Start Onboarding

Slash trigger: /start

Bootstrap persistent onboarding state and install the Project-Knowledge-First rule in the target repository so later slash commands and everyday agent work can resume without re-scanning the whole codebase.

Hard rules

  • MUST create docs/onboarding/ (or path from existing project-memory.md if present).
  • MUST install .cursor/rules/project-knowledge-first.mdc from the bundled rule in this skill directory.
  • MUST detect stack and repo layout before writing files — never assume monorepo or single-repo.
  • NEVER scan the entire codebase — use manifest-based discovery only in this invocation.
  • NEVER hardcode project-specific paths, repo names, or business domains.
  • Read at most 1 existing state file if docs/onboarding/project-memory.md already exists.
