onboarding

To onboard to a new repository, this Skill classifies the repository's role and runtime environment, loads minimum required guidance documents like architecture instructions, and prepares a safe Git baseline before you start working.

Preparing a safe Git baseline involves inspecting the repository's current Git state to ensure a normalized environment, then providing follow-up commands so you can safely begin development without risking uncommitted local changes.

You need to load repository guidance before reading source code to ensure you have the necessary context about architecture and agent-specific instructions, preventing misaligned work in an unfamiliar repository environment.

Setting up a new repository workflow requires loading essential architecture documentation first, because this Skill strictly adheres to constraints that prevent reading any code before the minimum guidance documentation is successfully loaded.

The onboarding process inspects the repository's Git state to identify necessary follow-up commands, ensuring your local Git setup is ready for development and safely normalized for subsequent workflow actions.

Classifying the repository role and runtime during initialization ensures you understand the expected workflow and environment context, which is necessary to safely prepare your Git baseline and load the correct minimum guidance.
