New hire ships five projects in three weeks by syncing team context with /hq-sync

Cherie Ueno shares her first three weeks at AI workspace company HQ: on day one, running /hq-sync pulled in thousands of files and existing team context, so she didn't start from zero.
In three weeks she shipped a customer impact survey, an onboarding training series, the HQ World community, product marketing announcements, and sales enablement decks — plus the agents and skills to make each repeatable.
The post contrasts this with normal onboarding pain (knowing no one, no product history, not knowing what to search for) and details how an enablement deck that normally takes her a week accelerated once context was inherited — a concrete look at AI-native onboarding workflows.
