Which documentation files does the skill look for?

It prioritizes agents.md, repo_workflow.md, onboarding.md, REPO_MAP.md, and PRDs to establish a comprehensive project overview.

What is deterministic onboarding?

Deterministic onboarding is a structured process that ensures Claude reads specific high-priority files in a predefined order rather than scanning the entire repository at random.

How does bounded discovery improve performance?

By limiting discovery to 10 files per slice, it prevents context window saturation and ensures the agent focuses only on the most relevant code for the immediate task.

Where are the onboarding logs stored?

The skill automatically appends an entry to agent_logs/current.md, documenting the agent's intent and planned next steps for future reference.

生産性とワークフロー

Streamlines AI agent integration into new codebases through structured document reading and bounded file discovery.

The Onboard skill provides a deterministic framework for Claude to understand a repository without performing exhaustive or noisy file scans. By following a strict sequence of reading core documentation—such as repository maps, PRDs, and workflow guides—it builds a high-fidelity mental model of the project quickly. The skill concludes with a standardized output contract that summarizes the current state, identifies risks, and proposes clear next steps, while logging all actions to maintain a transparent audit trail of the agent's intent.
