# Keep why autostart examples

## Contract

| Field | Bound contract |
|---|---|
| Trigger | User asks to make skill/knowledge activation more reliable in their agent tool, or first-run wizard reaches the activation-reliability question. |
| Authority | Reversible local: writes only named local hook configuration artifacts; rollback is undo. No remote mutation. |
| Side effect | Project-scoped activation hook configured. Reference implementation: Claude Code SessionStart hook that injects a reminder only when a `keep-the-why:config` marker is present, measured 0/10 to 10/10 on affected eval cases. |
| Done | Activation measured improved via before/after eval on affected cases; hook scoped by config-marker presence (not unconditional); honest limits stated for tools without a hook mechanism. |

## Inputs

1. **Agent platform** (required): the agent tool whose activation mechanism is being improved (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf). Must be supplied.
