onboard

onboard is a skill for Codex from frabcd/codex-ai-game-studio. It costs 40 tokens per session (713 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-brief generator for a new contributor or coding agent joining an existing game project. It summarizes the project, relevant architecture, working conventions, important folders, and current priorities for a specified role or area.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare role-specific onboarding for programmers, designers, narrative contributors, or QA workers. It produces a document explaining the project state, responsibilities, architecture, key directories, and priorities.
Why use it?
It reduces the time a newcomer spends figuring out how the project is organized and what matters now. It gathers context from the project’s documentation, code, tests, design files, production records, and recent changes.

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 7d 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 — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Port provenance: adapted from the pinned upstream source at 984023ddac0d5e27624f2baacde6105e45de375f under MIT; see the repository parity ledger for the exact path and blob.

Phase 1: Load Project Context

Read AGENTS.md for project overview and standards.

Read the relevant agent definition from .codex/agents/ if a specific role is specified.


Phase 2: Scan Relevant Area

  • For programmers: scan src/ for architecture, patterns, key files
  • For designers: scan design/ for existing design documents
  • For narrative: scan design/narrative/ for world-building and story docs
  • For QA: scan tests/ for existing test coverage
  • For production: scan production/ for current sprint and milestone

Read recent changes (git log if available) to understand current momentum.

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.
