What problem does it solve?
New hires often struggle to become productive because onboarding is generic, lacks product context, and misses clear environment setup, starter tasks, and milestone check-ins. This Skill creates a personalized, product-aware ramp plan that aligns role, level, and product tech stack so engineers can contribute quickly and safely.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Profile-driven plans: Collects name, role, level, product assignment, start date, and buddy to tailor the plan.
- Product-aware environment setup: Extracts tech stack and architecture from PRODUCTS.md and project docs to generate accurate setup steps.
- Milestones & tracking: Produces week-by-week starter tasks and 30/60/90 milestones, creates calendar check-ins, saves a local onboarding doc, and logs a summary to memory for continuous improvement.
- Use Case: Ramp a mid-level frontend engineer onto the payments product with a first-week environment checklist, three starter PR tasks, and 30/60/90 check-ins.
