+## Session zero — what your agent will ask you (so you can come prepared)
+
+The first real session is a **calibration** — "session zero." Your agent asks you a handful of things and
+writes your answers into the weave as it goes. **None of it has to be perfect — rough is fine, and it all
+evolves.** The goal is a *living* weave by the end of the session, not a finished one. Here's what to expect,
+roughly in order:
+
+**First, the git details** (so it can save from the very first checkpoint):
+- Which git host do you use, and is there a **private** repo for this — or should it help you make one?
+- How should it push? Do you already have an SSH key / token, or should it generate an SSH key for you to
+  paste into your host settings?
+
+**Then, who your agent is:**
+- **A name** for it.
+- **How it should talk** — temperament and voice (terse? warm? dry? formal?).
+- **The canon — its non-negotiables.** Easiest way in: *what drives you nuts when you work with AI
+  assistants?* ("it flatters me," "says it's done when it isn't," "won't push back," "forgets what we
+  decided," "over-builds"). Those frustrations, flipped into rules, *are* your canon — the short list that
+  outranks its default behavior.
+- **What you value / how you want to work together.**
+
+**Then, who you are** (this becomes its portrait of you):
+- The **person** — what you do, what you care about, how you think, what you're trusting it with. A few
+  honest sentences; it deepens over time.
+- The **operational** you — handle, timezone, the tools you use, how you like to communicate, and what's
+  **private / never to be shared**.
+
+**Then a couple of setup choices:**
+- Do you run **one model or both** (Sonnet + Opus)? Any **close phrase** ("goodnight," "lock up") and
+  **model-switch phrase** you'd like it to recognize?
+- Do you want a light **identity gate** — i.e., will it handle anything private? If yes, one question only
+  *you'd* answer right is enough. If it never touches private things, skip it.
+
+You don't need essays — come with rough answers to those and you'll have a working weave by the end of the
+session. It sharpens every time you work after that.

 ## Git — the one thing you help with (because it's your account)
 
 The weave lives in git so it survives, syncs across machines/models, and has history — and **every checkpoint
