# Project Discovery — Onboarding Orchestrator
Turn an unknown codebase into a testable project. Four phases, always in order, gated on completion of the previous one. The output is a set of context files the rest of the skills (`shift-left-testing`, `sprint-testing`, `test-automation`, `test-documentation`, `regression-testing`) rely on.
The discovery is **conversational**: you read the code, ask when ambiguous, confirm before writing files. Never fabricate -- if you cannot verify a claim from the source, mark it as a "Discovery Gap" and move on.
Grounding methodology: **IQL (Integrated Quality Lifecycle)** — QA is continuous from requirement to release, not a gate at the end. The full rationale and step breakdown live in `docs/methodology/IQL-methodology.md` (shared across all QA skills). This skill does not depend on reading it — only point the user there if they ask why the discovery is structured this way.

## Inputs
Canonical reading order when starting cold on a discovery run. Read in order; stop earlier when the scope is small enough that later inputs add no signal.
1. **Target project repo** — path resolved at session start (see "Before starting: target repo location" below). Read code and any in-repo PRD. This is the primary source of truth — discovery is reverse-engineering, never aspirational design.
2. **Target repo's `README.md` and existing onboarding docs** — fastest path to project intent, stack signals, and run commands before deep code reads.
3. **
