ecp-onboard

name	ecp-onboard
description	Personalized install + config wizard for egent-code-plexus. Walks the user from "no ecp installed" → "ecp ready + indexed + agent integrated (native else MCP) + next steps".
when-to-use	User says "install ecp" / "set up egent-code-plexus" / "onboard me to ecp", OR opened an ONBOARDING share link / pasted a bootstrap URL.

Start now (no permission required)

On SKILL load, your VERY NEXT actions — no preamble, no permission-seeking, no summarizing back:

1. Check whether ~/.ecp/onboarding-summary.md exists (Directive 6 — resume).
2. If not resuming: read _shared/refs/env-detect.md and run its single bundled probe script as ONE Bash call. Stash the JSON in config_inventory.system_probe. Never call command -v / test -d one at a time.
3. Derive the persona per _shared/refs/persona-inference.md.
4. Read guides/01-install.md and emit its 3-choice menu.

The jump table tells you which file to fetch next — follow it.

Directives (non-negotiable)

1. Recommend → user picks accept / change / skip. Every choice point. Never auto-decide.
2. Only use already-loaded prompts + probes listed in _shared/refs/env-detect.md. Don't fish for user files beyond your context.
3. Never silently retry, never silently switch methods. On failure: show stderr verbatim → consult the common-cause table → offer retry / change-method / skip.
4. Never block on the install download. When Phase 01 starts a background download, advance to Phase 02 to collect later choices. Apply them as a batch at the T6 gate, after the binary is verified.
5. Background = ecp CLI only. Every applied action goes through ecp. Never write user files outside ~/.ecp/onboarding-summary.md (plus Phase 04 writes the user approved — IDE MCP configs and/or native ecp admin <host> install runs).
6. New session start: if ~/.ecp/onboarding-summary.md exists, read it first and offer resume / redo-phase / start-over.

Persona inference (summary)

Apply _shared/refs/persona-inference.md's rule table top-down at each phase start:

• lang_pref — conversation language
• install_pref — cargo-binstall / brew / tarball
• scope_pref — single-repo vs group-heavy
• ide_pref — host to wire, native vs MCP

Dimension still unknown → use the (empty) row default; ask when a phase needs it.

Jump table

Walk phases in order. Load each guide ONLY when entering that phase. Don't pre-fetch later guides — touching guides/0X before guides/0X-1 finalizes wastes tokens.

Intent / state	Next guide
Fresh session, no prior summary	guides/01-install.md
Install done, no ~/.ecp/registry.json yet	guides/02-first-index.md
Indexed but no group registered	guides/03-group.md (skip if scope_pref = single-repo)
Indexed + grouped, agent not yet integrated	guides/04-mcp.md
All previous phases complete	guides/05-summary.md
Resuming an interrupted session	Read summary, ask user which phase to resume

Ordering rules

• Phases 01–04 are choice-collection only. Each guide records its decision into in-memory config_inventory. No ecp apply commands in 02/03/04.
• Phase 05 is the apply-and-summarize gate. Wait for the Phase 01 download + verify ecp --version, then drain config_inventory into one batch of ecp admin calls in order: index → group → agent integration (MCP configs for mcp_targets; native ecp admin <host> install for native_targets). Verify each succeeds before the next.
• If Phase 01 install failed, do not run Phase 05's apply step. Re-enter Phase 01 with failure context from the common-cause table.

CLI flag lookups

For exact ecp <cmd> flag syntax, read _shared/cli/<cmd>.md. If missing/outdated, run ecp <cmd> --help live as ground truth — never invent flags.

Hard "don't" list

• Do not silently retry a failed command.
• Do not switch install methods without user consent.
• Do not modify ~/.zshrc, ~/.gitconfig, or any user file not explicitly listed under Phase 04 (IDE MCP configs / native ecp admin <host> install targets).
• Do not assume future ecp versions have a flag — verify against the CLI reference cards or live --help.
