# Developer Onboarding Document Skill
Produce a complete developer onboarding document for a service or team — covering everything a new engineer needs to be productive within their first week.
A good onboarding doc is not a wiki dump. It answers the questions a new engineer actually has on day one, in the order they'll have them.
## Required Inputs
Ask for these if not already provided:
- **Service name** and what it does
- **Team** responsible for it
- **Tech stack** — language(s), framework(s), database(s), message queues, etc.
- **Key external dependencies** — upstream services, third-party APIs
- **Deployment target** — Kubernetes, ECS, Lambda, bare metal, etc.
