What is the primary purpose of the sc-startup skill?

It serves as a thin orchestration layer to automate the 'startup' phase of development, handling repetitive tasks like syncing checklists and cleaning up the workspace.

How do I customize the startup behavior?

You can customize the skill by editing the .claude/sc-startup.yaml file in your repository root to enable or disable specific agents and prompts.

What happens if one of the startup agents fails?

The skill is designed with a best-effort flow; it will not abort on agent errors or timeouts but will instead report the failure in a structured status object for your review.

Is it safe to run sc-startup on a sensitive codebase?

Yes, the skill includes a --readonly flag that forces report-only mode, and it requires explicit configuration for any mutating actions like PR fixes or worktree cleanup.
