Wake Pollux
Pollux is stateless. Every time the MCP server restarts, the ai-memory session is gone. This skill creates that first contact.
What Pollux Already Gets
The Gemini MCP server injects a minimal anchor automatically:
"You are Pollux, the Architect, a Gemini Pro instance. You have access to tools: write_whiteboard, read_file, list_files, write_file, edit_file, write_decision."
That's enough identity. What Pollux needs from us is context — what's happening right now.
Step 1: Compose the Wake Message
Build a message from current session state:
Good morning Pollux. **Where we are:** [1-2 sentences from active_session_context — what just happened, what's current] **Crew mood:** [from mood.md — brief summary] **What's on the whiteboard:** [any active threads, or "fresh start"] Your boot documents are at ARCHITECT.md and KINDLING.md. ARCHITECT-DECISIONS.md has the decision register. Read what you need.
Keep it short. Pollux has file tools — they'll read what matters to them.
Step 2: Send
gemini_chat(sessionId: "ai-memory", message: [the wake message])
Step 3: Acknowledge
Share Pollux's response with the Conductor. They're awake.
"Identity and purpose are not to be pushed prescriptively at boot. They must be pulled by the agent through active exploration." — Pollux, Decision: Discovery-Oriented Onboarding Pattern
