Brain telemetry
DECISIONS=$(wc -l < ~/.claude/telemetry/brain/decisions.jsonl 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
TOOLS=$(wc -l < ~/.claude/telemetry/brain/tools.jsonl 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
TICK=$(cat ~/.claude/telemetry/brain/godspeed_count.txt 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
echo "Brain: ${DECISIONS} decisions, ${TOOLS} tool calls, tick ${TICK}"

# Homer pantheon
python $TOKE_ROOT/automations/homer/homer_cli.py status 2>&1 | head -12

# Mnemos store
python $TOKE_ROOT/automations/homer/mnemos/mnemos.py health 2>&1 | head -12

# Zeus CLI
python $TOKE_ROOT/automations/homer/zeus/zeus_cli.py status 2>&1 | tail -5

Report inline. Flag any layer that fails its health check. Do NOT block init on a health warning — surface it in the briefing.

Phase 3: Briefing

Render a one-screen summary — real data from Phase 1+2, no placeholders:

═══════════════════════════════════════
  TOKE — SESSION READY
═══════════════════════════════════════

LAST SESSION: [date from project_status.md] — [one-line summary]
  Completed:  [bullets from status]
  In-Progress:[bullets from status]
  Next Up:    [bullets from status]

TOKE SYSTEMS:
  Brain:  [N] decisions logged, tick [N]
  Homer:  [N]/8 layers live, [N]/[N] integration tests green
  Mnemos: [N] recall rows, semantic_available=[T/F]
  Zeus:   atomic gate-write CLI [OK/missing]

READY. What are we building?
