--- name: onboarding-plan description: "Create a structured 30/60/90-day onboarding plan for any new hire. Use when asked to write an onboarding plan, new hire plan, 30-60-90 day plan, or first 90 days roadmap. Produces a week-by-week plan with milestones, meetings, learning goals, and success criteria." --- # Onboarding Plan Skill Creates a complete, structured onboarding plan tailored to a specific role — covering the first 90 days with clear milestones and success criteria. ## Required Inputs - **Role and level** of the new hire - **Team and manager** - **Key stakeholders** they will work with - **Top 3 priorities** for their first 90 days - **Tools and systems** they will need access to - **Company stage** (startup / scaleup / enterprise) ## Output Structure ### Onboarding Plan: [Name] — [Role] **Start date:** [Date] | **Manager:** [Name] | **Buddy:** [Name] --- ### Before Day 1 (Manager checklist) - IT setup: laptop, accounts, email, Slack, key tools - Access provisioned to key systems - First week calendar blocked with key meetings - Buddy assigned and briefed - Welcome message sent with Day 1 logistics --- ### Week 1: Orient Theme: Listen, learn, do not act yet. | Day | Focus | Key activities | |---|---|---| | Day 1 | IT setup, team intro | 1:1 with manager, team lunch | | Day 2 | Product deep dive | Demo, key docs to read | | Day 3 | Process and tools | Shadow key workflows | | Day 4 | Stakeholder intros | 3-4 intro 1:1s | | Day 5 | Week 1 debrief | Check-in, questions logged | **Week 1 milestone:** Can describe what the company does, the team role, and their top 3 priorities. --- ### Days 8-30: Learn Learning goals: - Deep understanding of product from customer perspective - Know key metrics the team is measured on - Understand current projects and status - Map key stakeholder relationships - Complete all compliance/HR training **30-day milestone:** All stakeholder 1:1s complete. 2-3 early observations shared with manager. --- ### Days 31-60: Contribute Goals: - Own at least one project end-to-end - Make one meaningful contribution - Build cross-functional relationships - Identify one process improvement **60-day milestone:** Delivered one tangible output. Manager says "this person is contributing." --- ### Days 61-90: Lead Goals: - Operating independently on core responsibilities - Has formed and shared a point of view on priorities - Building reputation with key stakeholders **90-day milestone:** Ready for formal review. Clear 6-month plan in place. --- ### 90-Day Review Questions Manager: Meeting expectations? What to double down on? What to develop? New hire: Have the clarity, tools, support needed? What surprised you? What would you change about onboarding? ## Quality Checks - [ ] Before Day 1 manager checklist is complete (IT, access, buddy, calendar) - [ ] Each phase (orient/learn/contribute/lead) has a clear milestone - [ ] 90-day review questions are included for both manager and new hire - [ ] Plan is tailored to the specific role and level (not generic) - [ ] Key stakeholder 1:1s are listed by name or role ## Anti-Patterns - [ ] Do not produce a generic plan that could apply to any role — the plan must reference the specific role, team, tools, and priorities provided, not use placeholder text - [ ] Do not skip the Before Day 1 manager checklist — IT access and system provisioning failures on day 1 destroy first impressions and waste the new hire's first week - [ ] Do not set milestones without distinguishing between the orient, learn, contribute, and lead phases — collapsing phases produces plans where new hires are expected to lead before they understand the product - [ ] Do not omit the 90-day review questions — the review is the accountability mechanism for the entire plan, and skipping it makes the milestones meaningless - [ ] Do not treat the plan as a task list — each phase should have a clear theme and a milestone that describes an observable capability, not just a set of completed activities ## Example Trigger Phrases - "Create a 30/60/90 day plan for a new [role]" - "Write an onboarding plan for [name] starting as [role]" - "Build a first 90 days roadmap for our new hire" --- Source attribution: mohitagw15856 Original project: https://github.com/mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills/blob/4391fb006db13fe898f40a897bc369337a64e4e5/plugins/pm-hr/skills/onboarding-plan/SKILL.md License: MIT License information: https://opensource.org/license/mit Original upstream instructions; downloaded from Dave AI. ## Upstream license notice MIT License Copyright (c) 2026 Mohit Aggarwal Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
