Onboarding Overhaul Plan (Roadmap 2.1-2.4)
Nicholai received and reviewed a comprehensive plan for the next priority tier of Signet development. The onboarding overhaul involves restructuring five files across the template and skills system to fix structural issues (missing step indicators, no outline), add persona guidance, eliminate timezone redundancy, and clarify the relationship between manual memory saves (/remember, /recall) and the automatic memory pipeline.
The plan targets four key problems: current onboarding lacks structure and guidance, the /remember and /recall skills mislead users into manual workflows that duplicate the automatic pipeline, and timezone is redundantly requested in both templates and onboarding Phase 3.
Main changes:
- Onboarding skill: major structural rewrite with 6-step outline shown upfront, guiding voice section (warm, patient tone framed as style guidance not roleplay), step indicators at each phase, timezone removal, relaxation cues at phase transitions, quick mode updated
- Remember skill: hidden from users (user_invocable: false) with explanation that automatic pipeline handles capture and manual saves distort importance scoring
- Recall skill: disclaimer section clarifying automatic injection and when /recall is useful (targeted searches, debugging)
- User and Agent templates: one-line timezone deletions each
Implementation order established: templates first (low-risk), then skills (additive disclaimers), then main onboarding rewrite. Verification includes rebuild, skill sync check, and interactive testing of all three skills for prompt injection warnings, outline visibility, step indicators, and timezone removal.
Context: This plan follows completion of four "on fire" roadmap items (defaults, npm gate, hook isolation, non-interactive CLI).
