SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

New developers and contributors often lack the project-specific context, working memory, and checklist-driven verification needed to collaborate safely and efficiently with AI-assisted workflows. This Skill compresses essential onboarding — core philosophy, system structure, and operational skills — into a reproducible session so the team can align conventions, avoid context drift, and persist session knowledge for future AI sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured, teachable onboarding: Walks a new team member through core philosophy (AI memory, project-specific knowledge, context drift), system architecture, and a skill-by-skill deep dive so they understand why each component exists and what problems it solves.
  • Practical workflow examples: Demonstrates five real-world workflows step-by-step and explains the principle, what happens, and the consequences of skipping each step to reinforce safe, verifiable practices.
  • Guideline verification and customization: Checks the .trellis/spec guideline templates, guides filling project-specific conventions, and helps create a tracked task to populate guideline files so AI guidance becomes project-aware.
  • Session persistence guidance: Instructs when and how to record session summaries to the workspace so future $start sessions can restore context.

Quick Start

Ask the onboard skill to run a complete three-part onboarding and check or populate the .trellis/spec guidelines for this repository.

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

Onboarding new developers to an AI-assisted workflow system involves teaching core philosophy, demonstrating real-world workflows step-by-step, and verifying project-specific guidelines. This process ensures team members understand AI memory, context drift, and safe verifiable practices.

What is context drift in AI-assisted development and how do I prevent it?▼

Context drift in AI-assisted development occurs when an AI loses project-specific knowledge during a session. You prevent it by establishing core philosophy, using checklist-driven verification, and recording session summaries to restore context for future workflows.

How do I set up .trellis/spec guideline files for my repository?▼

Setting up .trellis/spec guideline files involves checking existing templates and filling in project-specific conventions. This creates tracked tasks to populate guideline files, making your AI guidance project-aware and ensuring safe collaboration.

Can I customize developer guidelines for AI-assisted development workflows?▼

Yes, you can customize developer guidelines for AI-assisted development workflows. The onboarding process checks .trellis/spec templates, guides filling project-specific conventions, and helps create tracked tasks so AI guidance becomes project-aware.

When do I need to record session summaries for AI workflows?▼

You need to record session summaries for AI workflows when persisting knowledge for future sessions. This ensures that future $start sessions can restore context, preventing information loss and maintaining working memory for new developers.

Does onboarding for the Trellis workflow require prior context management experience?▼

Onboarding for the Trellis workflow does not require prior context management experience. It walks new team members through core philosophy, system architecture, and skill-by-skill deep dives, compressing essential onboarding into a reproducible session.
