# Source Bash Reminder

**Status:** ACTIVE  
**Until:** Casey reboots the machine (currently ~30 days uptime)  
**Reason:** Environment variables not loading properly without explicit bash sourcing

## The Rule

For EVERY Bash tool call, prepend `source ~/.bashrc &&` or use `bash -c "source ~/.bashrc && <command>"`

## Why

- Something in the shell environment isn't initializing correctly
- Requires reboot to fix, but Casey doesn't want to reboot today
- May reboot tomorrow

## Examples

Instead of:
```bash
curl http://example.com
```

Do:
```bash
source ~/.bashrc && curl http://example.com
```

Or:
```bash
bash -c "source ~/.bashrc && curl http://example.com"
```

## Check before each Bash call

Ask: "Have I sourced bash?" If not, do it.
