What it does

Onboard Contributor is an agent skill from rundeck/rundeck. Guide a new contributor through the rundeck OSS repo. Use when someone is getting started with the project, asking how to build/test/contribute, or setting up their development environment.

Its SKILL.md is about 850 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 Testing & QA. It works with Java, Vue.js and Jest. The repository describes itself as: Enable Self-Service Operations: Give specific users access to your existing tools, services, and scripts. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Someone is getting started with the project
  • Asking how to build/test/contribute
  • Setting up their development environment

Example prompts

  • “/onboard-contributor”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Environment Check
  2. Project Overview
  3. First Build
  4. Running Tests
  5. Making a Contribution
  6. Code Standards Summary

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d526b7c. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • java
    • node
    • npm
    • nvm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 Contributor loads about 848 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 308 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~848

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.

Guide a new contributor through the rundeck OSS repo. Use when someone is getting started with the project, asking how to build/test/contribute, or setting up their development environment.

Onboard Contributor

Guides new contributors (external or internal) through the rundeck OSS development environment.

When to Use

  • New contributor asking how to get started
  • Questions about building or running the project
  • Questions about how to contribute a plugin, bug fix, or feature
  • Setting up a development environment

Process

Phase 1: Environment Check

Check the contributor's environment:

bash
java -version   # Must be Java 17
node -v         # Check .nvmrc for required version
./gradlew --version

If Java is wrong: suggest jenv, sdkman, or asdf. If Node is wrong: suggest nvm use (after checking .nvmrc).

Phase 2: Project Overview

Explain the structure:

rundeck/
├── rundeckapp/       Main Grails application (controllers, services, Vue frontend)
├── core/             Core Java library (plugin interfaces, shared utilities)
├── functional-test/  Selenium and API functional tests
├── grails-webhooks/  Webhooks plugin
└── gradle.properties All dependency versions defined here

Key points:

  • Backend: Grails 7 / Spring Boot 3 / Groovy 4 — use @CompileStatic on all classes
  • Frontend: Vue 3 + TypeScript in rundeckapp/grails-spa/packages/ui-trellis/
  • Tests: Spock for backend, Jest for frontend, Selenium for E2E
  • Migrations: Liquibase in rundeckapp/grails-app/migrations/ — never modify existing ones
Phase 3: First Build
bash
# Full build, skip tests for speed (~4-8 min)
./gradlew build -x check

# If it fails, try cleaning first
./gradlew clean && ./gradlew build -x check
Phase 4: Running Tests
bash
# Backend unit tests
./gradlew test

# Frontend unit tests
UI=rundeckapp/grails-spa/packages/ui-trellis
npm run --prefix "$UI" ci:test:unit

# Specific test class
./gradlew test --tests "com.example.MySpec"
Phase 5: Making a Contribution

For a bug fix:

  1. Write a failing test that reproduces the bug (Spock for backend, Jest for frontend)
  2. Fix the bug
  3. Verify the test now passes
  4. Run ./gradlew build -x check to verify compilation

For a new plugin:

  • Use the create-plugin skill

For a new API endpoint:

  • Use the create-api-endpoint skill

PR conventions:

  • Include tests for all new behavior
  • All PRs must pass CI before merge
  • See CONTRIBUTING.md in the repo root for the full contribution guide
Phase 6: Code Standards Summary
StandardRule
Groovy classes@CompileStatic required (or @GrailsCompileStatic for Grails artifacts)
TestsSpock only — no new JUnit
Vue componentsOptions API default, scoped styles, data-testid in tests
DB migrationsNever modify existing — create new ones
Strings in VueAlways use $t() — no hardcoded English
OkHttp responsesMust be closed or body consumed

Checklist

  • Java 17 confirmed
  • Node.js version matches .nvmrc
  • ./gradlew build -x check passes
  • Contributor knows where controllers, services, Vue components live
  • Contributor understands test requirements (Spock, Jest, Selenium)
  • Contributor knows the plugin development path (if applicable)
