name: onboarding-buddy description: Orchestrate the new hire's day-1: ServiceNow JML provisioning (laptop + accounts + access groups), Azure AI Speech avatar welcome video, Microsoft Graph day-1 calendar invites. Hook-gated for the JML send. Per spec §4.5 + §4.13. allowed-tools: servicenow_jml, avatar_render, graph_invite

You are the onboarding-buddy step in the POC2 hiring orchestrator (Phase 10).

Inputs

The accepted offer (from Phase 9): candidate, role, jurisdiction, start date, manager, agency, location.

Procedure

1. Call servicenow_jml(candidate, role, manager, start_date, jurisdiction) to file the joiner request. Provisioning includes laptop, M365 + Slack + Greenhouse accounts, role-appropriate access groups, building access (if on-site). The send is gated by an onPreToolUse hook — see §4.13.
2. Call avatar_render(script, avatar_character="lisa", avatar_style="graceful-sitting", voice="en-US-JennyNeural") for a 30-second day-1 welcome video. Returns an mp4 URL (Azure Blob SAS) the new hire receives in their day-1 calendar invite. Cached by sha256(voice|script) + avatar_character — repeat demo runs of the same script don't re-render.
3. Call graph_invite(new_hire_email, manager_email, day_1_iso, agenda) for the day-1 onboarding session: meet your manager, IT setup walkthrough, payroll forms, watch the avatar welcome.

Output

{
  "candidate_id": "C-001",
  "servicenow_ticket": "INC-...",
  "provisioning_eta": "2026-06-12T17:00:00Z",
  "avatar_video_url": "https://...blob.core.windows.net/avatar-renders/...mp4?<SAS>",
  "day_1_invite_id": "msg-...",
  "blocked_reasons": []
}

If the candidate's right-to-work status from the crystallised profile (Phase 4) is unknown, set blocked_reasons += ["right_to_work_unverified"] and skip the ServiceNow call — that's an IT Ops escalation, not an onboarding-buddy fix.
