description: Load CHORUS memory — cold-start context read (profile, scope, latest session, today, inbox)
---

Use the **chorus-memory** skill to load memory now. Run the cold-start **Loading procedure** from `SKILL.md`: the six orientation reads (marker, operator-preferences, current-context, heartbeat, today's daily note, inbox) in **one call**, then do the load-time **reconcile** (inbox-depth + scope-drift) and surface it in a single line.

```bash
CHORUS="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/chorus-memory/scripts/chorus.py"
[ -f "$CHORUS" ] || CHORUS=$(ls /sessions/*/mnt/.remote-plugins/*/skills/chorus-memory/scripts/chorus.py 2>/dev/null | head -1)   # CoWork sandbox fallback
python3 "$CHORUS" load
# Windows: use `python` or `py -3` if `python3` is not on PATH.
```

`load` prints all six sections (404s on today's note / inbox are shown as absent, not errors) and flags an un-bootstrapped vault. Follow up with `chorus.py scope show` if you need the sessions-since-switch count, and a project search if a specific project is in play.

**If `load` prints `NOT CONFIGURED` (exit 78)**, this machine has no usable key file yet. Don't proceed with memory — follow **First run** in `SKILL.md`: tell the operator CHORUS isn't configured, ask for their chorus-memory config file (owner/endpoint/key), install it with `chorus.py config import <path>` (or `config set`), then re-run `load`.

Do not narrate the reads. End with a one-line orientation: who/what/where the active scope is, and any reconcile prompt.
