Session Start Prompts
Paste one of these at the start of a conversation to orient Claude before describing your task. Pick the variant that matches the surface and how much context you need.
Standard (claude.ai web — Projects with Graphiti MCP)
Before I describe the task: search Graphiti for context relevant to [project/topic].
State what you already know — key facts, recent decisions, active work — in 3–5 bullet points.
Then wait for my task description.
Quick (when you just want Graphiti queried, no preamble)
Search Graphiti for: [topic]. Summarise what you find in bullets, then I'll describe the task.
Claude Code CLI (already has CLAUDE.md + auto-memory, but for a fresh angle)
Check MEMORY.md and search Graphiti for context on [project].
State what you already know before I describe the task.
Desktop / browser (no Graphiti MCP, no Project instructions)
I'm Tim Evans. I'm working on [project]. Key context:
- GitHub: slaguru666
- FoundryVTT system: zero-engine (SLA Industries, YZE, v1.6.x)
- Infrastructure: self-hosted Docker stack on 77.68.99.134 — Gitea, Semaphore, Jenkins, Caddy, Graphiti
- Working style: smallest correct change, verify before asserting, no speculative features
[Paste any relevant excerpt from the appropriate projects/*.md file here if needed]
Now: [describe task]
Notes
- On claude.ai inside a Project: the Project instructions already carry most context — just use the Quick variant.
- On claude.ai outside a Project: use the Desktop variant and paste relevant domain context from
projects/*.md. - Graphiti is only queryable where the MCP connector is live (claude.ai web, Claude Code CLI).
