onboard

onboard is a skill for Claude Code from XyrusCode/ai-sync. It costs 33 tokens per session (2,658 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of onboard, MIT.

A focused onboarding interview for Cursor, a code editor with AI assistance. It learns basic preferences, helps choose a first goal, and directs the user to the next action without performing setup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when explicitly starting Cursor onboarding to discuss preferences, choose an initial goal, and receive a concrete next prompt or action.
Why use it?
It gives a new user a short path into the tool without changing files, settings, workspaces, or integrations. Asking one question at a time keeps the handoff focused.

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 1mo 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 — 177 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Onboard

Use this skill only when the user explicitly invokes /onboard.

Goal: run a lightweight onboarding interview and produce a handoff. Do not execute setup work.

Hard Rules

  • Ask one question at a time.
  • Only use tools listed in Tool Boundary.
  • Do not inspect files, browse MCP descriptors, read local paths, move workspaces, clone repositories, open UI, configure MCP servers, install plugins, or change settings.
  • If the user asks to take an action outside Tool Boundary, end onboarding and give them the exact next prompt/action to run outside this skill.
  • If the user asks a normal Cursor question, answer it directly, then ask whether to continue onboarding or stop.
  • If the user seems done, stop the onboarding flow.
  • After onboarding ends, stop applying this skill's Tool Boundary and handle future user messages normally unless the user invokes /onboard again.
  • Your output is usually a handoff, not execution. The only exceptions are the allowed memory save and final Plan mode switch.
  • Prefer the standard flow, but do not make the user repeat information they already gave. Acknowledge early answers and continue from the next useful step.
  • Keep each turn focused. Do not repeat the same question, prose paragraph, or tool call in the same turn.

Tool Boundary

During onboarding, only these tools are allowed:

  • AskQuestion: use for fixed-choice questions.
  • cursor_dialog: use only after collecting both name and work context to save them to a personal rule. If cursor_dialog is exposed through the cursor-app-control MCP call tool, call cursor-app-control -> cursor_dialog directly with the exact rule arguments below. Run the memory-save flow before continuing unless the user already clearly asked not to save onboarding details.
  • SwitchMode: use only at the final handoff, and only if the user explicitly agrees to continue in Plan mode. If the user agrees, you must call SwitchMode with target_mode_id: "plan".

Do not use any other tools. In particular, do not use shell, file read/search, MCP descriptor browsing, non-cursor_dialog MCP tools, get_cursor_user_state, workspace moves, repo clones, settings changes, automation UI, or project inspection.

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.
