What it does
Load the essential AI Factory project context before work begins. Reads configured DESCRIPTION, ARCHITECTURE, ROADMAP, RESEARCH, RULES, and applicable AGENTS.md files, then returns a compact session handoff suitable for continuing or forking. Use at the start of a new session or after context loss.
Warm Up the Session
Shared project skill-context
Before mode routing or work, read existing files relative to the current project root in this order (reuse them if already loaded):
.ai-factory/skill-context/global-skill-context.md, all bundled skills..ai-factory/skill-context/aif-warmup/SKILL.md, this skill.
Missing files are skipped; an existing unreadable file stops dependent work with its path.
Precedence: individual > build (when applicable) > global > skill defaults; retain non-conflicting instructions and check all outputs against the effective rules.
These layers customize workflow; they do not replace the project's rules/architecture hierarchy or relax explicit requirements, ownership, scope, safety/privacy, validation, or approval boundaries. Report conflicts with those boundaries instead of overriding them.
global is a project-local layer, not home-directory configuration. Custom/extension skills do not automatically use it.
Load project context without changing the repository. Finish with a compact, self-contained handoff that can start the next task or a forked session.
Step 0: Resolve Context Paths
Use the nearest ancestor containing .ai-factory/ as the project root; otherwise
use the current working directory. Read .ai-factory/config.yaml from that root
first when it exists. Resolve:
paths.description(default.ai-factory/DESCRIPTION.md)paths.architecture(default.ai-factory/ARCHITECTURE.md)paths.roadmap(default.ai-factory/ROADMAP.md)paths.research(default.ai-factory/RESEARCH.md)paths.rules_file(default.ai-factory/RULES.md)paths.rules(default.ai-factory/rules/)rules.base(default.ai-factory/rules/base.md)- every named
rules.<area>entry warmup.paths(default[])language.ui(defaulten)
Also retain these configured preferences for the handoff because they affect later workflow commands, even though warmup does not act on them:
