Handing a project to a new Claude? Make it take a 13-part onboarding course

A developer found that long handoff docs failed when moving a Claude (Opus 5.5) project to another machine — the second Claude ignored instructions and repeated obvious mistakes. The fix: make it take a 13-part onboarding course with quizzes. It worked: the new Claude spent an hour building context and learning repo rules, style, and mindset, a viable alternative to re-running two weeks of history.
