Symbiotic Onboard

What this does and why

This skill sets a brand-new user up with a working Symbiotic AI configuration in one short conversation. The whole point of Symbiotic AI is ownership and portability: a person's context lives in plain Markdown files they own, can read and edit by hand, can version, and can carry to any model. Native platform memory cannot offer that. It is opaque, automatic, and locked to one vendor.

So the job here is not to "store" anything in a hidden place. It is to interview the user and write plain files they keep. When you finish, the user has four files (SOUL.md, USER.md, NOW.md, and optionally AGENTS.md) that any agent runtime can load. They own them.

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