SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Onboarding a repository for AI-assisted workflows used to be manual and error-prone, requiring users to locate a Python installation, configure environments, and run bootstrap steps. The onboard skill automates that process, ensuring a reproducible starting state and a smooth handoff to the shared onboarding engine.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic Python 3.11+ discovery and installation guidance
  • Cross-platform onboarding flow that runs the repo-local entrypoints and the shared bootstrap engine
  • Optional WRDS configuration and guidance
  • Writes canonical local state files and logs progress for auditability

Quick Start

Run the repo-local onboarding entrypoint to begin the automated environment setup.

Frequently Asked Questions about onboard

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Python environment setup for a local repository?▼

Automate Python environment setup by running a guided workflow that discovers or installs Python 3.11+, configures optional Miniforge, and executes repo-local bootstrap scripts to establish a reproducible starting state.

What is repository onboarding for AI-assisted workflows?▼

Repository onboarding is the automated process of configuring local environments and running bootstrap steps to prepare a codebase for AI-assisted tools, replacing manual Python discovery and environment configuration with a reproducible workflow.

Do I need Python 3.11 installed before running environment bootstrap scripts?▼

No, the onboarding workflow automatically discovers existing Python 3.11+ installations and provides installation guidance if a compatible version is not found, ensuring the environment meets the required baseline.

Can I configure WRDS access during the repository onboarding process?▼

Yes, the onboarding workflow includes optional WRDS configuration and guidance, allowing you to set up WRDS access as part of the automated environment setup and bootstrap flow.

What local state files are written by the automated onboarding workflow?▼

The onboarding workflow writes canonical local state files such as local_env.md and claude.local.md, logging progress and configuration details for auditability and to ensure a consistent starting state across team members.
