onboard

Phase 1: Load Project Context

Read CLAUDE.md for project overview and standards.

Read the relevant agent definition from .claude/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.
