/onboarding
One-time auction house profile setup — role, target DMAs, fee structure, and vehicle segments so skills stop asking
Purpose
Every skill in the Auction House plugin uses context from your profile: which states you operate in, your buyer and seller fee percentages, your sell-through target, your role (lane manager vs consignment rep vs regional director), and which vehicle segments you focus on. Without this context, calculations like revenue forecasts and consignment pitch economics have no baseline to work from.
/onboarding collects your full auction house identity once: company, role, auction type (physical/digital/hybrid), target DMAs, vehicle segments, buyer focus (franchise/independent), consigner types, fee structure, and sell-through target. Everything persists to marketcheck-profile.md and is read automatically by every skill and command from that point forward.
Arguments
How It Works
Execution flow. MCP tool calls are shown inline on each step.
Reads marketcheck-profile.md if exists. Shows summary and asks update or keep.
Collects name, company, and role: sales_exec / lane_manager / consignment_rep / regional_director.
Collects auction type: physical / digital / both (hybrid).
Collects ZIP, state, and target DMAs (states, metro areas, or 'national').
Collects vehicle segments and buyer/consigner focus to calibrate lane planning and targeting.
Collects buyer fee %, seller fee %, avg weekly lanes, and target sell-through % as defaults for all revenue calculations.
Writes full profile JSON to marketcheck-profile.md. Syncs to MEMORY.md.

Limitations
- Profile is stored in current project memory — re-run in each new project.
- UK users: ML pricing, sold analytics, VIN history are US-only; profile flags this and skills adapt accordingly.
