/onboard

Use this skill from a repository root to generate an onboarding tour for an unfamiliar codebase.

Current workflow

  1. Run the deterministic scanner to detect repo shape and entry points.
  2. Extract a verified spine from supported local language relationships.
  3. Generate and validate a Mermaid diagram from the verified spine.
  4. Cluster the remaining files into heuristic subsystems.
  5. Build a synthesis prompt that only contains verified structure and short code signatures.
  6. When running as Claude Code skill: Write prompt to file, ask Claude to synthesize JSON, then read JSON back to generate ONBOARDING.md.
  7. Write ONBOARDING.md into the target repo root.

Local command

npm run onboard -- .

Optional token-free preview first:

npm run map -- .

Optional prompt export:

npm run onboard -- . --prompt-out .onboard-prompt.txt

Optional synthesis input (for Claude Code skill flow):

npm run onboard -- . --synthesis-input .onboard-response.json

Optional external synthesis command:

npm run onboard -- . --synthesis-command "your-command-here"

Product contract

  • Repo brand: spine
  • User-facing Claude Code command: /onboard
  • Companion map-only command: /map
  • Diagram rule: verified edges only, never guessed
  • Output target: ONBOARDING.md

Launch positioning

The clearest user story is:

  1. /map shows the verified architecture preview
  2. /onboard writes the full guide
  3. .claude/REPO_CONTEXT.md keeps future Claude sessions grounded in the repo

What ships with it: 1 file
