Nm Gauntlet Onboard

Guided onboarding path through five stages: big picture, core domain, interfaces, patterns, and hardening

Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only onboarding guide whose requirements and instructions match its stated purpose and request no credentials, installs, or unusual privileges.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description describe a guided onboarding flow and the SKILL.md contains only staging and step-by-step onboarding instructions. No unrelated binaries, env vars, or config paths are requested.

Instruction Scope

Instructions are limited to presenting stages, challenges, hints, and progress tracking. The doc mentions actions like 'Load onboarding progress' and 'Track mastery' but does not specify reading system files, env vars, or external endpoints; this implies use of agent-internal state rather than accessing external secrets. The wording is slightly high-level/vague about where progress is stored, but not incoherent with its purpose.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill. No downloads, package installs, or filesystem writes are declared.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths; nothing in the instructions requests secrets or external service access.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request persistent system presence or modify other skills' configuration. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but is not combined with broad privileges here.

Assessment

This skill is instruction-only and appears coherent with its stated goal: it guides a developer through onboarding stages and requests no credentials or installs. It's low-risk to add, but note it is high-level: it presumes the agent or platform will store/track progress (no storage mechanism is specified). If you see a future version that adds an install step, requests environment variables, or instructs the agent to read files or send data to external endpoints, re-evaluate before enabling it.

Night Market Skill — ported from claude-night-market/gauntlet. For the full experience with agents, hooks, and commands, install the Claude Code plugin.

Guided Onboarding

Walk a new developer through the codebase in structured stages.

Stages

Stage	Focus	Categories	Difficulty
1	Big picture	architecture, data_flow	1-2
2	Core domain	business_logic	2-3
3	Interfaces	api_contract, data_flow	3
4	Patterns	pattern, dependency	3-4
5	Hardening	error_handling, business_logic	4-5

Steps

1. Load onboarding progress
2. Show current stage and progress summary
3. Present 5 challenges from current stage
4. Enable hints on first attempt
5. Track mastery (correct twice = mastered)
6. Check advancement (80% across 10+ challenges)
7. Report progress

Graduation

After stage 5, the developer enters the regular gauntlet. Answer history carries over.
