FAQPage Schema
How do I onboard new developers to an AI-assisted workflow?▼

Onboard new developers by running a guided three-part process covering core AI memory concepts, real-world workflow examples, and project-specific guideline customization to ensure alignment.

What is context drift and how does an AI workflow handle it?▼

Context drift occurs when an AI loses project-specific knowledge during a session. This workflow handles it through memory restoration and ongoing check-and-record mechanisms that maintain alignment.

How do I set up project-specific guidelines for an AI workflow?▼

Set up project-specific guidelines by evaluating and filling configuration files in the `.trellis/spec/` directory, then learning how to update them to maintain specialized knowledge injection.

Can existing engineers use this onboarding to understand the system structure?▼

Yes, existing engineers can use the onboarding to understand the system structure through command deep-dives and real-world workflow examples, restoring their memory of core project philosophy.

What are the limitations of using a guided onboarding checklist for AI memory?▼

The guided onboarding checklist requires completion of all three parts, including manual guideline customization in `.trellis/spec/`, to effectively prevent context drift and maintain session alignment.
