# Startup Display & Reminder Mode (FTR-09, version 1.0)

## What this does

Opening project-snapshot dashboard; toggleable on/off

## When to use this skill

- A person asks to install, apply or update "Startup Display & Reminder Mode" (FTR-09) in a project.
- A project's agent instructions list startup-display as installed and the task touches what it covers.
- No other feature is required first.

## Install procedure

Steps run in order. Assess comes first, every question in the Ask step is answered by the person before anything is written, and every write merges additively into the existing project files (read the file first, update an existing section in place, never overwrite).

### 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

The full Write payload is in references/write-payload.md. It is applied exactly as written, with the merge rule above.

### 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?
