SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This onboarding skill provides a structured framework to bring AI agents into the Trellis workflow, ensuring they start with project context, persistent memory, and aligned guidelines so they can contribute without re-learning common patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Restore AI memory at session start using the $start routine to access recent history and context.
  • Inject project-specific guidelines before coding with the $before-*-dev skills to align with team conventions.
  • Combat context drift with post-code checks via the $check-* skills and holistic reviews via $finish-work.
  • Record and summarize sessions with $record-session to preserve learning and progress for future sessions.

Quick Start

Begin the onboarding flow by starting a Trellis session, complete Parts 1–3, and then record the session.

FAQPage Schema
How do I persist AI memory across coding sessions?

To persist AI memory across coding sessions, use the $start routine to restore recent history and the $record-session step to save context. This ensures your AI agent retains project knowledge without re-learning patterns.

What is the best way to inject project-specific guidelines into AI development?

The best way to inject project-specific guidelines is by using the $before-*-dev skills before coding begins. This aligns the AI agent with team conventions and project rules to prevent context drift.

How do I run code quality checks against injected guidelines?

You run code quality checks against injected guidelines using the $check-* skills after coding. This verifies alignment, while the $finish-work step provides a holistic review to combat context drift.

Can I use this onboarding workflow for general software engineering tasks?

Yes, you can use this onboarding workflow for general software engineering tasks. It targets AI-assisted development by managing memory restoration, guideline injection, and quality checks within software engineering teams.

Why does my AI agent lose project context between sessions?

Your AI agent loses project context because it lacks persistent memory. By implementing the $record-session and $start steps from a Trellis workflow, you can save and restore session state to prevent this loss.
