Add First Session Protocol to project CLAUDE.md template
When get_state_summary() shows no workstreams for the domain, Claude now has explicit instructions: read the canon charter + roadmap, survey the repo for in-progress work, propose 1-3 workstreams to Bernd, wait for approval, then create workstreams + tasks and record a milestone. The "wait for approval before creating anything" gate keeps the human in control while making the expected first-session behaviour unambiguous.

### First Session Protocol
|
||||
|
||||
Triggered when `get_state_summary()` shows **no workstreams** for the `{DOMAIN}` topic.
|
||||
This means the project is registered but work has not yet been structured.
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 1 — Understand the project (read, don't write)**
|
||||
- `canon/projects/{DOMAIN}/project_charter_v0.1.md` — purpose, scope, success criteria
|
||||
- `canon/projects/{DOMAIN}/roadmap_v0.1.md` — planned phases
|
||||
- Scan the repo root: README, directory structure, any existing code or docs
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 2 — Survey in-progress work**
|
||||
- Look for TODOs, open branches, half-finished files, or notes
|
||||
- Note what is already done vs. what is clearly started but incomplete
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 3 — Propose workstreams to Bernd**
|
||||
Based on what you found, propose 1–3 workstreams. Each workstream should be:
|
||||
- A coherent strand of work lasting weeks to months (not a single task)
|
||||
- Named clearly enough that its scope is obvious
|
||||
- Anchored to a phase in the roadmap if possible
|
||||
|
||||
Present the proposals and **wait for approval before creating anything**.
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 4 — Create and populate (after approval)**
|
||||
```
|
||||
create_workstream(topic_id="{TOPIC_ID}", title="...", owner="...", description="...")
|
||||
create_task(workstream_id="<id>", title="...", priority="high|medium|low")
|
||||
# repeat for each task in the workstream
|
||||
```
|
||||
Aim for 3–7 tasks per workstream at this stage. Tasks should be concrete and actionable.
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 5 — Record the setup**
|
||||
```
|
||||
add_progress_event(
|
||||
summary="First session: structured {DOMAIN} work into N workstreams, M tasks",
|
||||
event_type="milestone",
|
||||
topic_id="{TOPIC_ID}",
|
||||
detail={"workstreams": [...], "tasks_created": M}
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
