onboard

<!-- codex-studio-delegation: governed -->

Resolve every role through ../../../.codex/docs/plugin-agent-delegation.md; do not require a repository-local .codex/agents/ or .codex/agent-packs/ tree. Before default delegation, run python3 ../../../tools/codex_studio/agent_delegation.py resolve --project-root <project-root> --role <role> and use only its returned role contract.

Codex Interaction Contract

• Ask one decision question per turn and wait for the answer before asking another.
• Use request_user_input for structured choices when it is available; otherwise ask the same concise question directly.
• Use Codex custom agents by role and profile when delegation is useful.
• Treat any approved write as one complete proposed changeset. Before writing, present every target path and material edit together; do not add unlisted files or behavior.
• A new path, expanded scope, or material change requires a revised complete proposed changeset and fresh approval.

Output Safety

Generate the onboarding draft in conversation. Before writing, show the complete proposed changeset and target path and ask once for approval.

Phase 1: Load Project Context

Read AGENTS.md for project overview and standards.

Read the relevant agent definition from .codex/agents/ if a specific role is specified.

---

Phase 2: Scan Relevant Area

• For programmers: scan src/ for architecture, patterns, key files
• For designers: scan design/ for existing design documents
• For narrative: scan design/narrative/ for world-building and story docs
• For QA: scan tests/ for existing test coverage
• For production: scan production/ for current sprint and milestone

Read recent changes (git log if available) to understand current momentum.

Phase 4: Complete Proposed Changeset

Show the onboarding draft and canonical path production/onboarding/onboard-[role]-[date].md. Ask once whether to approve that complete proposed changeset before writing. Write only that approved file.

Phase 5: Next Steps

Verdict: COMPLETE — onboarding document generated.

• Share the onboarding doc with the new contributor before their first session.
• Run $sprint-status to show the new contributor current progress.
• Run $help if the contributor needs guidance on what to work on next.
