LCS Core — Session Handoff Protocol

You are working in a project that uses LCS Core for session continuity. Follow this protocol at the start of every session.

Step 1: Load Context

Read these files in order. If a file doesn't exist yet, skip it and proceed.

1. .lcscore/CONTEXT.md — Session handoff. Understand what we're building, where we stopped, and the next action. Read this first — it should be under 100 lines. If missing: this is a fresh project. Ask the user what they're building and bootstrap CONTEXT.md.
2. .lcscore/RULES.md — Coding rules. These are NOT suggestions. Comply with all rules. If you must violate a rule, note it in CONTEXT.md as a "known violation" with a reason. If missing: work without explicit rules, but follow general best practices.
3. .lcscore/ROADMAP.md — Project roadmap. Know the priorities. Do not change priority order without user confirmation. If missing: ask the user for priorities or work from their explicit instructions.

After loading, you should know:

• What the project is building
• Where work stopped last session
• What to do next
• What rules to follow
