# hack init (agent-assisted onboarding)

Fetch the current onboarding guidance from the installed Hack CLI.

1. Fetch the canonical onboarding prompt:
   - With shell access: run `hack agent onboard` (works for new and existing projects).
   - Without shell access: fetch the `hack-init` MCP prompt from the hack MCP server.
2. Apply the relevant phases to the authorized workflow; preserve native approvals, credential safety, and runtime ownership.
3. Verify the requested services and host workflows. Report remaining blockers; unrelated optional integration warnings do not prevent completion.
