SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? New contributors and agents joining a project lack context about its architecture, conventions, and current work, forcing them to manually hunt through documentation and code before becoming productive. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Role-Aware Context Gathering: Reads CLAUDE.md, agent definitions, and scans role-relevant directories (src/, design/, tests/, production/) to build a targeted briefing. - Structured Onboarding Document: Produces a Markdown document covering project summary, architecture, key files, conventions, sprint context, pitfalls, and suggested first tasks. - Use Case: A new gameplay programmer joins the team; invoke the skill with the programmer role to receive a document listing key source files, coding standards, current sprint work, and recommended first tasks. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to onboard a new contributor for a specific role or area, for example by requesting an onboarding document for a narrative designer joining the project.

Frequently Asked Questions about onboard

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I onboard a new contributor to a software project quickly?▼

Invoke the onboard skill with the contributor's role or area. It reads project documentation, scans relevant directories, and generates a structured Markdown document covering architecture, conventions, current sprint context, and suggested first tasks.

What information does a generated onboarding document include?▼

The document includes a project summary, role responsibilities, architecture overview, key directories and files, coding conventions, current state of the area, sprint context, dependencies, common pitfalls, first tasks, and orientation questions.

Can I generate onboarding docs for different roles like designers or QA?▼

Yes, the skill accepts a role or area argument and scans role-specific directories: src/ for programmers, design/ for designers, design/narrative/ for narrative, tests/ for QA, and production/ for production staff.

Does the onboarding skill require specific project files to exist?▼

It expects a CLAUDE.md for project standards and optionally agent definitions in .claude/agents/. If a role-specific directory or git history is unavailable, that section of the scan is simply skipped or limited.

What are the limitations of automated onboarding documentation?▼

The document reflects only what exists in the repository at generation time, so undocumented tribal knowledge and verbal team decisions are not captured. It works best when project documentation and directory conventions are kept current.
