Onboarding setup (`onboarding-setup`) Guided setup: creates your Project, interviews you to fill company-onboarding-context.md, and test-runs your first skill. Everyone runs this first. Say: "run onboarding-setup", "set up the onboarding pack", "I just installed the onboarding skills", "where do I start with this pack" ### 2. Preboarding planner (`preboarding-planner`) The plan from "yes" to day one: internal prep, keep-warm touchpoints, owners, and dates. Say: "run preboarding-planner", "someone just accepted our offer", "we have a new hire starting", "plan the onboarding for [name]" ### 3. Onboarding comms drafter (`onboarding-comms-drafter`) The internal emails that make it happen: IT, finance, workspace, access, plus the keep-warm notes to the joiner. Say: "run onboarding-comms-drafter", "write the IT setup email", "draft the message to finance about the new hire", "write the keep-warm note" ### 4. Welcome brief writer (`welcome-brief-writer`) The cultural brief the joiner gets a few days before starting, plus the congratulations choreography right after they accept. Say: "run welcome-brief-writer", "write the welcome brief", "what should Maria know before day one", "prepare the pre-start info" ### 5. Welcome pack designer (`welcome-pack-designer`) A welcome pack people keep: necessities per role, meaningful items, quality over logo count. Say: "run welcome-pack-designer", "design our welcome pack", "what should we put in the welcome box", "new hire swag" ### 6. Onboarding checklist builder (`onboarding-checklist-builder`) The per-joiner checklist with tasks, owners, deadlines, and flags, plus a tickable dashboard you can keep local or host at a URL. Say: "run onboarding-checklist-builder", "make the onboarding checklist", "build the onboarding dashboard", "how do I track where we are with Maria's onboarding" ### 7. Joiner companion builder (`joiner-companion-builder`) Builds the company's policy-answering assistant, so "where's the expense policy" stops landing on you. Say: "run joiner-companion-builder", "build the HR assistant", "set up the ask-HR bot", "new joiners keep asking me the same questions" ### 8. Team deck builder (`team-deck-builder`) The four-layer intro deck: company, function, team, person, reusable for every joiner. Say: "run team-deck-builder", "build the onboarding deck", "what do I present to my new hire", "prepare the intro presentation for Maria" ### 9. Team intro writer (`team-intro-writer`) The email that introduces the joiner to the whole team, photo included, approved by the joiner. Say: "run team-intro-writer", "write the intro email for Maria", "announce the new hire to the team", "introduce our new designer" ### 10. First goals writer (`first-goals-writer`) First goals and expectations within two weeks, plus the ways-of-working session with the manager. Say: "run first-goals-writer", "set Maria's first goals", "what should my new hire's 90-day goals be", "prepare the expectations conversation" ### 11. Week one designer (`week-one-designer`) The pre-booked first week: who they meet, when, and why, ready before day one. Say: "run week-one-designer", "plan Maria's first week", "who should the new hire meet", "design day one" ### 12. My first 90 (`my-first-90`) The joiner's own pinned chat: tracks their meetings, trainings, and goals, and answers "what's next". Say: "run my-first-90", "I'm starting a new job", "help me through my first weeks", "what should I focus on in my first 90 days"
