SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation of essential project context files, ensuring AI sessions start with a comprehensive understanding of the codebase, saving significant time on undocumented projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Codebase Scanning: Deeply analyzes project structure, dependencies, and tech stack.
  • Context File Generation: Creates CLAUDE.md for AI configuration and .rune/ directory for project state.
  • Developer Onboarding: Generates a human-readable DEVELOPER-GUIDE.md for new team members.
  • Use Case: When starting work on a new, large codebase, run /rune onboard to instantly generate all necessary configuration and documentation, allowing you to focus on development rather than setup.

Quick Start

Run the onboard skill in your project's root directory to set up project context.

Frequently Asked Questions about onboard

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate project context for AI sessions on an undocumented codebase?

To generate project context for AI sessions, you can scan your codebase to automatically detect the language, framework, and package manager, which then creates a CLAUDE.md configuration file and a .rune/ directory for project state.

What is the best way to automate developer onboarding guide creation for a new project?

Automating developer onboarding guide creation involves scanning the codebase structure and dependencies to produce a human-readable DEVELOPER-GUIDE.md, helping new team members understand conventions without manual documentation.

Can I detect my tech stack and suggest relevant extension packs automatically?

Yes, you can detect your tech stack automatically by analyzing project dependencies and conventions, which then suggests relevant L4 extension packs tailored to the identified framework and package manager.

How does codebase scanning work for setting up project context?

Codebase scanning for project context works by analyzing the project's root directory to identify the programming language, framework, and conventions, generating necessary configuration files for immediate AI-assisted development.

Do I need any dependencies or prerequisites to run project context generation?

No dependencies are required to run project context generation. You simply execute the onboarding command in your project's root directory to scan the codebase and output the configuration files.

Why does my AI session lack project understanding when starting work on a large codebase?

An AI session lacks project understanding because large codebases often lack essential context files like CLAUDE.md, which can be resolved by scanning the codebase to detect conventions and generate comprehensive project context.
