+# New Member Onboarding
+
+Use this guide when someone new needs to understand this workspace and the Fidelity project context quickly.
+
+This repository is not the product codebase. It is the AI workspace used to preserve context, navigate project memory, and draft precise communication.
+
+---
+
+## First 30 Minutes
+
+Read these in order:
+
+1. [Obsidian Vault Map](obsidian-vault.md)
+2. [Current Work Map](maps/current-work.md)
+3. [Fidelity Domain Map](maps/fidelity-domain.md)
+4. [Work Items Map](maps/work-items.md)
+5. [People Map](maps/people.md)
+
+Goal:
+
+- understand where current work lives
+- identify active tickets
+- understand the main systems and people
+- avoid treating raw logs or inbox evidence as confirmed durable truth
+
+---
+
+## First 60 Minutes
+
+Read:
+
+1. [Project Context](../ai/context/project.md)
+2. [XFlowSDK](../ai/context/systems/xflowsdk.md)
+3. [Fid4](../ai/context/systems/fid4.md)
+4. [REST Migration](../ai/context/workstreams/rest-migration.md)
+5. [AO And Discourse](../ai/context/workstreams/ao-discourse.md)
+6. [Communication Rules](communication-rules.md)
+
+Goal:
+
+- understand why auth state, entry point, and backend configuration matter
+- distinguish external reports from regressions
+- understand why communication precision is part of the engineering workflow
+
+---
+
+## First 120 Minutes
+
+Read:
+
+1. [Operational Memory](../core/memory/operational-memory.md)
+2. [Workspace Model](workspace-model.md)
+3. [Agent Memory Rules](agent-memory-rules.md)
+4. [Context Maintenance](../ai/context/process/context-maintenance.md)
+5. [Tooling Map](maps/tooling.md)
+
+Goal:
+
+- understand how the AI workspace stays current
+- know where to add new facts
+- know when to update logs, state, work items, stable context, people, decisions, or tooling behavior
+
+---
+
+## Daily Workflow
+
+1. Start from [Current Work Map](maps/current-work.md).
+2. Check [Current Work](../ai/state/current.md).
+3. Open the active work item from [Work Items Map](maps/work-items.md).
+4. Review the latest relevant log from [Logs Index](../ai/logs/index.md).
+5. Use [Communication Rules](communication-rules.md) before writing standups, Jira comments, or manager updates.
+

+
+## Rules Of Thumb
+
+- `ai/logs/` is evidence from a day.
+- `ai/state/` is what matters now.
+- `ai/work-items/` is canonical ticket memory.
+- `ai/context/` is durable project knowledge.
+- `ai/context/people/` is collaborator and role memory.
+- `core/` is reusable workspace logic.
+- `profiles/fidelity/` is Fidelity-specific configuration.
+- `ai/inbox/` and generated files are evidence, not promoted memory.
