What problem does it solve?
It removes the guesswork for new contributors by generating a clear, role-specific onboarding document that summarizes the project’s current state, architecture, conventions, and priorities.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Project context loading: Reads the main CLAUDE.md overview and (optionally) a matching role definition from .claude/agents to align the onboarding with how the project expects work to be done.
- Targeted area scanning: Scans the most relevant directories for the specified role/area (e.g., src/, design/, design/narrative/, tests/, production/) and incorporates recent change signals when available.
- Actionable onboarding output: Produces a structured document with key directories/files, standards, current state, sprint context, dependencies, pitfalls, first tasks, and questions to ask.
Quick Start
Run the onboard skill with an argument like "onboard developer" to generate an onboarding document tailored to that role.
