Cross-repo onboarding and harness readiness ​

This case study summarizes onboarding coverage we used to validate that Kitsoki’s readiness contract works beyond a single repository.

Scope ​

  • gears-rust — initial live onboarding pass with project-profile inference and command discovery.
  • slidey — harness smoke pass across dev/design/bugfix stories in the deck-focused story family.
  • postgresql — ready-heavy-check validation with deterministic local oracle context.
  • kubernetes — ready-heavy-check validation with deterministic local oracle context.

Evidence snapshots ​

  • stories/dev-story/app.yaml on live onboarding surfaced the inferred project profile for gears-rust and produced reproducible trace artifacts.
  • .context/slidey-pitch-dogfood-pass-2026-06-26.md captures the slidey story suite results and live MCP pass details.
  • .context/story-qa-run.md captures the readiness checks for postgresql and kubernetes.

Outcome ​

  • Onboarding is now treated as a per-target gate, not a repo-specific one-off.
  • The pipeline reuses the same MCP contract for discovery, profile drafting, status checks, and trace capture.
  • The same onboarding output is used as readiness input before any costed live fix or proposal work starts.
