interkasten:onboard — Project Onboarding & Doc Gap Fill

Orchestrate classification, doc generation, drift scanning, and sync for all registered projects.

Trigger

Use when: user says "onboard projects", "fill doc gaps", "generate docs for my projects", or invokes /interkasten:onboard.

Prerequisites

• interkasten MCP server running (tools available: interkasten_gather_signals, interkasten_list_projects, interkasten_sync, interkasten_scan_files, interkasten_link)
• Notion token set (INTERKASTEN_NOTION_TOKEN)
• For full workspace onboarding: projects registered (run /interkasten:layout first if no projects exist)
• For single-page link: no prior setup needed — just a Notion page URL and a local directory

Workflow

Phase 0: Setup Check

1. Call interkasten_list_projects
2. If no projects are registered, present the user with options:

   No projects registered yet. How would you like to get started?
   
   1. **Full workspace setup** — Discover all projects, organize hierarchy, register with Notion
      (Run `/interkasten:layout` to scan your projects directory)
   2. **Link a single page** — Connect one Notion page to a local folder for sync
      (Lightweight — no full init needed)
   

   • If user chooses option 1: redirect to /interkasten:layout
   • If user chooses option 2: ask for the Notion page URL and local directory, then call interkasten_link(notion_page, local_dir). After linking, ask if they want to sync child pages too (sync_children=true). Then skip to Phase 4 (Sync & Report) with just the linked project.
3. If projects exist, continue to Phase 1.

Phase 1: Classification

For each registered project without a doc_tier set:

1. Call interkasten_gather_signals(project) to get raw filesystem/git signals
2. Analyze the signals and propose a doc tier:
   • Product: High LOC (>1000), active commits, has manifest, has src + tests — needs full docs (Vision, PRD, Roadmap, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md)
   • Tool: Moderate LOC, has manifest, simpler structure — needs AGENTS.md + CLAUDE.md
   • Inactive: Low LOC or stale (last commit >6 months) — skip doc generation
3. Present the proposed classification to the user:

   Project Classification:
   Product (full docs): clavain, interflux, interkasten
   Tool (basic docs): standalone-tool, tiny-util
   Inactive (skip): old-experiment
   

4. Ask: "Does this look right? I can adjust any project."
5. Update doc_tier on each project via interkasten_register_project properties

Phase 2: Generate Missing Docs

For each project, call interkasten_scan_files(project, "**/*.md") to see what docs already exist.

Product projects — generate missing docs in order (each builds on the previous):

1. Vision.md (if missing) — via interpath:vision
2. PRD.md (if missing) — via interpath:prd
3. Roadmap.md (if missing) — via interpath:roadmap
4. CUJs (if missing) — via interpath:cuj for each critical user-facing flow from PRD. Required for user-facing projects. Skip only for pure libraries/internal infra.
5. AGENTS.md (if missing) — via interdoc:interdoc
6. CLAUDE.md (if missing) — create stub with project name + quick start

Tool projects — generate if missing:

1. AGENTS.md — via interdoc:interdoc
2. CLAUDE.md — create stub if missing

Inactive projects — skip entirely.

Report progress as you go: "Generated Vision.md for clavain (1/5 docs)..."

Phase 3: Drift Baseline

For each Product and Tool project:

• Invoke interwatch:doc-watch to establish baseline confidence scores
• This creates the initial drift reference points

If interwatch is unavailable, skip this phase and note it in the summary.

Phase 4: Sync & Report

1. Call interkasten_sync to push all new/updated docs to Notion
2. Call interkasten_refresh_key_docs to update key doc URL columns in Notion
3. Report summary

Error Handling

• If a doc generation fails, log and continue with next project
• If Notion sync fails, report but don't block remaining projects
• If interwatch is unavailable, skip Phase 3 and note it in summary
• If a project's path no longer exists, warn and skip it

Output

Provide a structured summary table at the end:

Onboarding Complete!

| Project    | Tier    | Docs Generated        | Gaps Remaining | Drift Baseline |
|------------|---------|----------------------|----------------|----------------|
| clavain    | Product | Vision, PRD          | none           | established    |
| interflux  | Product | Roadmap              | none           | established    |
| tiny-util  | Tool    | AGENTS.md            | none           | established    |
| old-exp    | Inactive| (skipped)            | -              | -              |

Total: 4 docs generated, 0 gaps remaining, 3 baselines established
