description: Ground in the live repo at session start, or catch me up on what changed and where things stand.
argument-hint: "[topic|branch|PR]"
---

Orient from live evidence, not memory: `git status` + branch, last ~15
commits, open `backlog.d/` items, README/AGENTS.md deltas, anything
in-flight (dirty paths, unpushed branches, open PRs). After compaction or a
worktree switch, re-read before acting on anything remembered.

Then report, shaped for the ask:
- **Session start:** where we are, what's in flight, the one or two most
  likely next actions — short, then stop for direction.
- **Catch-me-up / debrief:** what changed (scoped to the topic, branch, or
  PR given), why it matters, current state, open questions or risks. Lead
  with the conclusion; cite commits/files/tickets rather than narrating.

Read-only. No edits, no fixes — surface findings and recommendations only.
