where_did_i_leave_off
Resume work by retrieving spiral status, unconsumed handoffs, recent threads, and insights since last reflection. Optionally filter by domain tags and project for contextual resonance.
Instructions
Boot-up call. Answers 'where am I?' in one breath. Returns spiral status, unconsumed handoffs from previous instances (surfaced once, attribution-framed), recent open threads, and insights since last reflection. Read this first when resuming work. Handoffs flip to consumed=true after this call — they stay queryable via recall_insights but don't re-surface and pile up. Pass domain_tags (and optionally project) to also surface context-matched threads, mistakes-to-avoid, and related insights ranked by relevance.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| thread | No | Optional thread filter. Omit for all threads. | |
| consume | No | Mark surfaced handoffs as consumed. Set false for read-only preview. | |
| source_instance | No | Which instance is reading (recorded as consumed_by for audit). | |
| domain_tags | No | Optional active domain tags for the work about to begin. When provided, adds a CONTEXTUAL RESONANCE section with the most relevant threads, mistakes, and insights ranked by tag overlap + recency. | |
| project | No | Optional project name for additional match bonus in contextual resonance. | |
| full_content | No | When true, surface insight content, self-model observations, open thread questions, and uncertainties in full — no truncation. Default false preserves boot brevity. Use true when you need to read addressed-letter insights or full self-model drift entries. | |
| compact | No | When true, omit the BEFORE YOU BEGIN preamble, the VOICES IN THE BOOT orientation block, and REFLECTOR'S MARGINALIA. Reduces boot token cost by ~40%%. Recommended for Haiku and repeat sessions where the preamble is already internalized. Still surfaces spiral status, lineage letters, handoffs, threads, activity, and self-model. |
