Hydrate

Load context from the Obsidian memory system for session continuity.

Workflow

1. •

   Read the living context documents:

   • •Areas/AI/Context/Current State.md - Current situation, priorities, blockers
   • •Areas/AI/Context/Decision Register.md - Pending decisions
2. •

   If $ARGUMENTS provided (topic/project), search for relevant memories:

   code

   Grep pattern="$TOPIC" path="<vault>/Areas/AI/Memory" glob="*.md"
   

   Read top 5-10 matching memory files by importance

3. •

   If no arguments, get recent memories:

   code

   Glob pattern="Areas/AI/Memory/**/*.md" path="<vault>"
   

   Read 5-10 most recent memory files

4. •

   Scan recent session logs for continuity:

   code

   Glob pattern="Areas/AI/Collaboration/Sessions/*.md" path="<vault>"
   

   Read 2-3 most recent sessions

5. •

   Internalize the context silently - don't recite it back verbatim

6. •

   Acknowledge briefly:

   • •Key context points from Current State
   • •Number of memories loaded
   • •Recent session topics
   • •Ready to proceed
