Does this skill require a specific folder structure?

The skill creates a standardized structure (00-inbox to 06-templates) to ensure all other COG skills function correctly with your data.

Can I run the onboarding process again later?

Yes. If you run it again, the skill will detect your existing profile and offer to update your interests, add new projects, or refresh your configuration.

What does the Onboarding skill actually do?

It guides you through a series of questions to understand your role and interests, then builds a structured folder system and configuration files in your vault.

Where is my profile information stored?

All information is stored locally in your vault as readable Markdown files, specifically within the '00-inbox' directory for easy manual editing.
