At a glance

Designs the joining and leaving experience — first-day readiness, ramp to productivity, knowledge capture, and clean exits.

  • SKILL.md covers Onboarding starts before day one, Ramp deliberately, Offboarding: knowledge before… and Exits are data, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Onboarding And Offboarding is an agent skill from cbrock84/headcount. Designs the joining and leaving experience — first-day readiness, ramp to productivity, knowledge capture, and clean exits. Use this to design or fix onboarding, shorten time to productivity, structure a leaver process, capture knowledge before someone leaves, or coordinate the access and asset steps around a joiner or leaver.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/sources.md`).

The repository describes itself as: An agent organization structured as a company — 15+ departments, 125+ skills, each independently installable, citing the standards and regulators that settle the question. Runs… The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “Use the onboarding-and-offboarding skill to design the joining and leaving experience — first-day readiness, ramp to productivity, knowledge…”
  • “/onboarding-and-offboarding”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 98d1c17. 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.

    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

Onboarding And Offboarding loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 563 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.3k

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.

Designs the joining and leaving experience — first-day readiness, ramp to productivity, knowledge capture, and clean exits.

Onboarding and offboarding

Both ends are cross-functional processes that fail at the handoffs. The failures are predictable, which means they are preventable by design rather than by diligence.

Onboarding starts before day one

Everything procurable in advance should be ready: accounts, hardware, access, a first assignment, and a named person responsible for the human side. A first day spent waiting for a laptop is a permanent first impression, and it is entirely a coordination failure.

The identity and equipment steps are executed by it-operations:identity-lifecycle-administration and it-operations:endpoint-management; access policy — what a role should be entitled to — belongs to security:access-and-identity. This skill owns the sequence and whether it actually completed.

Ramp deliberately

Separate the three things a new person is learning, because they need different support:

  • The job — often the part they already have.
  • The context — the systems, the codebase, the customers, the history.
  • The people — who decides what, who to ask, how things really get done.

The third is the one nobody plans and the one that most determines how quickly someone becomes useful. Make introductions explicit assignments rather than leaving them to chance and extroversion.

Give real work early, scoped to succeed. A meaningful contribution in the first fortnight does more for confidence and belonging than any amount of orientation material.

Check in at deliberate intervals — a week, a month, a quarter — with the question phrased so problems can surface. "What has been more confusing than it should be?" gets an answer; "how's it going?" does not.

Offboarding: knowledge before access

Knowledge capture has to precede the access cutoff, which means starting on the day notice is given, not the day before departure.

Prioritize what is genuinely undocumented and only in one head: the systems they alone maintain, the relationships they hold, the decisions whose reasoning exists nowhere. Ask directly — "what will break, and who will not know why?" — because they know and will usually say.

Then run the mechanical steps as a checklist with an owner: access revoked across every system including those outside single sign-on, assets returned, delegations and approvals reassigned, and handover confirmed by the person receiving it rather than by the person leaving.

Exits are data

Exit conversations produce candid information that is unavailable any other way, and it is routinely collected and never used. Aggregate themes over time and look by manager and by team; a single exit is an anecdote, a pattern across four is a finding for people:chief-human-resources-officer.

Sources

references/sources.md in this skill lists the outside authorities that settle the questions here — what each one is authoritative for, and what you may do with it. Check them before answering on anything they cover, and cite what you used. Most are free to read and not free to reproduce; the use note on each is binding.

Tooling

HRIS as the record of who works here and when they started or left: Workday, BambooHR, Rippling, HiBob, Gusto, ADP, and similar.

Onboarding workflow: the HRIS's own, or Sapling, Enboarder, or a checklist in the ticketing system, and similar.

Offboarding has to reach identity, devices, and payroll the same day. Whatever the tools, one owner runs the checklist end to end. Split ownership is how accounts stay live.

Never

  • Let a start date arrive without access and equipment confirmed ready.
  • Leave relationship introductions to chance.
  • Cut access before knowledge capture has happened.
  • Collect exit feedback nobody ever reads in aggregate.
