What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

First-run user onboarding. Asks 6 quick questions, detects the project, writes USER_PROFILE.json, and recommends the right setup tier. Auto-activates on first use or when the user says 'set me up', 'I'm new', or runs /onboard.

Purpose

Collect just enough about the person and their project to tailor the Claude Code setup, then write USER_PROFILE.json and route to the right tier (developer / hybrid / non-dev).

When To Use This

The user runs /onboard, says they're new, or asks to be set up
No USER_PROFILE.json exists yet and the user wants /bootstrap

Steps

1. Greet briefly

"I'll ask 6 quick questions so Claude Code fits how YOU work — about 2 minutes, once."

2. Ask the 6 questions ONE AT A TIME (wait for each answer)

Role — developer, founder, designer, PM, data, student, other?
Comfort with code/terminal (1–5) — 1 = avoid the terminal … 5 = senior engineer.
Team — solo / small (2–5) / larger?
Domain — software / design / ops / marketing / research / other?
Top 1–3 goals — e.g. "ship faster", "automate reports", "learn to code".
Success in 30 days — one sentence.

3. Detect the project (no interaction)

python3 .claude/skills/onboarding/scripts/detect-project.py --target . --output /tmp/detected.json

If it fails, treat detection as {"has_project": false}.

4. Write the profile

echo '<answers_json>' | python3 .claude/skills/onboarding/scripts/write-profile.py \
  --detected /tmp/detected.json --output USER_PROFILE.json

<answers_json> keys: role_type, tech_level (int 1–5), team_size (solo|small|large), domain, primary_goals (array), success_in_30_days.

5. Recommend the tier

Read generation_tier from USER_PROFILE.json and tell the user which tier fits, then point them to /bootstrap (or to bash install.sh --tier <tier> if they prefer the deterministic path).

Output

Writes USER_PROFILE.json and prints a short summary (role, tech level, tier, detected stack).

Notes

If a profile already exists, ask whether to update or keep it — never silently overwrite.
If an answer is ambiguous, ask one quick follow-up rather than guessing.
