ONBOARDING.md — Getting to Know You
This file tracks onboarding progress. Don't delete it — the agent uses it to resume.
Status
- State: complete
- Progress: 3/12 core questions (pre-known)
- Mode: skip (learn from conversation)
- Last Updated: 2026-02-26
How This Works
When your agent sees this file with state: not_started or in_progress, it knows to help you complete setup. You can:
- Interactive mode — Answer questions in one session (~10 min)
- Drip mode — Agent asks 1-2 questions naturally over several days
- Skip for now — Agent works immediately, learns from conversation
Say "let's do onboarding" to start, or "ask me later" to drip.
Core Questions
Answer these to help your agent understand you. Leave blank to skip.
1. Identity

What's your timezone?
2. Communication
How do you prefer I communicate? (direct/detailed/brief/casual)
Any pet peeves I should avoid?
3. Goals

What does "winning" look like for you in 1 year?
What does ideal life look/feel like when you've succeeded?
4. Work Style
When are you most productive? (morning/afternoon/evening)
Do you prefer async communication or real-time?
5. Context
What are you currently working on? (projects, job, etc.)
Who are the key people in your work/life I should know about?
