references/task-banks.md -- Reference task pools per engagement type and phase.
references/email-templates.md -- The five required email templates, their structure, and content guidelines.
references/scaling-and-pitfalls.md -- Timeline and team-size scaling rules, common pitfalls, and the final quality checklist.
Required Inputs
Gather these before generating. If any are missing, ask for them explicitly:
- Client Type: Industry, company size, maturity (e.g., "Series B fintech startup").
- Services Purchased: Exact scope of work or product tiers.
- Team Size: Number of people on both provider and client sides.
- Tech Stack: Relevant technologies, platforms, tools, integrations.
- Timeline: Total onboarding duration and any hard deadlines.
Workflow
- Collect all five required inputs from the user.
- Classify the engagement type (Consulting, SaaS, or Agency) using
references/engagement-types.md. This classification drives the structure and tone of the entire checklist.

references/scaling-and-pitfalls.md based on the specified duration.
- Apply team-size scaling rules from
references/scaling-and-pitfalls.md based on team composition.
- Generate all five email templates with full body content per
references/email-templates.md.
- Compile the complete
onboarding-checklist.md following references/output-template.md. Apply the per-type adaptations in references/engagement-types.md.
- Verify the result against the quality checklist and common pitfalls in
references/scaling-and-pitfalls.md.
- Write the file to the current working directory using the Write tool.
- Confirm completion and summarize key stats (total tasks, timeline, engagement type, file location).
