Skills repo-onboarding

Onboard a coding repository with both technical architecture intake and execution governance. Use when starting in a new/existing repo and you need: (1) architecture snapshot + dependency analysis, (2) run/build/test bootstrap map, and (3) ROADMAP + feature KANBAN workflow setup for multi-agent execution.

Repo Onboarding

Combine

senior-architect
(technical intake) +
repo-kanban-pm
(execution governance).

Workflow

  1. Technical intake (architecture + dependencies)
  2. Execution system install (ROADMAP + KANBAN + bug inbox)
  3. Onboarding report for handoff

Step 1 — Technical intake

Run from target repo root:

# 1) architecture assessment
python /home/broedkrummen/.openclaw/workspace-cody/skills/senior-architect/scripts/project_architect.py . --output json > docs/pm/architecture-assessment.json

# 2) dependency analysis
python /home/broedkrummen/.openclaw/workspace-cody/skills/senior-architect/scripts/dependency_analyzer.py . --output json > docs/pm/dependency-analysis.json

# 3) architecture diagram (mermaid)
python /home/broedkrummen/.openclaw/workspace-cody/skills/senior-architect/scripts/architecture_diagram_generator.py . --format mermaid -o docs/pm/architecture-diagram.md

If scripts fail, continue with manual fallback:

  • identify stack (
    package.json
    ,
    pyproject.toml
    ,
    go.mod
    , etc.)
  • capture run/build/test commands
  • summarize folder structure and core boundaries in
    docs/pm/ONBOARDING.md

Step 2 — Install execution governance

bash /home/broedkrummen/.openclaw/workspace-cody/skills/repo-kanban-pm/scripts/init_repo_pm.sh "$(pwd)"

Optional daily PM audit:

bash /home/broedkrummen/.openclaw/workspace-cody/skills/repo-kanban-pm/scripts/add_daily_pm_cron.sh "$(pwd)" --agent cody --tz UTC --time 09:30

Step 3 — Create onboarding report

Create

docs/pm/ONBOARDING.md
using
references/onboarding-template.md
. Must include:

  • architecture summary
  • dependency risks / circular deps
  • run/build/test matrix
  • env/config prerequisites
  • initial roadmap/kanban status
  • first recommended feature slice

Exit criteria

Complete only when all are true:

  • docs/pm/architecture-assessment.json
    exists (or manual equivalent documented)
  • docs/pm/dependency-analysis.json
    exists (or manual equivalent documented)
  • docs/roadmap/ROADMAP.md
    exists
  • at least one
    docs/features/<feature>/KANBAN.md
    exists
  • docs/pm/ONBOARDING.md
    exists and is actionable

Notes

  • Do not duplicate existing PM systems if repo already has one.
  • If an equivalent workflow already exists, integrate with existing conventions and only fill gaps.
  • Keep onboarding concise and executable by another agent in <10 minutes.
