step1-onboard

step1-onboard is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from raisoninme/boardless-pcb. It costs 24 tokens per session (2,149 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An onboarding procedure for starting a software project with an interview, a development plan, and tool setup. It records progress in project documents so an unfinished setup can continue later.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the beginning of a project to capture requirements, create a development plan, configure tools, and resume missing onboarding steps.
Why use it?
It prevents project requirements and setup work from being lost when onboarding stops partway through.

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

step1-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 10d 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.

Step 1 · Onboarding

Session check (do this first)

One step per session. If this session has already done other substantive work, stop and ask the user to start a fresh session.

Then look for docs/flow-state.md (recognize it by its canonical header line flow-state — process state; a foreign file under this name → stop and ask the user to rename or confirm):

  • Missing → fresh start: create it now from the template in §4, with step 1 = in-progress — an aborted onboarding must stay visible and resumable.
  • Present, step 1 in-progress → a previous onboarding aborted (often a toolchain-install restart): resume, don't restart. Check which artifacts already exist (docs/requirements.md confirmed? docs/dev-plan.md confirmed? toolchain installed?) and continue from the first missing one. Never re-interview for answers already on disk.
  • Present, step 1 done → re-run: ask what the user intends (amend requirements? restart?) before overwriting anything.

Interact and generate all project documents in the user's language. Canonical English is kept only for machine-parsed values: status tokens (steps not-started / in-progress / done / rework / waiting / parked; issues open / fixed-pending-verify / closed / deferred; severity nondeferrable / major / minor), issues-table target-step values (2 3 4 5 step6), and the flow-state header line.

Execute

1. Context interview

Interview the user; ask at most 3–4 questions at a time (multiple choice with a recommended option):

  • First, one routing question: greenfield (from scratch) or brownfield (iterating on an existing version)?
  • Greenfield track: product definition / must-have feature list ("must", not "nice-to-have") / top-priority metric(s) — push each to a quantified, selection-vetoing criterion (one is typical, more is fine; not every metric decomposes per part) / explicit non-goals
  • Brownfield track: directory & version map / what to ignore (material not ruled out gets read and confabulated from) / scope of this iteration / reference pointer in three parts (which version + which part + for what understanding) / trust level of existing assets (verified-rely-on vs reference-only-reverify; selection rules apply to new and changed parts, inherited verified parts keep their trust level) / EDA migration statement (an old project in another EDA is reference material, never the base document)

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.
