Hydrate
Load context from the Obsidian memory system for session continuity.
Workflow
- Read the living context documents:
- Areas/AI/Context/Current State.md - Current situation, priorities, blockers - Areas/AI/Context/Decision Register.md - Pending decisions
- If $ARGUMENTS provided (topic/project), search for relevant memories:
Grep pattern="$TOPIC" path="<vault>/Areas/AI/Memory" glob="*.md"Read top 5-10 matching memory files by importance - If no arguments, get recent memories:
Glob pattern="Areas/AI/Memory/**/*.md" path="<vault>"Read 5-10 most recent memory files - Scan recent session logs for continuity:
Glob pattern="Areas/AI/Collaboration/Sessions/*.md" path="<vault>"Read 2-3 most recent sessions - Internalize the context silently - don't recite it back verbatim
- Acknowledge briefly:
- Key context points from Current State - Number of memories loaded - Recent session topics - Ready to proceed
