team-onboarding-playbook

team-onboarding-playbook is a skill for Claude Code from rampstackco/claude-skills. It costs 124 tokens per session (2,126 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured onboarding plan for helping a new employee, contractor, or partner become productive over their first 30, 60, and 90 days. It organizes responsibilities, learning, access, and support.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define early goals, capture needed documentation, assign mentors, list required accounts, and plan knowledge transfer when roles or teams change.
Why use it?
It replaces informal, inconsistent onboarding with a shared plan. This reduces the time existing team members spend explaining the same things and helps new people ramp up with fewer gaps.

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

team-onboarding-playbook 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 9d 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 — 190 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

A repeatable framework for building an onboarding playbook that ramps new team members predictably without burning out the people training them.

When to use

  • A new hire is joining and you do not have a written onboarding plan.
  • An existing onboarding process is informal and inconsistent.
  • A team is growing fast and onboarding is the bottleneck.
  • A contractor or agency partner needs to ramp up quickly.
  • A team member is leaving and their knowledge needs capturing.
  • Onboarding currently takes too long and you want to reduce it.

When NOT to use

  • For ongoing performance management (different problem).
  • For training on a specific technology (use targeted docs and tutorials).
  • For documentation strategy in general (use documentation-strategy).
  • For role definition or hiring (different upstream problem).

Required inputs

  • The role: what the person will do, what success looks like at 90 days.
  • Existing artifacts: docs, runbooks, codebases, design files.
  • The team: who will mentor, who will pair, who answers what kind of question.
  • Tools and access: what accounts and systems the new person needs.
  • Time budget: how much time team members can invest in onboarding.

The framework

A good onboarding plan operates on 4 layers. Build all four.

Layer 1: Belonging (Day 1 to Week 1)

The first week is mostly about belonging, not productivity. Get this right and everything else accelerates.

  • Welcome message before they start.
  • Workspace and accounts ready before day 1. No "we will get to that".
  • A buddy or onboarding partner assigned (someone other than the manager).
  • Day 1 schedule that is not 8 hours of meetings, but is also not zero meetings.
  • Introductions to the people they will work with regularly.
  • A first-week rhythm: daily check-in with manager or buddy.

Layer 2: Context (Week 1 to Week 4)

The next phase is context. The new person needs to understand the system before they can change it.

  • The product or business: what we do, who we serve, why we exist.
  • The team: who owns what, how decisions get made.
  • The technical or operational landscape: the architecture diagram, the main tools, the key files.
  • The recent past: major decisions, recent launches, current priorities.
  • Active projects: what is in flight and how it fits.

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.
