project-onboarding
SolidScan an unfamiliar codebase, generate CLAUDE.md + OVERVIEW.md, and capture domain knowledge that code alone can't tell you. This skill should be used when the user wants to understand a new project, onboard onto a codebase, set up project documentation, create or update CLAUDE.md, or map project architecture. Common triggers include "what does this project do", "help me get started", "I just joined this repo", "document this codebase", "set up dev docs". Also applies when working on any unfamiliar or inherited project, even without an explicit onboarding request — if the user seems lost in a new codebase, this skill can help.

codebase-onboarding
Generates a single, deeply researched ONBOARDING.md at the root of an open source (or internal) codebase, written for a brand-new contributor. Use this whenever someone wants to understand, explore, ramp up on, or document an unfamiliar repository — trigger phrases include "help me understand this codebase," "explain this repo," "onboard me to this project," "I just cloned this and I'm lost," "write an ONBOARDING.md," "what's the architecture here," "how is this repo organized," or any request to explain a project's purpose, tech stack, dependencies, architecture, or module layout. Also use it proactively whenever a user opens or references a repository they haven't worked in before and asks broad "what is this / how does this work" questions. Do NOT use this for narrow single-file explanations, API reference generation, or README-writing for a project the user is authoring themselves (that's promotional copy, not onboarding).
core-codebase-onboarding
Structured codebase orientation workflow for {{PROJECT_NAME}}. Produces an actionable mental map — entry points, dependency graph, architectural layers, hot-path identification, and a recommended reading order — before any modification work begins. Invoked via the /onboard <path> slash command or directly by any agent that must reason about an unfamiliar codebase.
onboard
Interactive onboarding for new Claude Code users. Interviews the user about their role, projects, preferences, and tools, then scaffolds their entire AI workspace — knowledge base, memory system, profile, settings, and folder structure. Run once on first setup. Triggers on 'onboard', 'set up my workspace', 'first time setup', 'get started'.
