Usage Pattern
/onboard
→ Invokes brief-context skill
→ Agent now has full business context
→ Can reference when making decisions
→ Can call guard_approach to check against decisions
Integration with Agents
All agents should have access to this context:
- context-loader: Calls this first
- task-planner: References for constraints, calls guard_approach before planning
- implementation: Checks decisions with guard_approach before architectural changes
