Project Onboarding Adapter

Purpose

Adapt this `.agents` bundle to a host frontend project without creating application source files. For React or Next.js, cache normal target-stack facts. For a non-target frontend project, cache only the detected stack boundary and the framework-agnostic skills that remain usable.

Onboarding must also adapt natively to the installed client target. It creates or refreshes the smallest appropriate host pointer, records client facts in local-only `project/client-profile.md`, and records tool capabilities in local-only `project/mcp-profile.md`.

Natural Language Trigger Aliases

Route adaptation, initialization, and project-context bootstrap commands here, including `адаптируйся`, `инициализируй .agents`, and `Adapt this .agents bundle to my project.` Full Codex onboarding includes model setup; explicit GPT requests also trigger that phase. A facts-only request does not.

When To Use

• The user explicitly requests economical GPT subagent setup or reconfiguration in a supported Codex project.
• The user asks to adapt this bundle to a new React or Next.js project.
• The user asks to adapt this bundle to a non-target frontend project while keeping applicable design, QA, review, lint, planning, MCP, context, and skill-authoring workflows.
• The user asks to create or refresh the host-root pointer, native client pointer, local project overlays, MCP profile, client profile, design-reference profile, verification facts, loop memory, or path indexes.

When Not To Use

• An existing Kit needs a version update: use `webdev-kit-updater`, preserving

existing project overlays instead of repeating onboarding.

• Ordinary screenshot-to-code implementation.
• Narrow project overlay refresh after implementation.
• Reusable skill authoring.
• Application scaffolding, package installation, or source file creation.
• Stack-specific React/Next architecture or implementation guidance for a non-target frontend project unless the user explicitly changes the supported stack.

Required Context

1. Read the host-root native instruction pointer if present and needed for adaptation: `AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, or client rules. Inspect the minimal pointer section for detection; read the entire file for requested migration using `common/host-instruction-migration-rules.md`. 2. Read bundle-local `AGENTS.md` when shipped and `common/core/runtime-core-policy.md`. Native plugins use their generated skill prelude; do not require an absent shared-policy entrypoint. 3. Read `common/client-adaptation-policy.md` and only the adapter for the resolved canonical target. 4. Read `profiles/react-typescript/PROFILE.md` and its owning policies only when repository evidence confirms the profile. 5. Read `common/skill-applicability-policy.md` when the detected or suspected stack is outside the target stack. 6. Read `common/tool-capability-model.md` and `tool-capabilities-manifest.json` for capability selection. 7. Read `common/context-compaction-rules.md` when loop memory or resumable workflow setup is requested. 8. Read existing `project/**` overlays when present. 9. Inspect only relevant manifests, configs, source entrypoints, routes, styles, assets, and verification scripts. 10. Read `templates/project/client-profile.md` and `templates/project/mcp-profile.md` before creating those local-only profiles. 11. Read `common/project-fact-provenance-rules.md` and `templates/project/verification-profile.md` before caching verification or capability facts.

Read targeted README sections only when they help identify project intent, setup guidance, or documentation drift. Apply `common/readme-policy.md`, and confirm every cached technical fact through manifests, config, source, CI, package scripts, lockfiles, or real
