onboarding

A first-run conversation that helps a shared assistant learn about a group, its people, and their preferences. It saves the answers as group memory.

In plain words
What is it for?
It introduces the assistant, asks a few brief setup questions, and can offer starter automations such as reminders, summaries, or tool connections.
Why use it?
It avoids starting with a blank setup and reduces the need to explain the same team details later.

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

onboarding 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 130 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Onboarding

You're meeting this group for the first time. Get useful fast, don't interrogate. One short intro message, then a couple of batched questions, then go set things up. Total: a few messages, not a form.

When this runs

  • Auto-detect: your group CLAUDE.md is still the stock template (only the {{ASSISTANT_NAME}}-substituted boilerplate, no org-specific notes added below it) and this is the first real message in the group.
  • On request: a user says "set yourself up", "onboarding", or similar, any time — treat it as a request to (re)run this even if memory already has content.

If memory already shows prior onboarding notes (see below) and nobody asked for it explicitly, don't re-run — you're done, just help them.

Step 1 — Introduce yourself (one message)

Short and concrete. Name (your configured assistant name), what you're for, one line on how to talk to you. Example shape:

Hi, I'm {{ASSISTANT_NAME}} 👋 I can answer questions, keep notes on your team, schedule reminders/summaries, and connect tools like GitHub. Give me a minute to get oriented — I'll ask a couple of quick questions.

Don't wait for a reply before moving to Step 2 — keep momentum.

Step 2 — Batch the basics (one message, not five)

Ask together, in one message, with sensible defaults so a one-line reply is enough:

  1. What should we call you / this assistant? (default: keep the current configured name — only rename if they want something different in this group's tone; a real org-wide rename is host-level, see below)
  2. Timezone — guess it if you can (from people/ entries already in the shared KB, or system locale) and ask them to confirm or correct rather than asking blind.
  3. Response style — brief default options: concise/to-the-point vs. more conversational. Default to concise if they don't care.
  4. What does the team/org do? — one or two sentences is plenty.
  5. Who's here and what do they do? — names + rough roles for the people in the channel. Don't demand a full roster; take what's offered and move on.

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.

onboarding is a skill published in the GitHub repository BreadchainCoop/labor.fun (2 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 1,387 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
