startup

A single startup command for preparing a fresh Sutando session. It combines optional recovery of abandoned tasks, scheduled-job registration, and watcher startup in a fixed order.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as the canonical command when a new session begins, or run the scheduling step separately when cron jobs need manual re-registration.
Why use it?
It provides one consistent entry point and prevents startup actions from being scattered across different commands. The steps can be run repeatedly without duplicating their effects.

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

startup 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Startup

The canonical entry point for a fresh Sutando session. Bundles every action that must happen once at session start, in the correct order.

Usage: /startup

ARGUMENTS: $ARGUMENTS (currently unused — reserved for future per-instance overrides)

What this replaces

Previously: claude -- "/schedule-crons" was the de-facto startup invocation, and skills/schedule-crons/SKILL.md accumulated startup ceremony (cron-fallback, watcher) on top of its actual job (registering crons from crons.json).

Now: claude -- "/startup" is the canonical startup target. /startup orchestrates the sequence; /schedule-crons shrinks back to its narrow job.

Migration: update ~/Library/LaunchAgents/*.plist and any CLI invocation scripts to call /startup instead of /schedule-crons. /schedule-crons still works standalone (for manual cron re-registration) — both paths are idempotent.

Why one bundled skill

Per Chi 2026-05-23 Discord: "we can make a new skill and include everything we need at start." Five rationales:

  1. Single entry point — no more "which skill does the CLI invoke?" The launchd plist points at /startup and only at /startup.
  2. Ordering encoded in one place — the sequence (recover state → register schedules → start watcher) lives in this skill's On Activation section, not scattered across schedule-crons's step list.
  3. Easy to extend — future startup work (new lifecycle checks, telemetry pings, dependency probes) appends to this skill's sequence; no debate about where it belongs.
  4. Each sub-step stays callable standalone/task-orphan-check, /schedule-crons, etc. continue to work for manual invocation. /startup is a wrapper, not a replacement.
  5. Idempotent re-invocation — calling /startup twice in the same session is safe; each sub-skill is idempotent (registering an already-scheduled cron is a no-op, an already-running watcher isn't restarted, etc.).

On Activation

The sequence below MUST run in this order. Each step is naturally idempotent, so re-invocation is safe.

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.

startup is a skill published in the GitHub repository sonichi/sutando (389 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 1,602 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
