Codebase Onboarding FAQs

Question 1

What specifically is included in the generated output?

Accepted Answer

The output includes a breakdown of the tech stack, a directory architecture diagram, identified coding conventions (naming, state, API), key module deep-dives, and verified setup commands.

Question 2

Does the onboard skill rely only on the README file?

Accepted Answer

No, the onboard skill prioritizes reading actual source code and configuration files over READMEs to ensure the generated guide reflects the current state of the project rather than outdated documentation.

Question 3

Can I use this skill on any programming language?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the skill is language-agnostic and uses universal tools like Grep, Glob, and Bash to identify patterns and structures across all major frameworks and languages.

Question 4

Should I use this for projects I already know well?

Accepted Answer

While it can be used for any project, it is specifically optimized for unfamiliar codebases. For quick queries on projects you already understand, using more targeted skills like @scout is recommended.

Question 5

How long does it take to analyze a project?

Accepted Answer

The skill is optimized for speed; it typically generates a comprehensive overview in just a few minutes by focusing on the most critical 3-5 modules and core entry points.
