COMMENTS
This is to the tribonacci sequence as A055502 is to the Fibonacci sequence (i.e. least prime greater than the sum of the previous 2 terms in A055502, least prime greater than the sum of the previous 3 terms in this sequence).
The first 9 positive terms are also elements of A089189 but that coincidence breaks down as a(10) = 617 is a prime p, but p-1 = 616 = 2^3 * 7 * 11 is not cubefree.

FORMULA
a(0) = 0, a(1) = 2, for n>2: a(n) = smallest prime > a(n-1)+a(n-2)+a(n-3).
MATHEMATICA
a[0] = 0; a[1] = 2; a[2] = 3; a[n_] := a[n] = NextPrime[a[n-1] + a[n-2] + a[n-3]]; Array[a, 40, 0] (* Amiram Eldar, Sep 24 2023 *)
