/session-memory:onboard — Team Onboarding

Inject relevant knowledge cards for a new team member based on their role.

Steps

1. Parse role argument (optional):

   • If provided: frontend, backend, fullstack, devops, designer, pm, etc.
   • If not provided: show all onboarding + high-importance cards

2. Collect onboarding cards from .claude/memory/cards/*.md:

   Priority order:

   1. Cards with type: onboarding (always included)
   2. Cards with type: decision + importance >= 2 (architectural context)
   3. Cards with type: constraint (must-know limitations)
   4. Cards with type: gotcha + importance >= 2 (critical pitfalls)
   5. Cards with type: runbook (operational procedures)

   Role filtering (when role is specified):

   • Match against card tags field
   • frontend → tags containing: frontend, ui, css, react, next, component
   • backend → tags containing: backend, api, database, server, auth, migration
   • fullstack → include both frontend and backend tags
   • devops → tags containing: devops, ci, cd, deploy, infra, docker, k8s
   • designer → tags containing: design, ui, ux, figma, style
   • pm → tags containing: process, decision, constraint, requirement
   • No role match → include all cards

3. Display format:

=== Team Onboarding Package ===
Role: [role or "all"]
Cards: [count] knowledge cards

--- Onboarding ---
1. [onboarding] Dev Environment Setup (importance: 3)
   TL;DR: Install Node 20, run `npm install`, copy .env.example to .env
   Files: package.json, .env.example

2. [onboarding] Git Workflow (importance: 2)
   TL;DR: Feature branches from main, PR required, squash merge
   Files: .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md

--- Key Decisions ---
3. [decision] PostgreSQL over MongoDB (importance: 3)
   TL;DR: Chose PostgreSQL for ACID compliance and complex queries
   Files: src/db/schema.ts

--- Constraints ---
4. [constraint] API Rate Limit (importance: 2)
   TL;DR: External API limited to 100 req/min, must use queue
   Files: src/services/api-client.ts

--- Watch Out ---
5. [gotcha] Auth null check (importance: 2)
   TL;DR: req.user can be null before middleware
   Files: src/auth.ts

--- Runbooks ---
6. [runbook] Database Migration (importance: 2)
   TL;DR: Run migrate:generate, then migrate:run, test on staging first
   Files: src/db/migrations/

=== End Onboarding ===
Tip: Use /session-memory:search to find specific topics

4. If no cards exist:

   • Suggest creating initial onboarding cards: "No onboarding cards found. Create your first with /session-memory:card"
   • Offer to auto-generate starter cards based on project structure

5. Track onboarding delivery:

   • Record onboarding event to events file for analytics
   • Log: which cards were delivered, to which role

Role Tag Mapping

Role	Tag keywords
frontend	frontend, ui, css, react, next, component, tailwind, style
backend	backend, api, database, server, auth, migration, queue, cache
fullstack	(frontend + backend combined)
devops	devops, ci, cd, deploy, infra, docker, k8s, terraform, aws
designer	design, ui, ux, figma, style, component, accessibility
pm	process, decision, constraint, requirement, scope, timeline

Important Rules

• Always include type: onboarding cards regardless of role
• Sort by importance (descending) within each type group
• Show full TL;DR for each card
• If a card has visibility: private, skip it (onboarding should be team-visible)
• Maximum 20 cards per onboarding package
