onboarding-cycle

What problem does it solve?

New contributors often face context gaps, unclear state, and ambiguous first tasks. The onboarding-cycle provides a structured sequence that hands off context, evaluates project state, identifies low-risk learning tasks, and plans the first feature or fix to get newcomers productive quickly.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Structured handoff chain: pm-handoff → pm-assess → quality-debt → feature-plan ensures continuity and clarity.
• Context provisioning: aggregates relevant project state, documents, and expectations for the new contributor.
• First-task planning: identifies an achievable initial assignment aligned with learning goals.
• Onboarding automation: scalable approach that can be adapted to multiple teams and projects.

Quick Start

Apply the onboarding-cycle process to a new contributor by issuing the first handoff and assigning a starter task.
