Brownfield onboarding generates structured documentation including project overview, architecture analysis, and improvement recommendations in a single workflow. Run the skill against your existing codebase to produce actionable artifacts in .onboard/ that accelerate team understanding during handoffs or modernization efforts.

Architecture analysis within brownfield onboarding maps your technical stack, architectural patterns, and design decisions into a single .onboard/architecture.md file. This provides teams with a shared reference during discovery, audit, and modernization phases without manual reverse-engineering.

Yes. Brownfield onboarding evaluates testing maturity, CI/CD pipeline readiness, and identifies design flaws with improvement suggestions. It outputs guardrail reports that surface technical debt and automation gaps for stakeholder review.

Brownfield onboarding is designed for initial project handoffs, technical audits, and modernization efforts. Run it when joining a legacy project to reduce time-to-productivity by generating a structured onboarding package with discovery, architecture, and quality insights upfront.

Code discovery analyzes project structure and purpose to generate an overview document. Combined with architecture and design assessment, it creates a complete discovery artifact that helps new team members understand codebase organization and intent without manual exploration.
