name	description	argument-hint
onboard	Scan a project (or scope of projects) and propose candidate agents, hooks, and primitives based on detected stack, CI, deploy, tests, and env surface. Three modes — Full auto, Step-by-step, Full manual — reuse the same scan+propose foundation and differ only in confirm-gate count. Delegates to /new-agent, /escalate-recurrence, and kei-sleep-queue.	<project-path or glob scope>

Onboard — Auto Project Analysis (index)

You are analysing an existing project (or a scope of projects) and proposing the right kit artefacts for it: project-specialist agents, stack-specific hooks, and install-time primitives.

This skill is a proposer + applier, not a manifest writer. It scans, scores, proposes, and then delegates each accepted candidate to the existing pipeline:

• Agents → handoff to /new-agent (the 8-phase wizard)
• Hooks + rules → handoff to /escalate-recurrence
• Primitives → kei-sleep-queue add (or direct install.sh --add= suggestion in the final report)

This SKILL.md is the INDEX. Each phase lives in its own file and runs in strict order. Never skip or re-order phases.

Prerequisite check

Before Phase 1, verify the kit baseline is present:

• ~/.claude/skills/new-agent/SKILL.md (or the kit-shipped skills/new-agent/SKILL.md) — required for agent delegation
• ~/.claude/skills/escalate-recurrence/SKILL.md — required for hook/rule delegation
• ~/.claude/skills/compose-solution/SKILL.md — required only when a proposed candidate crosses artefact boundaries

If any are missing, stop and tell the user: "Install KeiSeiKit v0.12+ first (run install.sh --profile=dev from the kit repo)." Do not fall through.

Pipeline overview (5 phases + final report)

Phase	File	Purpose	AskUserQuestion
1	phase-1-scan.md	Free-text intake + Bash scan of artefacts	1× (scope granularity, multi-project only)
2	phase-2-propose.md	Analyse scan → propose N agents, M hooks, K primitives	0
3	phase-3-mode-pick.md	Pick Full auto / Step-by-step / Full manual	1×
4	phase-4-apply.md	Apply by mode (each mode has its own confirm-gates)	1-N×
5	phase-5-report.md	Summary + suggested next steps	0

Minimum AskUserQuestion count across the 5 phases: 6 — 1 (Phase 1 scope-granularity if multi-project), 1 (Phase 3 mode), at least 4 inside Phase 4 (mode-specific confirms: Full-auto has 1; Step-by-step has ≥N per candidate; Full manual delegates per candidate, each wizard emitting its own AskUserQuestion calls).

Variables the pipeline produces

Name	Set in	Meaning
PATHS	Phase 1a	One or more project root paths (glob-resolved)
SCAN	Phase 1b	Per-project scan summary: stack, CI, deploy, tests, README-purpose, recent activity, env-var surface
CANDIDATES	Phase 2	List of (kind, name, confidence, rationale) tuples — kind ∈ {agent, hook, primitive}
MODE	Phase 3	full-auto / step-by-step / full-manual
APPLIED	Phase 4	Candidates that were applied (path + delegation target)
SKIPPED	Phase 4	Candidates the user declined

Final report (emit after Phase 5)

=== ONBOARD REPORT ===
Scope:       <1 project | N projects>
Scan:        <stack(s) | CI | deploy | tests | env-vars>
Proposed:    <N agents | M hooks | K primitives>
Mode:        <full-auto | step-by-step | full-manual>
Applied:     <N agents | M hooks | K primitives>
Skipped:     <count>
Next:        <e.g. "run install.sh --profile=dev to enable /schema-design if DB detected">

Rules (apply throughout)

• RULE 0.4 (NO HALLUCINATION). Phase-1 scan uses exact grep/ls output. If grep returns nothing for a framework, mark it as "not detected". Never invent a framework based on directory names or README prose alone. Confidence grade (E3-E4 for scan-derived, never E1-E2).
• RULE 0.8 (SECRETS). Never read actual .env or secrets/*.env files. Read only .env.example, .env.template, and schema files. The env-var surface in Phase 1b is the list of KEY names, never values.
• RULE 0.13 (NO GIT). This skill does not invoke git. The orchestrator (or the user in a follow-up turn) handles commits.
• NO DOWNGRADE. Any phase that fails returns 2-3 constructive paths, never "can't be done". Example: scan finds no lockfile → propose "(A) Ask user to specify stack, (B) Scan for code-file extensions, (C) Skip stack-specialisation, propose generic agent only".
• Plan Mode First. This skill IS the plan; each phase has a verify-criterion. No Edit/Write before the corresponding phase's confirm click.
• Constructor Pattern. Each phase file is a single cube. This index stays ≤200 LOC; phase files each ≤150 LOC. Candidates that exceed complexity budget at application time are split — never stuffed into one manifest.
• Surgical Changes. Onboard writes nothing directly — all writes are delegated to /new-agent, /escalate-recurrence, or kei-sleep-queue. The only in-place artefacts onboard produces are ephemeral scan summaries displayed in the conversation.
