enso-session-start

enso-session-start is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from usefulmove/enso. It costs 29 tokens per session (470 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session-start skill helps an agent understand the current state of a software project when work begins. It reads local instructions, recent project records, and the working-tree status, then gives a short dashboard.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for re-entering ongoing work, finding the active story or task, checking recent logs, and seeing which files have changed.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to reconstruct project context manually and avoids depending on one missing planning file. It asks questions only when it cannot identify the next useful task.

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

enso-session-start 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 4d 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

Contract

Start an enso session. enso is seam-oriented, not PRD-file-oriented.

Orient to the repository by reading durable harness signals, not by requiring any single canonical file. Trust local shape. Ask the user only when ambiguity blocks the next useful move.

Principles

  • Read local instructions first when present: AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, repo README, and obvious harness docs.
  • Infer project shape from durable signals: docs/stories/, docs/logs/, docs/reference/, .pi/, .opencode/, active story metadata, and working-tree state.
  • Do not bootstrap just because docs/core/PRD.md or any other canonical file is missing.
  • Treat story execution as a seam: identify the active story before executing story-scoped work, or ask.
  • Keep startup cheap. Load only context that is likely to matter for the next move.

Minimal Probe

Use lightweight read-only inspection as needed:

pwd
find . -maxdepth 3 \( -path './.git' -o -path './node_modules' -o -path './.opencode/node_modules' \) -prune -o -type f | sort | head -200
git status --short 2>/dev/null || true
ls -t docs/stories/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -5 || true
ls -t docs/logs/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -3 || true

Then selectively read the relevant files.

Re-entry Dashboard

Return a concise dashboard:

Session start: <repo/project>
Shape: <inferred harness shape>
Loaded: <files actually read>
Active work: <story/task/none + state if known>
Working tree: <clean/dirty summary>
Assumptions: <only material assumptions>
Mode: <scratch | task | story>
Next: <recommended next move or question>

If no question is needed, end ready to work. If a question is needed, ask exactly one.

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.
