Project Onboarding & Documentation

Overview

Generate the documentation that makes a codebase self-explanatory. New engineers (and new Claude sessions) should be productive within an hour.

Core principle: If it takes more than 15 minutes to set up the dev environment or more than an hour to understand the architecture, the docs have failed.

When to Use

• Setting up a new project (after scaffolding)
• Onboarding a new team member
• New Claude session on an existing codebase
• After major architectural changes
• Periodic documentation refresh
