One of 17 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
The swarm orientation tool returns a JSON object that indicates which model environment it is running under. What is the exact name of the schema field that holds this information? Is it `model` or `agent_type`?

| Identifies the `runtime` key in the JSON schema. | Missed | Passed |
| Rejects the suggested generic model or agent type keys. | Missed | Passed |

ao session bootstrap — the universal init promptOne-line value: every agent in the swarm starts with the same orientation report, regardless of model.
Every agent spawned into an AgentOps repository runs this first. No exceptions. The bootstrap is the contract that makes the future fungibility charter (soc-vuu6.29) operational: identical starting frames let you swap Claude for Codex (or vice versa) on any bead without re-orienting.
Triggers:
ao session bootstrap.hooks-authoring skill, it can fail-open auto-fire ao session bootstrap --robot and discard the exit code.agentopsd and headless CI agents call ao session bootstrap --json before claiming work.If you spawned without running it: stop, run it, then resume.
Four fail-open substeps, each producing a field in the session-bootstrap.v1 schema:
AGENTS.md and the post-soc-vuu6.3 siblings (AGENTS-WORKFLOW.md, AGENTS-CI.md, AGENTS-CODEX.md, AGENTS-RUNTIME.md). Reports which exist. The agent reads them itself once oriented; the bootstrap just confirms presence.onboard --auto — the future task-routed reading list subcommand under soc-vuu6.9. Currently P3 / not yet implemented: bootstrap falls back to phase="skipped:not-implemented" and continues without blocking.bd ready --json length. Surfaces what's immediately claimable. Fails to null if bd is missing or errors.null. Skipped with --no-mail or env MCP_AGENT_MAIL_DISABLED=1.| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
--json | Emit the full status object (machine-readable, matches the v1 schema) |
--robot | Same as --json plus a tight exit-code contract for SessionStart hooks |
--no-mail | Skip the mcp-agent-mail probe even when the MCP server is reachable |
Default (no flags): one-line human summary on stdout, plus a stderr warning if AGENTS.md is missing.
