SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

New contributors need a fast, reliable way to verify their development environment, understand the BotAssist codebase, and know the first steps to begin work, without manually inspecting each requirement.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Checks for required tools (Python, Node, Git, Claude Code) and project-specific dependencies (backend virtual environment, frontend node_modules).
  • Summarizes the CLAUDE.md guide, displays the project directory layout, lists API routes, and enumerates all available Claude skills.
  • Provides a concrete first‑task suggestion based on the current setup status, helping developers move quickly from onboarding to active development.

Quick Start

Run the /onboard command to verify your environment, receive a project overview, and get your first task recommendation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check my development environment for a new project?

To check your development environment for a new project, you can run an automated onboarding check that validates required tools like Python, Node, Git, and Claude Code, along with project-specific dependencies such as virtual environments and node_modules.

What is the fastest way to onboard a new contributor to an existing codebase?

The fastest way to onboard a new contributor is to run an automated orientation command that verifies environment setup, summarizes the project guide, lists the directory structure and API routes, and suggests a concrete first task.

How do I get a project overview and list all API routes quickly?

To get a project overview and list API routes quickly, use an onboarding skill that reads the CLAUDE.md guide, displays the project directory layout, and enumerates all available backend routes and Claude skills in one output.

Do I need Python and Node installed to set up this development environment?

Yes, you need Python and Node installed to set up this development environment. The onboarding process specifically checks for these tools, alongside Git and Claude Code, to ensure all backend and frontend dependencies are present.

What should I do after verifying my local environment setup is correct?

After verifying your local environment setup is correct, you should review the suggested first-task recommendation provided by the onboarding check, which helps you transition immediately from environment validation to active development.
