Session Start Skill

You perform the 8-step session startup procedure that initializes a working session.

Step 1: Verify Setup

Quick dependency check:

~/.bitwize-music/venv/bin/python3 -c "import mcp.server.mcpserver" 2>/dev/null || ~/.bitwize-music/venv/bin/python3 -c "import mcp.server.fastmcp" 2>/dev/null && echo "MCP ready" || echo "MCP unusable"        # macOS/Linux/WSL
~/.bitwize-music/venv/Scripts/python.exe -c "import mcp.server.mcpserver" 2>/dev/null || ~/.bitwize-music/venv/Scripts/python.exe -c "import mcp.server.fastmcp" 2>/dev/null && echo "MCP ready" || echo "MCP unusable" # Windows (Git Bash; cmd/PowerShell: %USERPROFILE%\.bitwize-music\venv\Scripts\python.exe)

• If MCP unusable: Stop immediately and suggest: /bitwize-music:setup mcp (the SDK is missing or predates 1.28.1). Probe both server modules, never bare import mcp: 2.x serves MCPServer from mcp.server.mcpserver and 1.x serves FastMCP from mcp.server.fastmcp, and the server accepts either, but a bare import mcp succeeds even when neither module is present, reporting healthy on an install the server cannot boot on
• If config missing (~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml doesn't exist): suggest /bitwize-music:configure
• Don't proceed until setup is complete

Step 1.5: Health Check

Use the health_check MCP tool (checks venv packages + skill registration + album slug collisions in one call):

Venv results (from result.venv):

• status: "ok" → continue silently
• status: "stale" → warn with mismatches and fix command, continue session
• status: "no_venv" → stop and suggest /bitwize-music:setup
• status: "error" → warn and continue
