What groove-utilities-prime does

groove-utilities-prime runs the shell script bash .agents/skills/groove-utilities-prime/scripts/groove-utilities-prime.sh and sends that script’s output to the conversation. It is intended for the start of every session, so the agent receives the project’s groove workflow context before work begins.

The skill itself does not write files. The script updates its own cache, then its standard output is shown as-is in the conversation. In Claude Code, installation uses npx skills add, and the installed file is placed at ~/.claude/skills/groove-utilities-prime/SKILL.md. The launch fails when .agents/skills/groove-utilities-prime/scripts/groove-utilities-prime.sh is missing from the project.

What it helps with

load groove context into a new session
run the project’s prime shell script
show workflow context to the agent
let the script update its cache

Example prompts for the agent

Start the session by running groove-utilities-prime and show the script output.
Load the groove workflow context before working on this task.
Run bash .agents/skills/groove-utilities-prime/scripts/groove-utilities-prime.sh and pass its output into the conversation.
