What it does

H Onboard is an agent skill from m0n0x41d/haft. Bootstrap Haft through one readable onboarding surface, prepare an initial profile review or one bounded existing-scope relation change, and orient applicable specification carriers. Use for first-time setup, incomplete setup, or profile-underdetermined spec recovery. Project memory is ready immediately after haft init. Status and repository detection are read-only; all reviewed profile effects and specification lifecycle gates remain explicit human acts.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k 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: Engineering decisions engine that know when they're stale. Frame, compare, decide — with evidence decay and parity enforcement. For Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Codex and more.

When your agent uses it

  • First-time setup
  • Incomplete setup
  • Profile-underdetermined spec recovery

Example prompts

  • “/h-onboard”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Edit, mcp__haft__haft_onboard, mcp__haft__haft_query, mcp__haft__haft_spec_section

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Read one onboarding status
  2. Prepare a project-profile review
  3. Continue to applicable specifications

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e0c63f4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Write
    • Edit
    • mcp__haft__haft_onboard
    • mcp__haft__haft_query
    • mcp__haft__haft_spec_section

    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 bash and json).

    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

H Onboard loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 117 tokens; SKILL.md has 924 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~117
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Edit, mcp__haft__haft_onboard, mcp__haft__haft_query, mcp__haft__haft

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 924 words (~2,156 tokens).

“Contract truth: project-profile onboarding and automatic project-memory setup are V9 CONTRACT capabilities. Source, schema, skill, and local-test presence is not installed-runtime proof. A current readiness claim requires EXACT-CANDIDATE EVIDENCE from P14 tied to one exact candidate; RC or release status…”
