What problem does it solve?
When collaborating with AI agents on software projects, new agent sessions often lack critical context about project structure, workflow rules, and team preferences, forcing you to repeat the same explanations every time. This skill solves that by guiding you to create a universal onboarding document that works across every AI environment, so you can orient new agents in seconds with a single command.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Cross-environment compatibility: Generates onboarding docs that work with any AI tool including Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code extensions, and web-based AI platforms, no environment-specific tweaks needed.
- Structured guidance for all project stages: Includes templates and best practices for initial onboarding setup, mid-project refinement, and handover documentation to keep agent context accurate as your project evolves.
- Graceful handling of missing context: Provides built-in fallbacks for scenarios where standard project documents (like spec, DEVLOG, or handover) don't exist yet, so onboarding works even for brand new projects.
- Use case: For a hobby software project where you work with an AI coding agent, use this skill to generate an onboarding.md that lets you start new sessions with "Read onboarding.md and let's begin Sprint 1" instead of re-explaining your project's structure and rules every time.
Quick Start
Use the onboarding-creator skill to generate a tailored onboarding.md document for your new project that orients any AI agent to your workflow and project structure in seconds.
