onboard

onboard is a skill for Claude Code from myclaude-sh/myclaude-creator-engine. It costs 54 tokens per session (2,360 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup skill for creating or updating a creator profile in a file named creator.yaml. The profile records expertise, goals, technical level, and preferences for the Creator Engine.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting the Creator Engine, configuring a profile, checking who the current profile represents, or updating profile details.
Why use it?
It avoids repeatedly explaining your background and preferences when creating products with the system.

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 11d 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 — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Onboarder

Discover and persist creator profile through intelligent scanning + minimal questions. Build creator.yaml — the Master Input that defines the quality ceiling for every product this creator builds.

When to use: First time using the Creator Engine, or when profile needs update (/onboard update).

Full protocol (phases, question scripts, schema, edge cases): Read ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/onboard-protocol.md before executing any phase.


Core Principle: Minimum Friction

RULE: Every question to the creator MUST use the AskUserQuestion tool. Never ask questions via plain text.

RULE: Scan first, ask second. Auto-detect everything possible. Only ask what cannot be inferred.

RULE: Optimize for the happy path. If the scan is rich enough, the entire onboarding should be 1 click.


Activation Protocol

  1. Shared preamble: Load references/quality/activation-preamble.md — context assembly, persona adaptation, deterministic routing rules.
  2. Check for creator.yaml in project root
  3. Exists → read schema_version:
    • schema_version < 3 → run Phase 2.5d Schema v2→v3 Silent Migration (protocol → Phase 2.5d) BEFORE any other action. Migration is atomic + reversible via creator.yaml.bak.v2. After migration succeeds, continue with step 2 against the new v3 file.
    • schema_version == 3 → load it, display summary, AskUserQuestion: "Is this still accurate?"
      • Yes → exit, profile is current
      • No → enter UPDATE MODE (see protocol file → Update Mode Flow)
  4. Does not exist → enter FULL ONBOARDING (Phases 0 → 6c). Run Phase 2.5b (Intent Profile Inference) + 2.5c (Language Confirmation Gate) between Phase 2.5 and Phase 3 — both are mandatory for schema v3.

Full Onboarding — Phase Routing Table

Load ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/onboard-protocol.md for full details on every phase.

Phase What Happens Detail Location
0 — Platform Detection Detect OS + shell + resolve {home} path protocol → Platform Detection
1 — Silent Deep Scan Run 5 scans in parallel: git identity, .claude/ root, project breadth, workspace, locale protocol → Phase 1
2 — Inference Engine Build draft profile: name, language, technical_level, profile.type, expertise. Weighted scoring (skills 3x, CLAUDE.md 3x, projects 2x, MCP 1x, rules 1x). Route to Express/Standard/Full path protocol → Phase 2
2.5 — Disambiguation If expert score (≥19) on Express/Standard path → one question: first time user? protocol → Phase 2.5
2.5b — Intent Profile Inference Derive 5 of 7 intent_profile fields from scan outputs (domain_depth, working_rhythm, maintenance_appetite, target_audience, external_dependency_tolerance). Mark _inferred: true. Defer licensing_tolerance to /create minds --genius. usage_frequency_expectation is asked in Phase 3 Call 2. Mandatory for schema v3. protocol → Phase 2.5b
2.5c — Language Confirmation Gate Classify language detection as high|low|fallback. Silent announcement if high; one-question confirm if low; forced question if fallback. Persist language_confidence + language_detection_sources. Mandatory for schema v3. protocol → Phase 2.5c
2.5d — Schema v2→v3 Migration Triggered only when an existing creator.yaml has schema_version < 3. Atomic + backed up to creator.yaml.bak.v2. Preserves all v2 fields. protocol → Phase 2.5d
3 — Adaptive Questioning Express (2 calls) / Standard (2 calls) / Full (3 calls). Call 2 of all three paths now includes a 4th question on usage_frequency_expectation (schema v3). protocol → Phase 3
4 — Profile Type Infer type from all signals. Never ask directly protocol → Phase 4
5 — Generate creator.yaml Write schema v3 file (includes intent_profile, language_confidence, language_detection_sources). Validate YAML. Read back to verify. protocol → Phase 5
5b — Seed creator-memory.yaml After creator.yaml is written and parses, seed the sibling creator-memory.yaml with a first_onboard event. Idempotent: silently skipped if a first_onboard event already exists. Validator: scripts/creator-memory-validate.py. Silent infrastructure — Phase 6 speaks, 5b prepares the ground. protocol → Phase 5b
6 — Closing + Intelligence Report Persona-adaptive next step + setup health + gap analysis + product recommendation. Load UX stack: references/quality/engine-voice-core.md (loaded at activation start), references/ux-experience-system.md (§2.3 first scaffold moment = "first onboard" for brand), references/quality/engine-voice.md (full Brand DNA substrate loaded here because this is a peak moment: the FIRST myClaude Studio impression). Use brand frame: ┌─ MyClaude Studio ─┐. Personalize with the name just captured. This is the moment the creator enters the myClaude universe — make it feel like arriving, not registering. After Phase 5 writes creator.yaml, Phase 5b appends the first_onboard event to creator-memory.yaml (create-if-absent with full schema shell per scripts/creator-memory-validate.py). This seeds the Ritual of Return Layer 2 for future sessions. protocol → Phase 6, 6b, 6c

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.
