onboard
Use at session start to detect available skills, load active context, and enforce skill usage discipline for the current session.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill onboard-arcasilesgroup-ai-engineering-2 --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Onboard ## Purpose Framework bootstrap and enforcement. Detects available skills, loads active context (spec, tasks, decisions), presents quick status, and enforces skill usage discipline. Prevents agents from bypassing skills with rationalizations. ## Trigger - Auto-triggered via SessionStart hook - Manual: `/ai-onboard` - Context: beginning of any non-trivial session. ## Procedure 1. **Detect skills** -- scan `.agents/skills/` for available SKILL.md files. Build a capability map. 2. **Load active context**: - Read `.ai-engineering/specs/spec.md` -- current spec - Read `.ai-engineering/specs/plan.md` -- current tasks - Read `.ai-engineering/state/decision-store.json` -- active decisions and risk acceptances - Read `.ai-engineering/contexts/team/lessons.md` -- accumulated rules and patterns 3. **Present status** -- concise summary to user: ``` Active spec: spec-054 (Hooks, Security, Observability) Tasks: 12/18 complete, 2 blocked Decisions: 3 active, 1 expiring in 5 days Skills: 29 loaded ``` 4. **Enforce skill discipline** -- install the following rule for the session: > **If a skill applies to the current task, you MUST use it.** No exceptions. No "this is too simple" shortcuts

What does the onboard skill do?
Use at session start to detect available skills, load active context, and enforce skill usage discipline for the current session.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill onboard-arcasilesgroup-ai-engineering-2 --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
