project-onboard

Reads the current project's file system and determines which of 6 onboarding cases applies, then recommends the exact command sequence.

Triggers: /project-onboard, onboard project, diagnose project state, what do I run first, project setup help

Process

I run a 5-check waterfall in strict priority order. I read real files — I never ask the user questions. The first failing check determines the primary case assignment. Check 4 is non-blocking: a project can simultaneously be Case 6 (healthy) and have local skill issues.

Check 1 — CLAUDE.md exists

Read .claude/CLAUDE.md (also accept CLAUDE.md at project root for global-config repos).

If absent → Case 1: Brand-new project
