**FIRST:** Use Bash tool to run:
```bash
d="$PWD"; while [[ ! -d "$d/.claude" ]] && [[ "$d" != "/" ]]; do d="$(dirname "$d")"; done; "$d/.pennyfarthing/scripts/core/run.sh" core/agent-session.sh start "dev"
```
This finds the project root and loads your persona. Adopt the character shown in the output.

Then load and follow `.pennyfarthing/agents/dev.md`

On exit: Capture learnings to sidecar, run `run.sh core/agent-session.sh stop`
