Can I use this skill mid-session?

While designed for session startup, you can trigger it anytime you need a 'status check' or overview of what you should work on next.

What files does the Session Initialization skill check?

It primarily checks Git status, Plans.md for task tracking, AGENTS.md for role definitions, and session logs for continuity.

What happens if I don't have a Plans.md file?

The skill will identify the missing file and suggest running an initialization command like /harness-init to set up the recommended project structure.

Does this skill modify my code automatically?

No, it is a diagnostic and reporting tool. It identifies the state of your project and suggests the next steps without performing destructive actions.
