Onboarding a new person

There's no signup — you onboard by committing your own logs/ and goals/ folders, the same way everyone else here did. The example-person folders in the repo are a living template: copy their pattern rather than inventing your own.

1. 1. Pick a slug

   A lowercase, hyphenated name (e.g. jane-doe) — this exact string is used everywhere: frontmatter's person field, the URL, dashboard cards. There's no separate display name, so keep it URL-safe and don't use spaces or capitals.

2. 2. Create your first goal file

   A person only shows up on the dashboard once they have at least one log or goal entry — one pending goal with no schedule yet is enough to start. Fill this in and it'll open a prefilled file on GitHub for you to commit:

   Your slug Topic Goal title

   Create goal file on GitHub

   See goals/example-person/claude-cert.md for what a schedule-less starter goal looks like once committed.

3. 3. Log sessions as you go

   Not required on day one — a zero-entry person still renders correctly everywhere. Once you're ready, every person's hub page has a Log today form of its own; see the logging guide for the full set of fields, statuses, and limits.

4. 4. Don't touch any code

   Topics, schedules, and the person list are all derived from your files — nothing is hardcoded. If onboarding ever seems to require a code change, something's wrong with the code, not your files.

Full source: CLAUDE.md. Once committed, your files live at src/content/goals/<your-slug>/ and src/content/logs/<your-slug>/ in the repo.
