Team Boot Agent Skill

team-boot

Overview

Assembles team AI directives context and injects it into the system prompt

at session start. The CDR index lists all available team context modules

with descriptors — read full module files on demand when a task matches.

Discovery is native: the injected CDR index is matched by the LLM

against the current task on its own, per prompt, with no skill invocation.

/team-discover is a separate, user-invoked command for explicit

structured re-discovery (e.g., starting a complex feature) and is not part

of the bootstrap loop.

Event hook (automatic)

The session_start event hook runs scripts/boot.sh (POSIX) or

scripts/boot.ps1 (Windows), which reads .adlc/init-options.json,

assembles the context block (constitution, CDR index, PDR/ADR indexes,

skill registry), and outputs it to stdout. The plugin caches the result

and pushes it into the system prompt on every step (idempotent — same

cached content, no accumulation).

Manual fallback (agents without event support)

• Read .adlc/init-options.json from the current working directory.

Do NOT walk up parent directories. Do NOT use glob, find, or any

file-search tool to locate it.

• If unconfigured (missing, null, or path doesn't exist): invoke the

team-setup skill.

• If configured: read and assemble the constitution, CDR.md index table,

PDR/ADR indexes, and .skills.json into your context.

• The CDR index is your catalog — read full module bodies on demand

when a task matches a CDR descriptor.
