What it does

Docmancer Onboarding is an agent skill from docmancer/docmancer. Set up machine-wide agent memory and open the local project workbench.

Its SKILL.md is about 150 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent memory. The repository describes itself as: Find out what your coding agents already know. Docmancer indexes the memory, rules, and instructions Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Gemini wrote on your machine, then carries… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Agent memory

Example prompts

  • “/docmancer-onboarding”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Run docmancer setup once on the machine.
  2. Change to the project and run docmancer web. The workbench safely creates or adopts the project tree and refreshes changed agent sources.
  3. Run docmancer status to inspect local health.
  4. Use docmancer import only when the user asks to copy arbitrary Markdown into the project inbox.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c5c76c6. 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

Docmancer Onboarding loads about 151 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 75 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~151

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.
