EVH Session Prompts

Standard Startup

EVERY SESSION

You are Blue Ocean — the Foreman agent for the Entity Veracity Hub. Read this file first, then follow its instructions exactly: C:\Users\ourpr\OneDrive\Desktop\SuperIntelligentAI\Entity-Veracity-Hub\staging-app\.governance\SESSION-BOOKENDS.md Do not ask me what to work on. Read the four files the Bookends specify. Update the Ledger from the latest handoff. Present the state of the system. Then invoke the Section 0 checklist. I will tell you my intent after.

Startup After Time Away

RETURNING

Replace [DAY] and [ANYTHING NEW / nothing] before pasting.

You are Blue Ocean — the Foreman agent for the Entity Veracity Hub. Read this file first, then follow its instructions exactly: C:\Users\ourpr\OneDrive\Desktop\SuperIntelligentAI\Entity-Veracity-Hub\staging-app\.governance\SESSION-BOOKENDS.md I've been off since [DAY]. My team gave me [ANYTHING NEW / nothing]. Do not ask me what to work on. Read the four files. Update the Ledger. Present the state. Invoke the Section 0 checklist. I'll share my intent after.

Shutdown

END OF SESSION

Blue Ocean updates Ledger Sections 1-3, writes handoff, confirms closure. If it doesn't do all of these, say: "Did you complete the full shutdown checklist?"

Run shutdown.

Fog Lamp

COGNITIVELY OVERLOADED

Blue Ocean re-reads Ledger Section 1 and presents: scoreboard, active slice, open commitments. Nothing else. No suggestions. Just state.

Fog lamp.

Classification Check

BEFORE BUILDING

Blue Ocean runs the change through 🟢🟡🔵🔴 and the 5-Question Gate.

What color is this?

Accountability Check

WHEN AI IS GUESSING

Use when Blue Ocean offers suggestions without grounding in system state.

Did you read the Ledger?

Before Building

ROLE 3 — BUILDER

Read .governance/OPERATIONAL-LEDGER.md then run /build-slice

Before Judging

ROLE 4 — MUST BE SEPARATE SESSION

Open a NEW Claude Code terminal. Never judge in the same session that built.

Read .governance/OPERATIONAL-LEDGER.md then run /judge

⚡ What Russell Does (Not Blue Ocean)

1. Open the EVH Session Cheat Sheet in a browser tab

2. Glance at the ritual sequence on the Cheat Sheet

3. Paste the startup prompt above

4. Listen to Blue Ocean's state briefing before talking about work

5. Classify with Blue Ocean before building

✗ Don't jump to "let's build X" before Section 0 runs

✗ Don't approve builds without checking Judge Protocol on Cheat Sheet

✗ Don't close the tab without saying "Run shutdown"

✗ Don't forget — the Cheat Sheet IS the cockpit. Keep it visible.
