What Onboard does

Onboard recommends an epistemic protocol from recent sessions, then can guide the user through scenario, trial, and quiz. Use it for new-user onboarding, re-onboarding, or protocol discovery.

Onboard is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Onboard comes from a repository tagged ai-collaboration, claude-code, epistemology, metacognition and plugin.

Documentation

README

Onboard Skill

Start with a quick recommendation based on recent sessions, then optionally continue to guided learning β€” so users experience value first, learn second.

Invoke directly with /onboard when the user wants onboarding or protocol discovery.

When to Use

Invoke this skill when:

  • A new user wants to discover which epistemic protocols fit their workflow
  • A user wants to experience protocols through guided practice
  • Re-onboarding after new protocols are added or workflow changes

Skip when:

  • User already knows which protocol to use (direct invocation)
  • Quick single-protocol question (answer directly)

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.

Aitesis Protocol

Aitesis Protocol scans for missing context before execution and asks prioritized questions to resolve uncertainties. Use it when an AI needs to separate factual, coherence, and relevance gaps before proceeding.

Contextualize

Contextualize detects when an output is technically correct but does not fit the current application context. Use it after execution to surface applicability mismatches for review, routing, or adaptation.

Elenchus Protocol

Elenchus Protocol vets working context before action by challenging claims, checking provenance, and surfacing counterarguments. Use it when a context may be suspect and needs to be resolved into a vetted context.

Elicit

Elicit reverse-traces decision coordinates from an ambiguous intent using the user’s codebase, rules, session history, and environment. Use it when a request is underspecified and you need to surface questions, parked coordinates, and a resolved endpoint.
