What it does
Onboard is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. /cs:onboard — Founder interview that populates ~/.claude/company-context.md using the canonical 7-dimension cs-onboard schema. The first command to run when starting with c-level-agents. Use when setting up the virtual C-suite for a new company, or when advisors lack company context — e.g. before a first /cs:boardroom or after a fundraise changes the numbers.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: 380 Claude Code skills & agent skills & plugins (30+ Agents, 70+ custom commands, 380+ skills, customizable references, scripts)for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and 8… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Setting up the virtual C-suite for a new company
- Advisors lack company context — e.g
Example prompts
- “/onboard”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Company name and one-sentence pitch.
- Stage: pre-seed / seed / Series A / Series B / Series C+ / public
- Headcount: total, by function (eng / product / GTM / ops / G&A)
- Geographic distribution: HQ + remote split, key countries
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19392f7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown and bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Onboard loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 432 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- /cs:onboard — Founder interview that populates ~/.claude/company-context.md using the canonical 7-dimension cs-onboard schema. The first command to run when starting with c-level-agents. Use when setting up the virtual C-suite for a new company, or when advisors lack company context — e.g. before a first /cs:boardroom or after a fundraise changes the numbers.
/cs:onboard — Founder Interview
Command: /cs:onboard
The first command to run when adopting c-level-agents. A structured founder interview that produces ~/.claude/company-context.md — the file every cs-* advisor reads before responding. Without this, the advisors are guessing.
What This Produces
~/.claude/company-context.md — a single file with the durable facts about the company. Read by:
cs-chief-of-staff(routing decisions)- Every cs-* advisor (context for any question)
/cs:brief(assumptions in any new decision)
The Interview (12 Questions)
Company Basics
- Company name and one-sentence pitch.
- Stage: pre-seed / seed / Series A / Series B / Series C+ / public
- Headcount: total, by function (eng / product / GTM / ops / G&A)
- Geographic distribution: HQ + remote split, key countries
Business Model
- Revenue model: SaaS subscription / usage / transaction / marketplace / hardware / services
- ICP: name one real customer and describe what they have in common with others
- ACV: median and range; deal count last 12 months
- Growth rate: ARR YoY; if pre-revenue, leading metric (users, MAU, etc.)
Financial Posture
- Runway: months of cash at current burn; bear-case months
- Last raise: amount, valuation, lead investor, date
Strategic Context
- Top 3 priorities for the current quarter (in plain language)
- Top 3 risks the founder loses sleep over (be specific)
Output Format
Canonical schema: ~/.claude/company-context.md is owned by the cs-onboard skill and follows its 7-dimension schema (../../../c-level-advisor/skills/cs-onboard/templates/company-context-template.md): Company Identity, Stage & Scale, Founder Profile, Team & Culture, Market & Competition, Current Challenges, Goals & Ambition. The 12 questions above are a faster structured intake that populates that same file — Identity/Business/Financial → Stage & Scale, Team → Team & Culture, Quarter priorities/risks → Current Challenges + Goals & Ambition. Write [not captured] for dimensions the quick intake doesn't reach (Founder Profile, Market & Competition); run the full cs-onboard interview to fill them. Never create a second context file or a divergent layout.

## Routing Hints
[Optional: any role the founder wants to use sparingly or rely on heavily]Show full SKILL.md (140 more words)Show less
Workflow
- Walk the founder through all 12 questions
- Quote founder's own words wherever possible (don't paraphrase the ICP)
- Save to
~/.claude/company-context.md - (Optional) If llm-wiki bridge is configured: symlink to vault
bash ln -sf ~/company-vault/00-meta/company-context.md ~/.claude/company-context.md - Confirm with founder: read the file back, ask "anything missing?"
When to Re-Run
- After a fundraise (numbers change)
- After a major pivot or product launch
- After 6+ months (most facts have drifted)
- After a major hire (team distribution changes)
- Always before a
/cs:boardroomfor a high-stakes decision
Persistence
By default, ~/.claude/company-context.md is local to the founder's machine. To make it persistent across machines / shareable:
- Markdown vault (recommended): see
../../references/llm-wiki-bridge.md - Encrypted dotfile sync: age + git
- Shared team: keep in a private repo, symlink from
~/.claude/
