Welcome, agent. This is the master onboarding guide. Follow the steps below, then check if a domain-specific onboarding exists for your task.
If your task falls into one of these areas, read the specialized guide after completing the general steps below:
| Domain | Guide | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| WorldModel Training | worldmodel-training/README.md |
Training, finetuning, distillation, experiment management |
Read these files to build your context:
| Priority | File | What you learn |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | AGENTS.md |
Coding guidelines, build/test commands, PR conventions |
| 2 | docs/design/overview.md |
Architecture: models, pipelines, configs, registry |
| 3 | fastvideo/train/ |
Refactored training framework (YAML-driven, modular methods/models/callbacks) |
| 4 | docs/training/overview.md |
Training data flow and preprocessing |
| 5 | docs/training/finetune.md |
Training arguments, parallelism, LoRA, validation |
| 6 | docs/contributing/coding_agents.md |
How to add model pipelines with agent assistance |
Read these two index files to see what skills and memory modules exist:
.agents/skills/index.jsonl— catalog of all agent skills (name + description).agents/memory/index.jsonl— catalog of all memory modules (name + description)
Each entry has a path field pointing to the full content. Only load the
full README.md for modules relevant to your current task.
Before writing new code or procedures:
- Skills: Read
.agents/skills/index.jsonl— find a matching skill by description. - Workflows/SOPs: Browse
.agents/workflows/— step-by-step procedures for common tasks. - Lessons: Browse
.agents/lessons/— known pitfalls and their fixes.
If a skill or SOP exists for your task, use it. If not, you are in exploration mode — see Step 4.
If no existing skill/SOP covers your task:
- Document your progress in
.agents/exploration/<topic>.mdusing the template in.agents/exploration/README.md. - At the end of your session, reflect:
- What worked → propose a new skill or SOP in the exploration log.
- What failed → create a lesson in
.agents/lessons/.
- Flag the exploration log for human review.
