onboard

onboard is a skill for Claude Code from cpliakas/claude-code-engineering-leaders. It costs 71 tokens per session (4,957 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An onboarding interview for an engineering project. It records shared project context and identifies specialist tools for the technical lead.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting up the engineering workflow for a project or updating its shared context.
Why use it?
It gives agents a common understanding of the project instead of making each one rediscover the same background.

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 6d 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 — 558 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Onboard

Gather shared project context for all engineering-leaders agents and discover specialist plugins for the Tech Lead to consult.

This skill runs a guided interview. It asks one question at a time and writes the results to a shared memory file that every agent in this plugin reads.

Output Location

Shared context is written to:

.claude/agent-memory/engineering-leaders/PROJECT.md

Specialist routing entries are written to:

.claude/agent-memory/engineering-leaders-tech-lead/MEMORY.md

Per-project agent model overrides (written only when the user selects a non-default trade-off during the Model Selection step) are written to:

.claude/agents/<agent-name>.md

Process

Step 1: Check for Existing Context

Read .claude/agent-memory/engineering-leaders/PROJECT.md if it exists.

If it does not exist, proceed directly to Step 2. Track: context_written = false.

If it exists, show the user a brief summary of what is recorded (project name, tech stack, current phase) and ask:

"Shared project context already exists. Would you like to:

(a) Update specific sections — I'll ask which sections to replace and re-run only those questions. All other sections are preserved unchanged. (b) Start fresh — I'll run the full interview and replace the entire file when complete. If you abandon the interview before finishing, the original file is left unchanged. (c) Skip to specialist discovery — skip the project context interview and go straight to updating the Tech Lead specialist registry."

If the user chooses (a):

Show the list of sections in the existing file (Project Overview, Tech Stack, Team, Key Constraints, Specialists, Model Selection) and ask: "Which sections would you like to update?" Re-ask only the questions that correspond to the sections they name (Q1, Q2, and Q6 for Project Overview; Q3 for Tech Stack; Q4 and Q5 for Team; Q7 for Key Constraints; Step 4 for Specialists; Step 5 for Model Selection), then merge the new answers into the existing file by replacing only those sections. Sections not selected are preserved verbatim from the original. Any content in the file that does not correspond to a template section (e.g., manually added sections) must also be preserved verbatim — do not discard unrecognized content.

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.
