Onboarding skill

The onboarding skill is a shareable guide for an assistant or human developer to test Compass Guard without reading this repo. Use it when someone asks to:

try Compass Guard;
get a live allow, review, or deny verdict;
wire the guard into an MCP client;
understand common hosted API mistakes.

What the skill enforces

Rule	Why it matters
Never invent API keys	Fake keys only return `401`; users should mint one with `/signup`.
Use recognized tool names	Unknown mutating tools are denied by default.
Inspect real JSON	Verdicts and reasons must come from the API, not guesswork.
Treat `review` as a hold	In the advisory tier, `review` means the agent should not auto-sign.

Source of truth

The raw skill remains in public/skill-onboard.md so existing /skill-onboard.md and /docs/onboarding routes continue to work. This Mintlify page is the public docs wrapper around that skill.
