What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Use at the start of /research and other workflow recipes to establish vault grounding. Loads vault bootstrap (profile.md), checks inbox, and pre-warms project context if a topic anchor is implied. Repo/git detection lands with /plan and /implement.

Load Context

Call this once at the start of a workflow recipe to establish working context. In /research, this is the vault grounding pre-step — it loads the context that informs downstream web queries.

Steps

Call mcp__dossier-mcp__get_vault_context. This loads profile.md silently — do not summarize or recite it.
Call mcp__dossier-mcp__list_notes(path: "inbox"). If the inbox is non-empty, surface a one-line nudge to the user: Inbox has N notes — worth processing before we start?
If the user has supplied a research topic with a clear project anchor (e.g. "relocation healthcare costs" → projects/relocation), call mcp__dossier-mcp__list_notes(path: "projects/<slug>") to pre-warm topic context. Skip if no anchor is obvious — vault-researcher will find what it needs.

Output

No structured return value. Context loads into the conversation. The recipe continues to its next step.
