A first month with a goal for every week and a name against every task.
A week-by-week onboarding plan for one new hire, built around a real piece of work they own by day thirty.
The usual first week is a laptop, a lot of introductions, and a reading pile. Then the manager gets busy, week two goes quiet, and the new person spends a month guessing what good looks like.
30-Day Onboarding Plan defines what success is at day thirty, gives each week one purpose, and assigns an owner to every setup task. It schedules the early check-ins, hands over a first real deliverable in week three, and ends with a structured review.
What it produces.
- →Two or three observable day-thirty outcomes
- →A four-week table with an owner against each task
- →A first deliverable with a reviewer and a standard
- →A recurring one-to-one and weekly note rhythm
- ✦Managers of small teams onboarding someone without a checklist
- ✦Owners hiring their first employees
- ✦Remote managers who need structure for a new hire they cannot see

Before you buy.
How is this different from just asking Claude directly?
Asked cold, Claude produces a generic thirty-sixty-ninety checklist. This builds the month around your hire's role and your first real piece of work, names who owns each task, and checks that no week is left to chance.
How is this different from a Tool?
Playbooks are systematically produced to a fixed template and priced accordingly ($12.99). Tools are hand-built, one at a time, and go deeper ($39 to $199). A Playbook gives you a reliable method for routine work; a Tool is for when the judgment matters more than the format. This Playbook covers one new hire's first thirty days. It does not include the First 90 Days Plan Tool's stakeholder mapping, early-win selection, or do-not-touch list. First 90 Days Plan is for senior hires and new remits where the relationships and the first decisions matter most.
Will this work with ChatGPT, Gemini, and other LLMs?
Yes. You get a native Claude Skill (.zip) that auto-invokes in Claude, plus a plain .md you can paste into a ChatGPT Custom GPT, a Gemini system prompt, or any LLM. The procedure travels with the file.
Can I share this with my team?
It's licensed for your own personal and professional use. The output it produces is yours to circulate. To put the Playbook itself in the hands of a whole team, email hello@authority.md about team licensing.
What if it doesn't work for me?
If the file hasn't been delivered, or arrives defective or empty, we refund in full: see our refund policy.
