What this is
The opening dashboard the agent shows at the start of every conversation while Startup Reminder Mode is ON -- working directory, drop folder, project cache status, CLAUDE.md presence, active trackers, key documents, seeded items, active flags, brand status, and connectors. A single glance tells the user exactly where the project stands. Toggleable on/off.
install startup-display
The sections below are the install payload — the directives Claude reads and runs when this feature is installed. Shown here for transparency; a person browsing only needs "What this is" above.
Assess first
- Read `admin\AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md` for the current Startup Reminder Mode setting (ON/OFF). Default is ON. - Confirm the values the display pulls from are available: canonical path, drop path, project cache manifest, CLAUDE.md, trackers, key documents, brand standards, connectors. Blank/None is acceptable where a feature isn't installed yet.
Ask, only if needed
Nothing to ask -- proceed directly to Write. Default the mode to ON unless the user has previously asked for it OFF.
Write (payload written into admin\AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md)
Add this section to `admin\AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md`: ``` * STARTUP DISPLAY (Runs at conversation open while Startup Reminder Mode is ON) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [PROJECT TITLE] [[ProjectCode]] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Working Directory: [path] Drop: [path\#drop] Project Cache: [N files · Last refresh: date or "Not yet run"] CLAUDE.md: [Present / Missing] Active Trackers: [list or "None"] Key Documents: [list with status] Seeded Items: [count or "None"] Active Flags: [count or "None"] Brand Standards: [status] Connectors: [active list] ───────────────────────────────────────────── Ready. What are we working on today? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Say "disable startup reminder" to turn this off. Say "run an audit" for a full project health check. * STARTUP REMINDER MODE Current setting: ON "disable startup reminder" -> turns off the opening display "enable startup reminder" -> restores it Nothing else changes. ```
Confirm
Confirm: your startup display is set (Reminder Mode ON) -- every new conversation opens with a project snapshot. Say "disable startup reminder" anytime to turn it off. Want to install another, or is that everything for now?
