What it does

Use on Day 1 of an AIS-OS install, when someone says "set me up", "onboard me", "let's get started", "fill in my AIOS", or has just cloned the kit. Combined wizard, runs the 7-question intake AND scaffolds the Day-1 file set at the end. Idempotent, re-run any time after editing aios-intake.md.

What this skill does

Single combined wizard. Reads or writes aios-intake.md (the canonical intake), conducts the 7-question interview if the file isn't filled, then scaffolds the Day-1 file set inline at the end of the run. No separate /scaffold-from-intake skill, this is one flow.

The wow moment: at the end, suggest the closing prompt "Try this, ask me: what should I focus on this week?" The user runs it once. That's the wow. There's no /today skill to save, the prompt itself plants the Mindset framework (Default Shift) for them to internalize.

When NOT to run this

  • If the user has already onboarded and wants to refresh: still run, but skip questions already answered (idempotent).
  • If the user wants to add a new connection: that's not onboarding, point them at connections.md to edit directly, or schedule a /level-up Phase 2 walk.

Execution

Existing projects and portable installation

Read the applicable AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md first. The paths below are starter-kit defaults; use an established project's equivalent canonical context, voice, and connection sources instead of creating parallel sources of truth. Preserve unrelated operating rules and routing, and synchronize shared manual edits where required. Onboarding updates selected personal context, not the entire operating manual.

If aios-intake.md is missing, use the bundled intake template. Populate only answers explicitly supported by existing sources, with references; leave unknowns for the interview. Installing this skill does not itself run onboarding or change the user's context.

Step 1: Read the intake

Read aios-intake.md. Check which Q1-Q7 sections have content vs. [Your answer here] placeholders.
