onboard

onboard is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from swisspra/On_Board. It costs 32 tokens per session (375 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup and usage guide for On Board, a shared memory server that stores project state in the project folder and connects to coding agents through MCP. MCP is a standard way for an agent to call outside tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install, configure, repair, or update On Board, or to follow its join, briefing, checkpoint, and handoff process in an existing project.
Why use it?
It separates installation from starting a project and helps avoid changing memory files during setup. It also gives agents a shared record of project work.

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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/setup.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

On Board

On Board is a shared multi-agent memory server. It keeps project state under .agent-mem/ and is reached over MCP under the server key agent-memory.

Choose the matching path

Install, configure, repair, update, or diagnose On Board → read references/install.md.

It runs in order: pick the project and the MCP client, reuse or install the onboard-memory-mcp runtime, write only the selected client's project config, then report honest status (configured, or still waiting for restart/trust).

Installation is not memory initialization. Do not call memory_onboard, memory_bootstrap, or memory_init as a setup step or a health check, and do not create or migrate .agent-mem/ while installing. Offer to start the project afterwards — starting is a separate, explicit request.

Already connected and initialized, doing project work → read references/protocol.md.

It carries the session protocol: join, read the briefing, write after meaningful actions, checkpoint, and hand off before you stop. If the project has no .agent-mem/ yet, or the On Board tools are not visible in this session, go back to references/install.md.

Primary commands

Install or refresh this skill for a project. Project scope by default; the skills CLI manages client links and update tracking:

npx skills add swisspra/On_Board --skill onboard

Update the skill itself (this does not upgrade linked projects' runtimes):

npx skills update -p onboard
Files

What ships with it

3 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.

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.
