Create Onboarding Guide
Overview
Generate a structured developer onboarding guide by reading all available .chalk/docs/ documentation and curating it into a progressive learning path. The guide follows a Day 1 / Week 1 / Month 1 structure, starting with environment setup and a first commit, then expanding to architecture understanding and feature ownership. Every step is concrete and runnable — no "ask around" or tribal knowledge assumptions.
Workflow
-
Read all available documentation — Scan the full
.chalk/docs/directory tree:.chalk/docs/product/for product profile, PRDs, user stories, and roadmap.chalk/docs/engineering/for architecture docs, ADRs, runbooks, and incident history.chalk/docs/ai/for analysis documents and research- Root
.chalk/docs/for any overview or index documents Build a mental map of what documentation exists and what gaps remain.
-
Inspect the codebase — Use
BashandGlobto understand the project structure:- Package manager and dependency files (package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, etc.)
- Build and run scripts
- Test framework and test file patterns
