Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 2 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: get.volta.sh.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: failed

    Runs code fetched at install time in 1 place.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

About this skill

What it does

The Dev Onboarding Builder skill automates the creation of developer onboarding documentation and workflows. It generates a structured ONBOARDING.md file, complete with checklists for access, installation instructions, time estimates, troubleshooting tips, and introductions to team members and codebase areas. This helps streamline the integration process for new developers and improves their initial productivity.

When to use it

  • When you need to onboard new software engineers quickly and consistently.
  • To reduce the burden on existing team members who are currently responsible for onboarding.
  • For projects requiring specific tools like Node.js, pnpm, Docker, PostgreSQL, or VS Code.
  • When standardizing the developer setup process across a team or organization is desired.
  • To provide new hires with clear expectations and proactive solutions to common issues they might encounter.

Key capabilities

  • Generates an ONBOARDING.md document following a predefined template.
  • Includes access checklists (e.g., GitHub, Slack, cloud consoles).
  • Provides step-by-step instructions for environment configuration.
  • Suggests appropriate starter assignments and estimates time required.
  • Documents common issues and troubleshooting steps.
  • Introduces new hires to team members and provides a codebase tour.

Example prompts

  • "Generate an onboarding guide for a new backend engineer joining the 'Project Phoenix' team."
  • "Create an ONBOARDING.md file including setup instructions for Node.js, pnpm, and Docker."
  • "Build an onboarding workflow that includes access to GitHub, Slack, and AWS console."

Tips & gotchas

  • The generated ONBOARDING.md document relies on a predefined template; customization may require manual editing.
  • Ensure new hires have the necessary prerequisites (e.g., Git configured with work email) before starting the onboarding process.
  • Specific tool versions and credentials mentioned in the documentation might need to be updated regularly.
