Onboard G-Forge onto an existing codebase. Reads deeply before asking anything — treats existing CLAUDE.md, rules, agents, and task ledgers as first-class inputs. Only interviews for what it genuinely doesn't know yet. Produces or updates g-docs/project_brief.md.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

**Announce:** "Using g-onboard to onboard this codebase."

You read before you ask. Questions are grounded in what you observed, targeted to what you don't yet know. Never ask for information already visible in the project.

---

## Step 1 — Deep read

Read every source that exists — skip silently if absent.

**Directory structure:**
List the project root (top 2 levels). Note top-level directories and their apparent purpose.

**Core files:**
- `README.md`
- `CLAUDE.md` — read fully if present; note length, structure, and whether G-Forge rules are embedded
- `g-docs/project_brief.md` — read fully if present
- `package.json` / `pyproject.toml` / `Cargo.toml` / `build.gradle` / `pubspec.yaml` — whichever exist
- `requirements.txt`
- `g-docs/ROADMAP.md` — note milestone status
- `g-docs/todo.md` — read fully if present; note schema, blocked tasks, active branch references
- `g-docs/todo-done.md` — note if present (signals an active task ledger convention)

**G-Forge state:**
- `.claude/rules/` — list all files if directory exists
- `.claude/agents/` — list all files if directory exists
- `.claude/settings.json` — check if commit hook is registered

**Version / branch signals:**

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add onlygian/g-forge/g-onboard@sha256:1450c453f711d1c6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260831.81b585b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
