What it does
Onboard is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Use when taking over an existing codebase that has no living document. Produces a factual record of what already exists.
Its SKILL.md is about 490 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: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Taking over an existing codebase that has no living document
Example prompts
- “/onboard”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Explore entry points, public interfaces, key dependencies, test patterns, file structure. Read, don't guess.
- Ask the user about anything ambiguous — never invent architecture.
- Write docs/tech-spec.md using the canonical format (field meanings: archive skill, "tech-spec format")
- Confirm with user.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 78497e5. 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
Onboard loads about 486 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 206 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.

- description
- Use when taking over an existing codebase that has no living document. Produces a factual record of what already exists.
Onboard
Goal: read the codebase, produce living documentation. No code changes. No plans. No gap analysis.
living documentation
README.md: project overview, what it is, who it's for, how to use it.docs/tech-spec.md: main technical specification (core backbone, ≤300 lines).docs/specs/*.md: modular subsystem details split out when bulky (>15 lines). Referenced by path.
Technical specification is declarations only: current ground truth facts (atemporal, no narrative, no history, no plans).
Steps
- Explore entry points, public interfaces, key dependencies, test patterns, file structure. Read, don't guess.
- Ask the user about anything ambiguous — never invent architecture.
- Write
docs/tech-spec.mdusing the canonical format (field meanings:archiveskill, "tech-spec format"):
purpose / user / use-case / architecture / stack / entry /
contract / flow / invariant / constraint / convention- Omit
milestone— onboard makes no plans. - Details >15 lines (schemas, algorithms, protocol states) go to
docs/specs/<topic>.md. - Keep declarations atomic (≤25 words/sentence) with structured lists/tables; no text walls.
- Confirm with user.
<gate>docs/tech-spec.md must contain: stack + at least one contract + at least one convention (covering quality baseline — lint/format/typecheck tools, error-handling, security — read from code; see ../references/quality.md) before done.</gate>
Don't
- Invent facts not found in code or README.
- Add gap analysis, temporal/historical narratives, plans, or code changes.
- Paste large code blocks or schemas — reference by path or modularize into
docs/specs/.
After
docs/tech-spec.md on disk → user continues with normal design → plan → tdd.
