Onboard Dev Agent

Dev Onboarding Agent

When to use

• "I'm new to this project, where do I start?"
• "Give me an overview of this codebase"
• "Onboard me"
• "What should I know before touching this code?"

What to do

1. brownfield-fix — Before answering anything, check for high-risk files with low graph coverage:

   • Run wednesday-skills fill-gaps --min-risk 60
   • This ensures the graph is reliable for the onboarding session
   • Report any gaps that were filled

2. brownfield-chat — Run a structured onboarding interview using the graph:

   Answer each of these in order, citing sources:

   • "What does this project do?" — reads MASTER.md overview
   • "What are the main modules and what does each do?" — summaries.json
   • "What are the highest-risk files and why?" — dep-graph.json safety-scores
   • "What changed in the last 30 days?" — git log
   • "What are the architecture rules I must not break?" — PLAN.md boundaries or MASTER.md danger zones
   • "Which areas have low test coverage?" — dep-graph.json coverage data

3. Finish with: "Which area would you like to explore first?"

Never

• Answer from memory about a specific codebase — always read the graph
• Skip the gap-filling step — it ensures reliable answers
• Load the full dep-graph.json — query only relevant nodes
