Prime - Project Context Loader
When this skill is invoked, IMMEDIATELY output the banner below before doing anything else. Pick ONE tagline at random — vary your choice each time. CRITICAL: Reproduce the banner EXACTLY character-for-character. The first line of the art has 4 leading spaces — you MUST preserve them.

Load project context to inform agent decisions. Raw file contents stay in a subagent — the primary thread only sees a structured PRIME_REPORT.
Step 1: Parse Arguments
Extract domain hints from the request (comma-separated). These are directory names or topic keywords to focus the context scan on. If no domain specified, load core context only (CLAUDE.md, README, specs/).
Step 2: Load Context via Subagent
Launch a general-purpose subagent to read files and build the report:
Task(
subagent_type: "general-purpose",
description: "Load and summarise project context",
prompt: <see below>
)
Subagent Prompt
Load project context and return a structured summary. Raw file contents must
NOT appear in the report — summarise only.
Limit PRIME_REPORT to 30 lines maximum.
## Core Files (always load)
1. CLAUDE.md — Project conventions, architecture, instructions
2. README.md — Project overview, setup, usage
3. specs/ — Project specifications and roadmap (scan directory if present)
4. docs/ — Documentation directory (scan if present)
If a file is missing, record as NOT FOUND and continue.
## Domain Files
{For each requested domain hint, use Glob to find relevant files:}
- Search for directories matching the hint name (e.g., "auth" → src/auth/, lib/auth/)
- Search for files matching *{hint}*.md, *{hint}*.yaml, *{hint}*.json
- Read the most relevant matches (max 5 files per domain)
For each file:
- If it exists: read and summarise (2-3 lines max per domain)
- If it doesn't exist: record as NOT FOUND and continue
## Output Format
PRIME_REPORT:
- core_files_loaded: {count}/{total}
- missing_files: {list or "none"}
- domains_loaded: {list}
- per_domain_summary:
- {domain}: {2-3 line summary}
- branch: {current branch from git branch --show-current}
- ready_for: {inferred from loaded context}
Step 3: Present Summary
Parse PRIME_REPORT and present a clean summary to the user:
┌─ Prime · Report ───────────────────────────────
│
│ ✅ Context loaded
│
│ 📚 Core: {count}/{total} files loaded
│ 🌐 Branch: {branch}
│
│ 📝 Domains
│ {domain}: {2-3 line summary}
│ {domain}: {2-3 line summary}
│
│ ⚠️ Missing: {list or "none"}
│
│ 🎯 Ready to assist with: {ready_for}
│
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────
If CLAUDE.md was missing, warn the user and note that only domain context was loaded.
