wiki-onboarding
Generate two complementary onboarding documents that together give any engineer — from newcomer to principal — a complete understanding of a codebase. Use when user asks for onboarding docs or getting-started guides, user runs /deep-wiki, or user wants to help new team members understand a codebase.

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.
# Wiki Onboarding Guide Generator Generate two complementary onboarding documents that together give any engineer — from newcomer to principal — a complete understanding of a codebase. ## When to Use - User asks for onboarding docs or getting-started guides - User runs `/deep-wiki:onboard` command - User wants to help new team members understand a codebase ## Language Detection Scan the repository for build files to determine the primary language for code examples: - `package.json` / `tsconfig.json` → TypeScript/JavaScript - `*.csproj` / `*.sln` → C# / .NET - `Cargo.toml` → Rust - `pyproject.toml` / `setup.py` / `requirements.txt` → Python - `go.mod` → Go - `pom.xml` / `build.gradle` → Java ## Guide 1: Principal-Level Onboarding **Audience**: Senior/staff+ engineers who need the "why" behind decisions. ### Required Sections 1. **System Philosophy & Design Principles** — What invariants does the system maintain?

What does the wiki-onboarding skill do?
Generate two complementary onboarding documents that together give any engineer — from newcomer to principal — a complete understanding of a codebase. Use when user asks for onboarding docs or getting-started guides, user runs /deep-wiki, or user wants to help new team members understand a codebase.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill wiki-onboarding --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 sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 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.
