Workflow Onboard
First-contact orientation for an unfamiliar codebase. Reads package manifests, entry points, routing, data layer, auth, environment variables, and recent git history. Produces a concise briefing: what the app does, how it's structured, how to run it locally, and the top areas to understand first. Generic across web, mobile, and full-stack repos. Use when "I'm new to this repo", "orient me", "explain this codebase", "what does this do?", "onboard me", "first day on this project", or "catch me up on the codebase".
