Onboard - Project Discovery & Ledger Creation

Analyze a brownfield codebase and create an initial continuity ledger.

When to Use

  • First time working in an existing project
  • User says "onboard", "analyze this project", "get familiar with codebase"

How to Use

Spawn the onboard agent:

Use the Task tool with subagent_type: "onboard" and this prompt:

Onboard me to this project at $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR.
1. Create required directories if they don't exist:
mkdir -p thoughts/shared/handoffs/<project-name> .claude
2. Explore the codebase using available tools:
- Try: tldr tree . && tldr structure .
- Fallback: find . -type f -name "*.py" -o -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.js" | head -50
3. Detect tech stack (look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, go.mod, etc.)
4. Ask the user about their goals using AskUserQuestion
5. Create a YAML handoff at thoughts/shared/handoffs/<project-name>/onboard-<date>.yaml:
---
date: <ISO date>
type: onboard
status: active
---
goal: <user's stated goal>
now: Start working on <first priority>
tech_stack: [list of detected technologies]
key_files:
- path: <important file>
purpose: <what it does>
architecture: <brief description>
next:
- <suggested first action>

Why an Agent?

The onboard process:

  • Requires multiple exploration steps
  • Should not pollute main context with codebase dumps
  • Returns a clean summary + creates the handoff

Output

  • Directories created: thoughts/shared/handoffs/<project>/, .claude/
  • YAML handoff created (loaded automatically on session start)
  • User has clear starting context
  • Ready to begin work with full project awareness

Notes

  • This skill is for BROWNFIELD projects (existing code)
  • For greenfield, use /create_plan instead
  • Handoff can be updated anytime with /create_handoff
