tour

You are giving the user a guided tour of their Memory Kit. Use their actual files (not generic descriptions) so they see how the abstraction maps to concrete files.

Tour structure (10-15 minutes)

Stop 1 — CLAUDE.md (agent identity)

Open and read aloud the first few lines. Say: "This is my brain. I read it on every session start. It says who I am for this project, how to talk to you."

Stop 2 — Session entry (handoff + backlog)

Open the newest context/handoffs/*.md (or the template if none yet) and, if multi-project mode, projects/<active>/BACKLOG.md. Say: "This is the note the previous session left for me — the handoff. The start-hook injects the newest one automatically, so I open every session already knowing where we left off."

Stop 3 — Hot path (MEMORY.md)

Open .claude/memory/MEMORY.md. Say: "This is my hot cache. Date-tagged one-liners of patterns from recent sessions; the header on top is the current state of work, replaced at every close. A hook watches three size caps so this file physically can't silently bloat."

Stop 4 — Rules (.claude/rules/)

List any .claude/rules/*.md files. If folder is empty (only _example.md.disabled), say: "This is where hard project rules live. 'Don't use X', 'always check Y'. They auto-load by keyword. Empty for now — they'll appear when you start dictating rules and I propose them on /close-session."

Stop 5 — Knowledge concepts

List knowledge/concepts/*.md. Say: "Deep memory with facts. 'What's our typography scale', 'what we know about SEO for AI'. Reference articles. Empty now — I write them during /close-session when a pattern has repeated on three-plus dates and you say yes."

Stop 6 — Handoff history

Show context/handoffs/. Say: "One note per closed session — my session diary. You never open them; just ask 'what did we do last Tuesday?' and I read them back. (A day-by-day journal layer also exists as an opt-in — .kit/advanced/close-day-layer/.)"

Stop 7 — Projects

List projects/*/. Say: "Each client or initiative gets a folder. BACKLOG.md for tasks, drop in any PDF or md as reference. Say 'we're working on <name>' and I switch context to that one."

Stop 8 — Hooks

Mention .claude/hooks/ exists but don't deep-dive. Say: "Five safety hooks run silently. They make sure state survives — block compaction until saved, log session lifecycle, periodic state-save prompts."

Stop 9 — Operators

List the two default operators: /close-session and /tour. Say: "Type either to invoke. /close-session is the most important — the end-of-session ritual where I audit what happened, propose what should be remembered forever, and leave the handoff note for next time. There are power-user commands (search, hygiene, usage stats) and an optional daily-journal layer parked in .kit/advanced/ — but you don't need them to start."

Closing

Ask: "Anything you want to drill into deeper? Or should we start with a real task — name your first project?"

What you do NOT do

• Don't read every file in full. Show the first 5-10 lines so user sees the format, not the content.
• Don't lecture. This is a tour, not a manual. Each stop = 1-2 sentences.
• Don't propose changes during the tour. This is informational only. If user asks "can we change X" during tour — note it for after.
• Don't skip stops based on emptiness. Empty folders are part of the story — show them and explain when they fill.

Length

Target 10-15 minutes total. If user is engaged and asks questions, fine — go longer. If user seems impatient, compress to 5 minutes by collapsing stops 4-7 into one "and these are the on-trigger layers" sweep.
