How it fires

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Dev Onboarding Agent

When to use

  • "I'm new to this project, where do I start?"
  • "Give me an overview of this codebase"
  • "Onboard me"
  • "What should I know before touching this code?"

What to do

1. **brownfield-fix** — Before answering anything, check for high-risk files with low graph coverage:

  • Run `wednesday-skills fill-gaps --min-risk 60`
  • This ensures the graph is reliable for the onboarding session
  • Report any gaps that were filled

2. **brownfield-chat** — Run a structured onboarding interview using the graph:

Answer each of these in order, citing sources:

  • "What does this project do?" — reads MASTER.md overview
  • "What are the main modules and what does each do?" — summaries.json
  • "What are the highest-risk files and why?" — dep-graph.json safety-scores
  • "What changed in the last 30 days?" — git log
  • "What are the architecture rules I must not break?" — PLAN.md boundaries or MASTER.md danger zones
  • "Which areas have low test coverage?" — dep-graph.json coverage data

3. Finish with: "Which area would you like to explore first?"

Never

  • Answer from memory about a specific codebase — always read the graph
  • Skip the gap-filling step — it ensures reliable answers
  • Load the full dep-graph.json — query only relevant nodes
