Onboard

Step 1: Project Detection

Read the following files to detect project configuration:

• package.json -- project name, type (check for workspaces field = monorepo), build/test scripts
• tsconfig.json / jsconfig.json -- TypeScript/JavaScript
• pyproject.toml / setup.py / requirements.txt -- Python
• docker-compose.yml / compose.yml -- services (monorepo indicator)
• playwright.config.ts / cypress.config.ts -- E2E tool
• .github/workflows/*.yml -- CI/CD (informational)

Present your findings to the user for confirmation: "Detected: {type} project with {languages}. Build: {buildCommand}. Test: {testCommand}. Confirm or correct?"

If detection found nothing: "Could not detect project configuration automatically. Let's set it up manually." Then ask the user for:

• Project type: single / monorepo / polyrepo
• Primary languages (select from: typescript, javascript, python)
• Build command (or "none")
• Test command (or "none")
• E2E tool (playwright / cypress / none)

Step 1b: Returning User Check

Check if ~/.codescope/global-memory.md exists and has saved preferences. If it does, show the user: "Found your preferences from a previous project. Use same setup or customize?"

• "Use same setup": Apply saved preferences as defaults for Steps 2 and 3, skip to Step 4.
• "Customize": Continue to Steps 2 and 3 with saved preferences as suggested defaults.

Step 2: Agent Model Selection

Show the user the 6 agent model assignments with recommended defaults: "Agent model assignments (recommended defaults shown). Accept all or select specific agents to override:"

Options: haiku, sonnet, opus, inherited (uses your current session model)

Offer: "Accept all defaults" or let the user override specific agents.

Step 3: Workflow Preferences

"Workflow preferences (recommended defaults shown):"

1. Orient verbosity: brief (concise ~50 lines) or detailed (~200 lines)? Default: brief
2. Clarification style: thorough (asks detailed questions) / minimal (fewer questions) / auto (decides based on task specificity)? Default: thorough
3. Eval gate mode: interactive (you review findings) / auto-debug (sends all to debug) / auto-skip-minor (only MEDIUM+ to debug)? Default: interactive
4. Convention strictness: suggest-only (suggestions) / warn (warnings) / block (errors)? Default: suggest-only

Step 4: Agent Teams Detection

Check if agent teams are available for parallel execution during orient (D-41):

1. Run the detection check:

   node --import tsx/esm -e "import { detectAgentTeamsOnboard } from './src/onboard/agent-teams.js'; console.log(JSON.stringify(detectAgentTeamsOnboard()));"
   

2. Parse the JSON result and act based on the status field:

   • If status is already_enabled: Display to the user: "Agent teams already enabled. Orient will use parallel execution when the planner identifies independent tasks." Proceed to Step 5.

   • If status is not_enabled: Ask the user: "Agent teams enable parallel execution during orient. Enable now? [Y/n]"

     • If yes (or Enter): Run the enablement:

       node --import tsx/esm -e "import { enableAgentTeams } from './src/onboard/agent-teams.js'; console.log(JSON.stringify(enableAgentTeams()));"
       

       Parse the result. If success is true, display: "Agent teams enabled in ~/.claude/settings.json. Orient will use parallel execution when the planner identifies independent tasks." If success is false, display the error message and continue.

     • If no: Display: "Agent teams not enabled. Orient will run sequentially. You can enable later via /codescope:settings."

Step 5: Write Config & Create Structure

1. Create the .claude/codescope/ directory tree with all subdirectories:

   • .claude/codescope/
   • .claude/codescope/services/
   • .claude/codescope/orient/
   • .claude/codescope/plans/
   • .claude/codescope/execution/
   • .claude/codescope/reports/
   • .claude/codescope/reports/screenshots/

2. Write .claude/codescope/.gitignore with selective rules:

   • Ignore: graph.db, graph.db-wal, graph.db-shm, execution/, reports/screenshots/, usage.md
   • Track: config.yml, conventions-enforced.md

3. Create ~/.codescope/ directory and ~/.codescope/global-memory.md if they don't exist.

4. Write .claude/codescope/config.yml with all the user's choices merged with defaults:

   schema_version: 1
   project:
     name: {detected or entered project name}
     type: {single|monorepo|polyrepo}
     languages: [{detected languages}]
     services: [{if monorepo, list services with paths}]
     build_command: {detected or entered}
     test_command: {detected or entered}
     e2e_tool: {detected or entered or null}
     e2e_command: {if e2e tool, the command}
   agents:
     researcher: { model: {chosen} }
     convention_detector: { model: {chosen} }
     risk_analyzer: { model: {chosen} }
     learning_synthesizer: { model: {chosen} }
     eval_judge: { model: {chosen} }
     debug: { model: {chosen} }
   orient:
     verbosity: {chosen, default: brief}
     clarification: {chosen, default: thorough}
     research_sources: [context7, web_search]
     max_research_time: 60
   execute:
     max_agents_concurrent: 3
   verify:
     build_command: {same as project.build_command}
     timeout_seconds: 120
     tests:
       unit: {same as project.test_command}
       e2e:
         tool: {e2e_tool or none}
         command: {e2e_command}
     auto_smoke: true
     static_check: true
     blast_radius_diff: true
   eval:
     mode: {chosen, default: interactive}
     auto_debug_max_cycles: 3
     criteria:
       scope_compliance: true
       convention_adherence: true
       completeness: true
       correctness: true
   conventions:
     detection_threshold: 80
     min_files: 10
     strictness: {chosen, default: suggest-only}
     auto_confirm_high_confidence: false
   learning:
     project_memory: true
     global_memory: true
     global_memory_path: "~/.codescope/global-memory.md"
     max_active_learnings: 50
     confidence_decay:
       gotchas: 90
       decisions: 180
     auto_capture: true
     capture_ignores: true
   bootstrap:
     scaling: auto
     squad_threshold_loc: 100000
     max_squads: 10
   display:
     progress_reports: true
     agent_activity: minimal
     eval_detail: full
   

5. Show the user a brief summary: "Configuration saved to .claude/codescope/config.yml. Run /codescope:bootstrap to analyze your codebase."
