A new contributor (or returning lead) opening the repo gets:
- the final repo layout, with one-line annotations per top-level dir
- the prerequisite tooling list (Node 24 LTS, pnpm 10, mkcert,
optional local Trivy/gitleaks, Docker for Postgres)
- the fresh-clone setup steps (clone, pnpm install, prisma generate,
sanity check)
- the daily commands organised by intent: serve, test (incl. single
file), lint, build, generate (apps / libs / components), Prisma,
the four ci:* scripts that mirror the CI gates
- the conventional commit cycle end-to-end (branch naming, hook
enforcement, PR gates, squash-merge, release tagging)
- a 'where to look' table cross-linking the project rules
(CLAUDE.md), the ADRs, the setup guides, and the personal notes
- an explicit 'to be added' section listing what the doc will grow
into (local infra Docker Compose, auth dev-loop, component
patterns, debugging tips, release workflow, Renovate policy)
The doc is intentionally non-exhaustive at v1 - it captures what a
contributor needs today and is structured to grow as the workflow
sharpens. Indexed in docs/README.md under a new 'Daily development'
section, separate from the one-off onboarding guides under
docs/setup/.
