About this skill
The Client Onboarding Workflow Builder Skill helps agencies, freelancers, consultants, SaaS teams, and service businesses turn messy discovery notes, proposal details, and project scope into a professional onboarding system. It creates client welcome emails, kickoff agendas, access request lists, project timelines, responsibility matrices, and internal handoff notes, clearly separating client-facing communication from internal team notes. It recommends secure access methods instead of requesting passwords or credentials, and marks scope, deadlines, or approvals as not provided rather than inventing them. This makes it useful for website, marketing, AI automation, design, and technical implementation projects, helping delivery teams start client work with clear responsibilities, the right materials collected, and a smooth handoff from sales to delivery.

Examples
A new client hired us to redesign their website. We need a welcome email, kickoff agenda, access request list, and internal preparation checklist. Known scope: website redesign, homepage, services page, contact page, and CMS setup. We need brand assets, CMS access, domain/DNS access, and existing website analytics. No confirmed deadline yet.
Client onboarding plan: The onboarding should confirm the website redesign scope, collect required materials, schedule kickoff, and prepare the delivery team before design work begins. Client tasks: Provide brand assets, invite the team to the CMS using secure access, grant domain/DNS access through role-based permissions if possible, and share analytics access or reports. Kickoff agenda: Review goals, confirm included pages, identify decision-makers, discuss timeline constraints, confirm content responsibilities, review required access, and agree on next steps. Internal tasks: Create project workspace, review proposal scope, prepare kickoff questions, assign delivery owner, and document open questions. Risk: The deadline is not confirmed, so timeline commitments should not be promised until the kickoff discussion.
