session-init

session-init is a skill for Claude Code from mshadmanrahman/pm-pilot. It costs 10 tokens per session (402 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session-starting checklist that recovers context from earlier work. It reads memory, handoff notes, and task files, then reports what was done, what remains, and what to do next.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting or resuming a coding session to find open tasks, blockers, recent decisions, and the next recommended action.
Why use it?
It reduces the time spent reconstructing unfinished work after a break or when taking over someone else’s 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 A, and why

session-init scanned grade A with 0 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 2mo 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Session Init

Quick-start a session by loading prior context and surfacing open work.

When to Use

  • Starting a new session
  • Returning after a break
  • Picking up someone else's work

Procedure

  1. Load Memory

    • Read MEMORY.md (auto-loaded, but scan for recent entries)
    • Note any currentDate or session-specific flags

  2. Check Handoffs

    • Read latest file in .claude/handoffs/ (sort by date desc)
    • Extract: last task, decisions, blockers, next steps

  3. Check Open Tasks

    • Read tasks/todo.md
    • Count open vs completed items
    • Identify highest-priority incomplete item

  4. Check Lessons

    • Scan tasks/lessons.md for entries from last 3 sessions
    • Note any recurring patterns or warnings

  5. Output Summary Produce exactly 5 lines:

    Session: {date}
Last: {what was last worked on}
Open: {count} tasks ({top priority item})
Blockers: {any blockers or "none"}
Next: {recommended first action}

Output Format

Session: 2026-03-14
Last: Lead scoring simulator deploy
Open: 3 tasks (fix CPL calculation)
Blockers: none
Next: Run verification loop on simulator changes

Rules

  • Never spend more than 30 seconds on init
  • If no handoff exists, say so and ask user for context
  • Do not auto-start work; present summary and wait for direction
Changes

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.
