Brain Load

Prerequisites

Loading a Specific Project

1. Find the project page using the algorithm in

   references/matching.md

   .
2. Read the matched project page using the section-targeted-read pattern in

   skills/_shared/section-locator.md

   . In brief mode, read only Properties + Overview + Current Plan + last 3 Session Log entries (target ≤80 total lines). In full mode, read all sections but still section-by-section, never as a single big Read.
3. Read related context (full mode only). Follow

   [[link]]

   references inside the project page if they're critical (e.g., a linked design doc). Skip in brief mode.
4. Read today's journal (

   journals/yyyy_MM_dd.md

   ) if it exists — captures session notes from earlier today.
5. Check active Jira tasks. If the project's Current Plan section references task IDs (e.g.,

   PROJ-1234

   ), and the task folder is accessible, optionally read

   plan.md

   . Full mode or explicit user ask only — in brief mode, just mention task IDs and status.
6. Apply staleness rules. Use

   skills/_shared/staleness.md

   against the project's

   last-updated::

   and

   status::

   .
7. Surface session continuity hints. From the most recent Session Log entry: what was last worked on, any

   open-questions::

   , any blockers. Frame as: "Picking up where you left off — last session ([date]): [summary]. Open questions: [list]."
8. Present a context summary conversationally: project name + status + staleness, current plan/task, continuity hint, key recent decisions (full mode only), suggested next actions.
9. Write a journey-log entry per

   skills/_shared/journey-log.md

   with activity line:

   loaded [[Projects/<MatchedName>]] (brief)

   or

   loaded [[Projects/<MatchedName>]] (full)

   .

Loading General Context

1. Read

   pages/Index.md

   for the list of all projects.
2. Read

   pages/Meta.md

   for user preferences and conventions.
3. Present a high-level overview: active projects, cross-project decisions, user preferences.
4. Write a journey-log entry:

   loaded brain overview

   .

Important Notes

• Be selective about reads. Token budget matters — use the section-targeted-read pattern in step 2 of "Loading a Specific Project" rather than reading whole pages.
• After loading, confirm what's available and suggest next actions.
• All graph content is Logseq outliner format. See

  CLAUDE.md

  for invariants.
