SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Onboard new Scrips engineers efficiently by providing a guided, Claude-driven introduction that grounds them in the team's stack, processes, and operating model.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Grounding the engineer: ensures Claude is anchored to the real repository kernel and CLAUDE.md before starting hands-on tasks.
  • Guarded, stepwise onboarding: provides Step 1 readiness checks, Step 2 mental-model handoff, Step 3 hands-on exercises, Step 4 week-2 ramp, with clear milestones and success criteria.
  • Interactive coaching and exercises: walks new hires through exercises that teach repo structure, command routing, debugging protocols, and end-to-end PR workflow.

Quick Start

Run the readiness check script and begin Step 1 to verify your environment.

FAQPage Schema
How do I onboard new engineers to a Claude Code workflow?

Onboard new engineers by running a structured, Claude-driven readiness check that grounds them in your repository's CLAUDE.md and module docs. This provides a stepwise arc covering environment setup, mental-model handoff, hands-on exercises, and an initial PR workflow.

What is the best way to structure developer onboarding for a production repository?

The best way to structure developer onboarding is through a guarded, stepwise process. Start with environment readiness checks, move to mental-model handoff, proceed to hands-on exercises teaching repo structure and debugging protocols, and finish with a guided initial PR workflow.

How does Claude Code ensure safe onboarding guidance for new hires?

Claude Code ensures safe onboarding guidance by enforcing sourcing truth from CLAUDE.md and module docs. This anchors the AI to the real repository kernel, preventing hallucinations and providing grounded, production-ready instructions for new engineers.

Can I use a stepwise onboarding process to ramp engineers up to an initial PR?

Yes, you can use a stepwise onboarding process to ramp engineers up to an initial PR. The workflow includes four steps: environment readiness checks, mental-model handoff, hands-on exercises, and a week-2 ramp, each with clear milestones and success criteria.

Do I need to verify environment readiness before starting hands-on coding exercises?

Yes, you need to verify environment readiness before starting hands-on coding exercises. Step 1 of the onboarding arc requires running a readiness check script to ensure your local environment is properly configured and anchored to the repository kernel.

Why does Claude need to be anchored to the repository kernel during onboarding?

Claude needs to be anchored to the repository kernel during onboarding to enforce sourcing truth from CLAUDE.md. This grounding ensures that the guidance provided to new engineers is accurate, safe, and aligned with production-ready onboarding requirements.
