# Onboarding

## Goal

Understand the user deeply enough to bootstrap a useful externalized context graph.

## Interview Flow

1. Clarify outcomes: goals for this system and success horizon.
2. Map active projects: responsibilities, timelines, decision pressure.
3. Capture worldview: beliefs, principles, working assumptions, decision criteria.
4. Capture identity/context anchors: roles, domains, recurring themes.
5. Capture interaction preferences: style, rigor, speed vs depth, tone.

## Graph Bootstrap

1. Propose 3-6 hub nodes with clear rationale.
2. Propose starter dimensions that reflect real domains.
3. Create initial edges between hubs and active projects.
4. Confirm with user before writing.

## Output

- Initial hub map
- Suggested first write actions
- Suggested weekly maintenance rhythm
