This skill systematically analyzes an unfamiliar codebase and produces a structured onboarding guide, suitable for new project joiners or when enabling Claude Code in a repository for the first time. It works in four stages: initial reconnaissance (automatically detecting package manifests such as package.json, go.mod, pyproject.toml, framework fingerprints, entry points, directory snapshots, configuration and test structures), architecture mapping (identifying languages and versions, frameworks and libraries, databases/ORMs, build and CI/CD systems, architectural patterns, key directories and data-flow paths), conventions detection (naming conventions, error-handling styles, dependency-injection and async patterns, Git/PR standards) and onboarding artifact generation (README/CLAUDE.md, architecture diagrams, run/debug steps, first-task recommendations and risk notes). The primary value is quickly reducing new members' cognitive load, unifying repository documentation, providing actionable first steps, and surfacing potential maintenance points — improving team ramp-up efficiency and reducing environment-configuration errors.
