# Onboard a folder
A folder becomes a project: `atlas/<name>/` inside it, with the wiki and the
threads, listed in the atlas. A blank folder needs only that. A folder with
history also needs the wiki to know the work and the board to hold the work
already under way, so a first session there starts with a map and a list,
not a blank page. Every step shows what it will do and waits for a yes.
Tools: `atlas`, `project`, `status`, `threads`, `thread`. Reads
[modes.md](../wiki/references/modes.md) for the structure. Hands the
describing to `wiki-describe`.
## 1. Look before asking
Call `atlas`, to see the projects that exist. Then look at the folder:
- inside a project already, or inside another project's folder: stop, say
which, and hand to `atlas-project`;
- blank: no files, or only a README;
- long-lived: code, documents, a git history.
Read the README, AGENTS.md, and CLAUDE.md when there are any; they answer
most of the questions below.
## 2. Make the project
Ask one question at a time, each with a default the user can take with a yes:
1. **Where.** The session's folder, or the path the user names.
2. **Name.** The folder's name.
3. **Description.** One to three sentences: what the work is and what its
wiki should remember. `wiki-ingest` and `wiki-query` read it to judge what
belongs. Draft it from what you read.
4. **Mode.** `generic` unless the user wants `lyt` ([modes.md](../wiki/references/modes.md)).
5. **Threads.** On unless the user wants a wiki only.
