SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

New developers and contributors often lack the project-specific context, working memory, and checklist-driven verification needed to collaborate safely and efficiently with AI-assisted workflows. This Skill compresses essential onboarding — core philosophy, system structure, and operational skills — into a reproducible session so the team can align conventions, avoid context drift, and persist session knowledge for future AI sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured, teachable onboarding: Walks a new team member through core philosophy (AI memory, project-specific knowledge, context drift), system architecture, and a skill-by-skill deep dive so they understand why each component exists and what problems it solves.
  • Practical workflow examples: Demonstrates five real-world workflows step-by-step and explains the principle, what happens, and the consequences of skipping each step to reinforce safe, verifiable practices.
  • Guideline verification and customization: Checks the .trellis/spec guideline templates, guides filling project-specific conventions, and helps create a tracked task to populate guideline files so AI guidance becomes project-aware.
  • Session persistence guidance: Instructs when and how to record session summaries to the workspace so future $start sessions can restore context.

Quick Start

Ask the onboard skill to run a complete three-part onboarding and check or populate the .trellis/spec guidelines for this repository.

FAQPage Schema
How do I onboard new developers to an AI-assisted workflow system?

Onboarding new developers to an AI-assisted workflow system involves teaching core philosophy, demonstrating real-world workflows step-by-step, and verifying project-specific guidelines. This process ensures team members understand AI memory, context drift, and safe verifiable practices.

What is context drift in AI-assisted development and how do I prevent it?

Context drift in AI-assisted development occurs when an AI loses project-specific knowledge during a session. You prevent it by establishing core philosophy, using checklist-driven verification, and recording session summaries to restore context for future workflows.

How do I set up .trellis/spec guideline files for my repository?

Setting up .trellis/spec guideline files involves checking existing templates and filling in project-specific conventions. This creates tracked tasks to populate guideline files, making your AI guidance project-aware and ensuring safe collaboration.

Can I customize developer guidelines for AI-assisted development workflows?

Yes, you can customize developer guidelines for AI-assisted development workflows. The onboarding process checks .trellis/spec templates, guides filling project-specific conventions, and helps create tracked tasks so AI guidance becomes project-aware.

When do I need to record session summaries for AI workflows?

You need to record session summaries for AI workflows when persisting knowledge for future sessions. This ensures that future $start sessions can restore context, preventing information loss and maintaining working memory for new developers.

Does onboarding for the Trellis workflow require prior context management experience?

Onboarding for the Trellis workflow does not require prior context management experience. It walks new team members through core philosophy, system architecture, and skill-by-skill deep dives, compressing essential onboarding into a reproducible session.
