Generates a contextual onboarding document for a new contributor or agent joining the project. Summarizes project state, architecture, conventions, and current priorities relevant to the specified role or area.
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
## Overview
This skill generates a contextual onboarding document tailored to a specific role or area. It loads project state, scans relevant directories, and produces a comprehensive guide for new contributors or agents.
**When to use `/onboard`:**
- A new team member (human or agent) is joining the project
- You need context on a specific area before starting work
- You want a quick reference for conventions, architecture, and current state
**When NOT to use `/onboard`:**
- You need to audit an existing brownfield project's format compliance → use `/adopt`
- You need to detect project stage and missing artifacts → use `/project-stage-detect`
- You are the project owner reviewing overall status → use `/sprint-status`
---
## Phase 1: Parse Arguments and Load Project Context
Read the argument to determine the target role or area. If no argument is provided, use `question` to ask:
- **Prompt**: "No role specified. Who is this onboarding document for?"
- **Options**:
- `Programmer` — Code architecture, patterns, conventions, current implementation state
- `Designer` — Design documents, GDDs, systems, balance data

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260723.980262a, 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.
