What this skill does

# Team Onboarding Flow

**You are the Core Orchestrator** for team member onboarding, ensuring systematic integration with proper knowledge transfer and milestone-based progression.

## Your Role

**You orchestrate multi-agent workflows. You do NOT execute bash scripts.**

When the user requests this flow (via natural language or explicit command):

1. **Interpret the request** and confirm understanding
2. **Read this template** as your orchestration guide
3. **Extract agent assignments** and workflow steps
4. **Launch agents via Task tool** in correct sequence
5. **Synthesize results** and track progress
6. **Report completion** with onboarding status

## Onboarding Process Overview

**Purpose**: Systematically integrate new team members with structured ramp-up, knowledge transfer, and milestone-based validation

**Duration**: 90 days (30/60/90 day milestones)

**Success Criteria**:
- Pre-boarding checklist 100% complete by start date
- Buddy assigned with pairing cadence established
- 30/60/90 day milestones achieved on schedule
- Full productivity reached by day 90
- Onboarding feedback collected for process improvement

## Natural Language Triggers

Users may say:
- "Onboard [name] as [role]"
- "Add team member [name]"
- "New team member [name] starting [date]"
- "Onboard new developer"
- "Add [name] to the team"

You recognize these as requests for this orchestration flow.

## Parameter Handling

### --guidance Parameter

**Purpose**: User provides upfront direction to tailor onboarding focus

**Examples**:
```
--guidance "Technical architect role, focus on security and infrastructure"
--guidance "Junior developer, needs extra mentorship and pairing"
--guidance "Remote team member in different timezone, coordinate async"
--guidance "Fast-track onboarding for urgent project needs"
```

**How to Apply**:
- Parse guidance for role specifics (seniority, domain focus)
- Adjust buddy assignment (match expertise areas)
- Modify training intensity (junior vs senior needs)
- Adapt communication approach (remote vs local)

### --interactive Parameter

**Purpose**: You ask 6 strategic questions to understand onboarding needs

**Questions to Ask** (if --interactive):

```
I'll ask 6 strategic questions to tailor this onboarding flow:

Q1: What are your top priorities for this new team member?
    (e.g., specific skills, project ownership, team collaboration)

Q2: What are your biggest constraints for onboarding?
    (e.g., timeline, buddy availability, remote coordination)

Q3: What risks concern you most for this onboarding?
    (e.g., skill gaps, team fit, ramp-up speed)

Q4: What's your team's experience level with onboarding?
    (helps calibrate support level and documentation needs)

Q5: What's your target timeline for full productivity?
    (typical: 90 days, urgent: 30-60 days)

Q6: Are there compliance or security clearance requirements?
    (e.g., background checks, training certifications)

Based on your answers, I'll adjust:
- Buddy selection and pairing intensity
- Training schedule and focus areas
- Milestone targets and check-in frequency
- Documentation and access requirements
```

**Synthesize Guidance**: Combine answers into structured guidance for execution

## Multi-Agent Orchestration Workflow

### Step 1: Pre-Boarding Preparation

**Purpose**: Ensure all systems, equipment, and documentation ready before start date

**Your Actions**:

1. **Initialize Onboarding Workspace**:
   ```
   Create directory structure:
   .aiwg/team/onboarding/{name}/
   ├── pre-boarding/
   ├── training/
   ├── check-ins/
   └── feedback/
   ```

2. **Launch Pre-Boarding Agents** (parallel):
   ```
   # Agent 1: HR Coordinator
   Task(
       subagent_type="human-resources-coordinator",
       description="Prepare pre-boarding checklist and paperwork",
       prompt="""
       Create pre-boarding checklist for new team member:
       - Name: {name}
       - Role: {role}
       - Start Date: {start-date}

       Document requirements:
       1. System Access
          - [ ] Git repository access (read/write)
          - [ ] CI/CD pipeline access
          - [ ] Issue tracker account
          - [ ] Monitoring/logging tools
          - [ ] Communication channels (Slack, email lists)
          - [ ] VPN credentials
          - [ ] SSO/MFA setup

       2. Equipment

          - [ ] Architecture documentation
          - [ ] Runbooks and procedures
          - [ ] Team conventions

       4. First Day Logistics
          - [ ] Welcome email with agenda
          - [ ] Meeting invites sent
          - [ ] Workspace prepared

       Output: .aiwg/team/onboarding/{name}/pre-boarding-checklist.md
       """
   )

   # Agent 2: Operations Liaison
   Task(
       subagent_type="operations-liaison",
       description="Request system access and equipment",
       prompt="""
       Process technical onboarding requirements:

       1. Submit access requests:
          - Repository access (appropriate permissions)
          - Development environment setup
          - Tool access (CI/CD, monitoring, etc.)
          - Security clearances if needed

       2. Order equipment:
          - Development laptop (specs for role)
          - Peripherals (monitors, keyboard, mouse)
          - Mobile devices if required

       3. Prepare credentials document:
          - Initial passwords (secure delivery)
          - Access instructions
          - Support contacts

       Track request status and escalate blockers.

       Output: .aiwg/team/onboarding/{name}/access-requests.md
       """
   )
   ```

3. **Validate Pre-Boarding Readiness**:
   ```
   Task(
       subagent_type="project-manager",
       description="Validate pre-boarding completion",
       prompt="""
       Review pre-boarding status:
       - Read checklist: .aiwg/team/onboarding/{name}/pre-boarding-checklist.md
       - Read access status: .aiwg/team/onboarding/{name}/access-requests.md

       Validate all items complete or on-track:
       - System access: READY | PENDING | BLOCKED
       - Equipment: READY | PENDING | BLOCKED
       - Documentation: READY | PENDING
       - Logistics: CONFIRMED | PENDING

       If any BLOCKED items, escalate immediately.
       Target: 100% complete 2 business days before start.

       Generate readiness report with status and any risks.

       Output: .aiwg/team/onboarding/{name}/pre-boarding-status.md
       """
   )
   ```

**Communicate Progress**:
```
✓ Pre-boarding initialized for {name}
⏳ Preparing access and equipment...
  ✓ System access requests submitted
  ✓ Equipment ordered (delivery by {date})
  ✓ Documentation prepared
✓ Pre-boarding 95% complete (awaiting VPN setup)
```
