# Example: new teammate agent onboarding

> A new teammate's first agent session inherits the team's current context with scopes intact.

Ambience loads project conventions, active decisions, known failure modes, and relevant skills that the teammate is allowed to see.

## Why Ambience

- Onboarding context is selected, not dumped.
- Sensitive memories remain gated.
- New agents can act with the team's existing operating model.
