/ start-session

Begin a work session. Check active work, surface blockers, get oriented.

The /start-session command kicks off a work session. It reads your project state, checks for active and stale issues, and presents a dashboard so you know where things stand before you start.

Usage

agent chat 
/start-session

Or just say it naturally:

agent chat 
what's going on
agent chat 
pick up where I left off

What Happens

  1. Fetch active issues: Pulls all issues currently in progress or blocked across your active projects
  2. Group by milestone: Organizes work by milestone and identifies which milestone is current (cloud tier; local tier groups issues by status)
  3. Present dashboard: Shows a status overview of where everything stands
  4. Suggest a starting point: Recommends what to pick up based on priority and context
  5. Check for stale issues: Flags issues that have gone quiet and may need attention

When to Use It

Run this at the start of every work session. It replaces the mental overhead of remembering where you left off. The dashboard gives you a clear picture and a suggested next step, so you can get moving without digging through your issue tracker.

Best Practices

  • Start every session here. It loads the full project context your AI assistant needs to help effectively
  • Address stale and blocked issues before starting new work
  • Pair with /wrap-session at the end to keep your state clean
