# script: start-claude

**Location:** `scripts/start-claude`
**Symlinked to:** `~/sbin/start-claude`

## Purpose

Wrapper that runs `context-load` and passes the result to the `claude` CLI via `--append-system-prompt`. This is the standard way to launch a Claude Code session with full project context.

## Usage

```bash
start-claude [claude args...]
```

All arguments are forwarded to `claude`. If `context-load` produces no output, `claude` is launched without the extra system prompt.

## How it works

1. Locates `context-load` in the same directory as itself
2. Runs it and captures stdout
3. If non-empty, passes it as `--append-system-prompt` to `claude`
4. Uses `exec` so the wrapper doesn't linger as a parent process
