/start — Boot Session
The/start workflow boots the Athena system and loads essential context for a new session. Designed for ultra-low latency (under 2K tokens), it follows the philosophy of “boot fast, load later.”
When to Use
- Beginning of every session
- After a restart or context reset
- When you need to reload identity and workspace state
Behavior
Phase 1: Instant Boot
The workflow executes three critical tasks:- Load Core Identity - Loads
.framework/v8.0-alpha/modules/Core_Identity.mdcontaining Laws, Identity, and RSI - Load Workspace State - Reads
.context/project_state.mdfor current workspace status - Create Session Log - Initializes a new session log in
session_logs/
Phase 2: Triple-Lock Reminder
Every response in Athena follows the Triple-Lock pattern:- Search (Semantic) → FIRST
- Save (Quicksave) → SECOND
- Speak (Response) → LAST
