What it does

Onboard is an agent skill from nateherkai/AIS-OS. Use on Day 1 of an AIS-OS install, when someone says "set me up", "onboard me", "let's get started", "fill in my AIOS", or has just cloned the kit. Combined wizard — runs the 7-question intake AND scaffolds the Day-1 file set at the end. Idempotent — re-run any time after editing aios-intake.md.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `assets/aios-intake.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Project scaffolding. The repository describes itself as: AI Operating System starter kit for Claude Code and Codex. Five skills: /onboard, /audit, /link, /level-up, and /3d-brain. Includes the Three Ms framework.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Project scaffolding

Example prompts

“set me up”
“onboard me”
“s get started”
“/onboard”

Workflow steps

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

Read the intake
The interview (7 questions, hard cap)
Scaffold the Day-1 file set
The closing screen

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ce9cb93. 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 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,071 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~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.

NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:103

8. **No `.env` writes.** Don't ask for API keys on Day 1. Connections come Day 2.

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 1,071 words (~1,957 tokens).

“Single combined wizard. Reads or writes aios-intake.md (the canonical intake), conducts the 7-question interview if the file isn't filled, then scaffolds the Day-1 file set inline at the end of the run. No separate /scaffold-from-intake skill — this is one…”
