# Start Orienting, not working. Do not edit code or memory during this — the job is to find out where things stand and agree what happens next, and a clean session has no conversation history to fall back on, only what this skill reads. See `agent-memory` for what a note, an index, and evidence mean; this skill only says which of them to open and in what order. ## Order 1. **Identify the half the task belongs to.** Halves are directories under the configured memory directory (`memory_dir` in `.floppy/config`) — this skill does not hardcode their names. Which words route to which half is the consumer's own knowledge, kept in their own `AGENTS.md` (or equivalent), not here. If the task doesn't name a half clearly, ask which one in a single short question rather than guessing. A freshly initialized repository has no halves yet — everything lives flat under the memory directory, one `MEMORY.md` and nothing to choose between. That is not a dead end and not a question to ask: skip this step and open `MEMORY.md` directly. Splitting into halves is worth doing once the memory has grown enough to need routing, not before. 2. **Read the current-state file whole.** Its path is `statuses_now` in `.floppy/config` (a repository default such as `docs/statuses/NOW.md`). It is rewritten in place, so it answers "what's true right now" without needing history. It holds what is true about the **project**: frozen decisions, what is red, what waits on
