How to start agent sessions with relevant prior work already loaded with Heimdall

Inject past project context into a new agent session so it skips the orientation loop.

Who it is forA developer who starts a fresh coding agent session on a project and wants it to know what was done before.

The problemA new agent session spends dozens of shell commands re-reading files it already saw last week.

The outcomeThe agent begins with relevant prior work in its first prompt and can answer with one kb_search call instead of many grep and ls commands.

What you need first

  • Node.js with npm, to run `npm i -g @arihantdeva/heimdall`
  • macOS or a Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora or Amazon Linux machine, with the build prerequisites listed in the README for the graft backend
  • git, because llama.cpp is cloned at first build
  • A supported agent harness: pi, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, or opencode

Steps

  1. npm i -g @arihantdeva/heimdall
  2. heimdall init --harness claude-code
  3. heimdall setup
  4. heimdall doctor
  5. Open a new agent session in the project folder and ask it to call kb_search on <topic> before it starts editing

Prompt for your agent

In the ArihantDeva/heimdall setup, start a session in <project-folder> and call kb_search on <topic> before any shell exploration. Expected output: a short list of prior work with verdicts and paths. Verify that the first useful action uses a STRONG hit or that the agent says a hit is WEAK.

Caveat. The README names only some harnesses as wired by `heimdall init`, and the exact injection behavior for each harness is not described in detail, so test it in your own harness before relying on it.
