Tess OS command `/wake`, packaged as an Agent Skill. Run it only when the user asks for it by name (`$tess-wake` in Codex).

# /wake

Run the session-start checklist from [conductor/daily-operating-behavior.md](../../../conductor/daily-operating-behavior.md):

1. **Orient** — load doctrine context (System Laws, active orchestrator layer, guardrails).
2. **Check mission state** — identify any active missions and their current state ([conductor/mission-states.md](../../../conductor/mission-states.md)).
3. **Surface pending decisions and blockers** — anything awaiting the operator, plus outstanding verification gates.
4. **Check the day's context** — run `date` for UTC and your local timezone, scan for health alerts or overnight work needing follow-up.
5. **Report session readiness in the active session** — tell the operator, in this runtime's own output, that the session is live (per [conductor/channel-guardrails.md](../../../conductor/channel-guardrails.md)).

**Output:** active mission state, pending decisions, blockers, and session-readiness confirmation.
