SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? New Exocortex users face an empty system with no identity configuration and no guidance on how the cognitive framework operates. This Skill detects first-use sessions and delivers a structured welcome experience that teaches the system before capturing the executive's personal constitution. ## Core Features & Use Cases - First-Use Detection: Checks whether the constitutional Macroverso (SOUL.md) exists or contains pending sections, and triggers the welcome flow automatically. - Multi-Gateway Presentation: Adapts the WELCOME.md content for Telegram (sequential cards), Web UI (rich HTML), or Hermes Desktop (long-form Markdown). - Bootstrap Macro Tutor: Operates as a temporary, explicitly non-personal initialization layer that teaches Macroverso, Microversos, tasks, vectors, and integrations before identity capture. - Onboarding Handoff: Transitions the user into the 6-block constitutional interview, including the optional Business Context block, or records that onboarding was deferred. - Use Case: An executive installs the Exocortex for the first time and asks what to do next. The Skill detects the empty acervo, presents the welcome content adapted to their gateway, verifies Telegram setup, and offers to start the structured onboarding interview. ## Quick Start Tell the agent it is your first time using the Exocortex and ask it to walk you through the welcome and onboarding process.

Frequently Asked Questions about excrtx-onboard-welcome

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start onboarding a new Exocortex installation?▼

Simply tell the agent it is your first session. The Skill checks whether macro/SOUL.md exists or contains pending sections, and if the acervo is empty it presents the welcome content and offers to begin the structured 6-block onboarding interview.

What does the Exocortex welcome flow cover?▼

The welcome flow explains what the Exocortex is, how it runs over the Hermes Agent, and how Macroverso, Microversos, tasks, and operational vectors work. It uses a temporary bootstrap Macro Tutor that teaches the system before capturing your personal identity.

Does the welcome presentation work on Telegram?▼

Yes. The Skill detects the active gateway via the HERMES_GATEWAY variable and adapts the format. On Telegram it splits the content into sequential cards under 4096 characters, while Web UI gets rich HTML and Desktop gets long-form Markdown.

Can I skip the onboarding interview and explore first?▼

Yes. You can choose to explore instead of onboarding immediately. The Skill records in memory that the welcome was seen and onboarding remains pending, and the bootstrap tutor continues to orient you until you complete the constitutional interview.

What happens if Telegram is not configured during welcome?▼

If the gateway is not Telegram and TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN is missing, the Skill guides you through bot creation via BotFather using the WELCOME.md instructions and creates a reminder file in the Hermes reminders directory.

What are the limitations of the bootstrap Macro Tutor?▼

The bootstrap tutor is a temporary initialization layer, not your final persona. It explicitly declares it is not your identity, teaches the system first, and must be archived or retired once the constitutional onboarding generates your real Macroverso.
