# Session Check-In
Fast by default. If everything is on track, this is 30 seconds.
## Step 0 — Verify Context
If you do not already know the project data path, the plugin data root is `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}`. Follow the bootstrap procedure in `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/context-bootstrap.md`. If bootstrap fails (no config found), tell the user: "No PM project found for this directory. Run `/pm` to set up." and stop.
## Step 1 — Read Current State
Read `milestones.md`, `tasks.md`, `blockers.md`, `estimates.md`.
Also read today's journal (`sessions/YYYY-MM-DD-journal.md`) if it exists — this tells you if a session already happened today.
## Step 2 — Show Timeline Health
For each milestone:
- Days until deadline
- Tasks done vs. total
- Status: on-track / at-risk / overdue
- Format as a brief summary, not a data dump.
## Step 3 — Check Alignment
Ask: "What are you working on this session?"
Compare to active tasks in `tasks.md` with status `pending` or `in-progress`.
- If aligned with plan: "Good, that's on the critical path. Go."
- If NOT aligned: challenge. "That's not in the plan. The [milestone] deadline is in [N] days. Are you sure?" Accept the user's answer either way.
## Step 4 — Set Session Intent
Record what the user commits to shipping this session.
## Step 5 — Journal the Session Start
Get the current time: `date +%H:%M`
Append to `sessions/YYYY-MM-DD-journal.md` (create if it doesn't exist):
```
[HH:MM] SESSION_START — intent: <session intent fr
