    Codebase Onboarding Context Pack — Adaptive Ramp + AGENTS.md for AI

    Example session with this skill installed

    Repository: signaldeck-ingest (IoT cold-chain sensor ingest + alert fan-out)
    Target: contractor · Goal: fix-bug (alert emails delayed 5–15 min under load)
    Scope: FastAPI API + Celery workers (ops UI out of scope)

    Tree: apps/api (ingest, alert_evaluator, settings), workers/tasks/deliver_alert.py,
    Redis broker, Postgres, tests only for pure evaluator math.
    Notes: queue depth grows; ALERT_SYNC_FALLBACK can send email inline on API in staging;
    no README; stale runbook; never print secret values.

    Ask: full onboarding context pack for this contractor engagement.

    Codebase Onboarding Context Pack

    1. Onboarding Summary

    FieldValue

    StackPython · FastAPI · SQLAlchemy · Celery · Redis · Postgres
    Target & goalcontractor / fix-bug
    Onboarding difficultyHARD
    Context completenessHIGH-RISK

    2. Difficulty factors

    No README · stale runbook · async API/worker split · missing worker tests ·
    ALERT_SYNC_FALLBACK tribal knowledge · security-sensitive env secrets (names only)

    3–4. Mental model & architecture

    Devices POST readings (HMAC) → reading_service → DB → alert_evaluator →
    deliver_alert.delay → Celery worker → email/SMS provider.
    Bug locus: fan-out / queue path (API can stay fast while emails lag).

    5–7. Domain + learning order

    Entities: Reading, AlertRule, AlertDelivery
    Learn: (1) ingest → (2) evaluate → (3) enqueue/deliver → (4) staff rule CRUD later

    8. Top risks

    RiskTypeMitigation
    ALERT_SYNC_FALLBACK in stagingtribal / securityDocument; align staging to async
    No worker testsmissing-testsAdd delay-mock + retry tests
    Secrets in settingssecurity-sensitiveFlag names only; never print values

    9–10. Path for this contractor

    Orient (compose up) → happy-path ingest → async boundary / queue depth → fix-ready hypothesis
    Checkpoints: name api/worker/redis roles; point to delivery intent; explain fast API vs late email

    11. First contribution

    Test that deliver_alert.delay is used on breach and provider is NOT called inline when
    ALERT_SYNC_FALLBACK is false. Safe, on the bug path, no real secrets.

    12–13. Tribal prompts + AGENTS.md quick pack

    Questions on fallback ownership, queue layout, retry semantics, HMAC rotation.
    Quick agent pack: key paths, gotchas, do-not-log secrets.

    14. Gate

    HIGH-RISK until docs/tests/fallback are cleaned up.
    Refresh when Celery routing, auth, or fallback flag changes.

    15. JSON

    Full Context Pack JSON matching schema (difficulty, flows, first_contribution,
    agent_context, assumptions).

    AGENTS.md

    Connects securely to your tools. The creator never sees your data.

    About this skill

    The problem

    • New engineers waste days guessing which files matter and which flows are “tribal knowledge.”
    • Generic “summarize this repo” prompts produce flat file lists without a learning order or a safe first task.
    • AI coding agents need size-appropriate context (quick vs full vs per-module), not a dump of the whole tree.
    • Security-sensitive flags, missing tests, and stale runbooks create high-risk onboarding if nobody names them.

    What it does

    • Rates onboarding difficulty (TRIVIAL → FORMIDABLE) from named factors (docs, tests, coupling, secrets, tribal knowledge).
    • Maps architecture, domain model, conventions, and data flow from the actual code.
    • Orders critical flows for learning by dependency (foundational path first).
    • Builds an adaptive path for target + goal (e.g. contractor + fix-bug vs junior + add-feature).
    • Recommends a first contribution that is small, safe, and on a core flow, with acceptance criteria.
    • Adds comprehension checkpoints, tribal-knowledge interview prompts, and layered AI agent context packs.
    • Issues a completeness verdict: ONBOARDING-READY, NEEDS-DOCUMENTATION, or HIGH-RISK.

    Frameworks & tools

    • Language- and stack-agnostic (works on Node, Python, Go, monorepos, services, workers).
    • Optimized for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, OpenClaw, and other SKILL.md hosts with file access.
    • Produces human onboarding docs plus AGENTS.md-style quick/full/per-module packs for agents.
    • No external documentation SaaS required—output is markdown + JSON you keep in-repo.

    Why this beats prompting it yourself

    • Adaptive to who is onboarding and why, not a one-size summary.
    • Dependency-aware learning order instead of alphabetical file lists.
    • First task is concrete and verifiable, not “explore the codebase.”
    • Risk register for onboarding anti-patterns (missing tests, magic flags, stale docs).
    • Honest confidence map; secrets flagged by location only, never printed.
    • Layered agent context so small fixes do not overload the model window.
