Project onboarding routing requires determining whether your project is greenfield or brownfield, assessing complexity, and capturing configuration choices to direct the work to the proper phase. This workflow routing process prevents teams from starting in the wrong design stage.

Greenfield project setup starts from scratch with no existing codebase, while brownfield setup involves joining an existing repository like a Next.js project. Detecting the project type dictates configuration capture and routes work to the correct workflow phase.

Brownfield project onboarding involves inspecting the existing repository, confirming the project type, recording setup decisions like tech stack and component library, and routing to the correct next phase to avoid launching into the wrong design step.

Workflow routing requires capturing the project name, product complexity, tech stack, component library, brief depth, and working relationship context. These configuration choices determine whether the project proceeds to Phase 1, Phase 8, or the alignment and signoff workflow.

Yes, project setup checks whether stakeholder alignment or signoff is needed during onboarding. If required, the workflow routes the team to the alignment and signoff workflow before advancing to any subsequent design phase.

You should not skip setup when onboarding a new or existing project, as routing to the wrong workflow phase occurs without confirmed project type and configuration choices. Structure generation and initial outline creation depend on completing Phase 0 setup instructions.
