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 - Project Discovery & Ledger Creation Analyze a brownfield codebase and create an initial continuity ledger. ## When to Use - First time working in an existing project - User says "onboard", "analyze this project", "get familiar with codebase" ## How to Use **Spawn the onboard agent:** Use the Task tool with `subagent_type: "onboard"` and this prompt: ``` Onboard me to this project at $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR. 1. Create required directories if they don't exist: mkdir -p thoughts/shared/handoffs/<project-name> .claude 2. Explore the codebase using available tools: - Try: tldr tree . && tldr structure . - Fallback: find . -type f -name "*.py" -o -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.js" | head -50 3. Detect tech stack (look for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, go.mod, etc.) 4. Ask the user about their goals using AskUserQuestion 5. Create a YAML handoff at thoughts/shared/handoffs/<project-name>/onboard-<date>.yaml: --- date: <ISO date> type: onboard status: active --- goal: <user's stated goal> now: Start working on <first priority> tech_stack: [list of detected technologies] key_files: - path: <important file> purpose: <what it does> architecture: <brief description> next: - <su

What does the onboard skill do?
Analyze brownfield codebase and create initial continuity ledger
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill onboard --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 parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3, a repository with 3,885 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.
