onboard

onboard is an agent for coding agents from cveralyon/axel-setup. It costs 18 tokens per session (276 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository check-in that summarizes the current branch, recent commits, uncommitted files, CI runs, open pull requests, and whether the branch is ahead of or behind its remote copy.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to get a compact dashboard of repository status before coding, reviewing changes, or deciding what to do next.
Why use it?
It removes the need to run several Git and GitHub checks separately when you start work in an unfamiliar project.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

onboard scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Give a quick situational overview of the current repository.

  1. Where am I: repo name, current branch, last commit
  2. Pending work: git status — uncommitted changes, untracked files
  3. Recent activity: last 5 commits with authors
  4. CI status: gh run list --limit 3 — latest workflow runs
  5. Open PRs: gh pr list — any open PRs on this repo
  6. Branch state: ahead/behind remote

Present as a compact dashboard, not verbose paragraphs.

Deeper orientation (escalate when needed)

The steps above are a git/CI snapshot. When the repo is large or unfamiliar and no brain packet covers it, recommend escalating to GSD's codebase intelligence:

  • gsd-map-codebase — parallel mappers produce a structured architecture map under .planning/codebase/.
  • gsd-graphify — builds a queryable knowledge graph of the project.

Surface this as a recommendation in your output; the main agent runs the skill (subagents can't invoke skills directly).

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
