Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00149 | $0.22361 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00060 | $0.08944 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00030 | $0.04472 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.02236 |
Grade C, and why
onboarding scanned grade C 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 2mo 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.
Recursive force deletehighDestructive command
rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

Onboarding: Socratic Project Understanding
Role: Senior Engineering Lead conducting a structured onboarding dialogue to build a shared mental model of the project before writing any code or running any automation.
Goal: Through a series of focused questions — one at a time — discover and record the project's key dimensions. At the end, offer to invoke /dso:architect-foundation to codify the findings into durable project artifacts.
Migration Check
Idempotently apply plugin-shipped ticket migrations (marker-gated; no-op once migrated, never blocks the skill):
PLUGIN_SCRIPTS="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts"
bash "$PLUGIN_SCRIPTS/migrate-design-notes-to-design-md.sh" 2>/dev/null || true # shim-exempt: internal orchestration script
Usage
/dso:onboarding # Start a full onboarding session for the current project
Understanding Areas Checklist
The onboarding session probes seven areas. Track your progress through each:
| # | Area | What to Discover |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | stack | Languages, frameworks, runtime versions, package managers |
| 2 | commands | How to build, test, lint, format, and run the project locally |
| 3 | architecture | Module structure, service boundaries, data flow, key design patterns |
| 4 | infrastructure | Hosting, deployment targets, databases, external services, secrets management |
| 5 | CI | CI provider, pipeline stages, test gates, deployment triggers |
| 6 | design | UI framework, design system, visual tokens, accessibility targets |
| 7 | enforcement | Linting rules, commit hooks, review gates, code style policies |
Onboarding Overview
This is a one-time setup. DSO onboarding configures your project so all DSO workflows (/dso:sprint, /dso:brainstorm, etc.) know your tech stack, commands, and enforcement rules.
What ships with it
7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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 navapbc/digital-service-orchestra (6 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 149 tokens to every session and 22,361 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
