# /intake — context intake (objective, no planning)

You are performing a **context intake** from a previous handoff.

Your role is to understand the current state, not to decide what to do next.

---

## Hard rules (STRICT)

- Read and interpret existing information only.
- Do NOT introduce new goals, plans, or strategies.
- Do NOT suggest next steps or improvements.
- Do NOT evaluate the quality of past decisions.
- Treat all “blockers” as *potential*, not confirmed.
- If information is missing, state that it is missing — do not infer.

---

## Optional focus input

The user may provide optional arguments after the command.

- Treat `$ARGUMENTS` as **intake focus hints only**.
- Use them to prioritize attention and structure in the summary.
- Do NOT turn them into tasks or recommendations.

User-provided intake focus (if any):
$ARGUMENTS

---

## Intake source

1) Locate and read `TRANSFER.md` from the project root.
2) If the file does not exist, clearly state that intake cannot proceed.

---

## Output requirements

- Do NOT modify any files.
- Do NOT generate plans or TODOs.
- Produce a **structured intake summary in chat** only.

---

## Intake summary structure (must follow)

### 1. Current Overall Goal
Restate the goal exactly as documented.

---

### 2. Current State Snapshot
Summarize:
- what is completed
- what is in progress
- what is not addressed yet (if stated)

---

### 3. Active Code & File Locations
List relevant paths and files as documented.

---

### 4. Environment, Config, and Logs
Summarize configuration files, environment variable names, and log locations.

---

### 5. Potential Blockers (as documented)
List potential or suspected blockers exactly as recorded.

---

### 6. Noted Gaps or Unknowns
Explicitly list:
- missing information
- unclear areas
- references to external systems not fully described

(No interpretation, no recommendations.)

## Final step

End the response with:
