create-agent-onboarding

create-agent-onboarding is a skill for Claude Code from gustavo-meilus/aiboarding. It costs 76 tokens per session (2,484 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A skill that creates onboarding files for an AI coding agent when a repository lacks them. It produces AGENTS.md, a shared instruction file, plus a Claude Code wrapper and supporting lifecycle files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create initial agent documentation and setup when a repository has no AGENTS.md, or when an onboarding hook reports that those files are missing.
Why use it?
It prevents each new agent from having to discover the repository's structure and working rules from scratch.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 B, and why

create-agent-onboarding scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 175 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Creating agent onboarding files

Treat the AI as a fresh engineer. Generate a compressed, high-signal AGENTS.md at the repo root - the canonical, tool-agnostic onboarding document read natively by Codex, Copilot, Cursor and imported by Claude Code via a thin CLAUDE.md wrapper - then bootstrap the lifecycle that keeps it current.

Announce at start: "Using create-agent-onboarding to generate this repo's onboarding files."

Runtime awareness

The generation phases below are tool-agnostic and work under Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI, or any SKILL.md-compatible agent. Phase 6 installs repo-local hooks only for Claude Code. The Codex plugin supplies optional native hooks after /hooks trust review; copied standalone skills never install Codex settings. When hooks are disabled, unavailable, or untrusted, run update-agent-onboarding manually after meaningful commits.

Phase 0: Pre-flight routing

Inspect the repo root before generating anything:

  • AIBOARDING.md exists (legacy v1 layout): stop and run migrate-aiboarding instead - never regenerate from scratch over an existing onboarding investment.
  • AGENTS.md already exists: treat it as primary input. Skip greenfield grilling; interrogate only the gaps against the section schema below, then propose a restructure as an approval-gated diff. Never overwrite silently.
  • CLAUDE.md already exists: preserve it. The only changes allowed are adding the @AGENTS.md import line and managing an aiboarding-owned block via .aiboarding/tools/inject-fenced (marker-fenced, idempotent, removable).

Shared contracts

AGENTS.md schema - tool-agnostic, no frontmatter, no Claude-specific syntax. H2 sections in this exact order:

  1. ## Project Purpose
  2. ## Stack and Runtime
  3. ## Build, Test, Run - exact commands; fast checks and full checks
  4. ## Architecture Map - directories, boundaries, data flow, dependency direction
  5. ## Domain Model - entities, workflows, invariants, vocabulary
  6. ## Agent Guardrails - what agents must NOT assume/refactor/delete/rename/"simplify"
  7. ## Known Failure Modes - mistakes previous agents made or will likely make
  8. ## Verification Before Completion - commands agents must run before claiming done
  9. ## Escalation - Ask the User When - stop-and-ask cases

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.
