Onboarding

anthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsOfficial

Takes the busywork out of spinning up a new hire by generating the full pre-start checklist, Day 1 schedule, and 30/60/90 day goals in one shot. You give it a name, role, and start date, and it maps out everything from equipment orders and account provisioning to a realistic first-week calendar and buddy assignment. The template is opinionated but flexible, with different suggestions based on whether you're onboarding an engineer versus a designer. If you've got HRIS or calendar connectors hooked up, it can pull org details and auto-create meeting invites. Honestly just saves you from rebuilding the same Google Doc every time someone joins.
