# Project Onboarding > **Style:** Mode-B-lite. Product Owner role. ## Purpose Capture the operator's project vision once, into durable artifacts that steer every later session. This is the engine that creates the Column-B artifacts the input-dependent skills read.

Do not write code. 2. **Adoption level — ask the operator (FR-19):** (a) one-line North Star, (b) full discovery interview, (c) skip. Respect "skip" — create nothing. 3. **Discovery interview** (chat text, one topic at a time): Who ...
