Overview

Developer Onboarding Documentation provides new team members with everything they need to become productive quickly. Good onboarding reduces time-to-first-commit from weeks to days.

Core Principle: "New developers should commit code on day 1, deploy to staging by day 3, and feel confident by week 2."

Core Concepts & Rules

1. Core Principles

• Follow established patterns and conventions
• Maintain consistency across codebase
• Document decisions and trade-offs

2. Implementation Guidelines

• Start with the simplest viable solution
• Iterate based on feedback and requirements
• Test thoroughly before deployment

Inputs / Outputs / Contracts

• Inputs:
  • <e.g., env vars, request payload, file paths, schema>
• Entry Conditions:
  • <Pre-requisites: e.g., Repo initialized, DB running, specific branch checked out>
• Outputs:
  • <e.g., artifacts (PR diff, docs, tests, dashboard JSON)>
• Artifacts Required (Deliverables):
  • <e.g., Code Diff, Unit Tests, Migration Script, API Docs>
• Acceptance Evidence:
  • <e.g., Test Report (screenshot/log), Benchmark Result, Security Scan Report>
• Success Criteria:
  • <e.g., p95 < 300ms, coverage ≥ 80%>

Quick Start

```bash git clone https://github.com/company/project.git cd project npm run setup npm run dev ``` Visit http://localhost:3000

Assumptions

• New developer has basic programming skills
• Company accounts are provisioned
• Hardware is provided
• Team has established practices

Compatibility

• Works with any tech stack
• Language-agnostic principles
• Can be adapted to any team size

Test Scenario Matrix

Technical Guardrails & Security Threat Model

1. Security & Privacy (Threat Model)

• Top Threats: Injection attacks, authentication bypass, data exposure

• Data Handling: Sanitize all user inputs to prevent Injection attacks. Never log raw PII
• Secrets Management: No hardcoded API keys. Use Env Vars/Secrets Manager
• Authorization: Validate user permissions before state changes

2. Performance & Resources

• Execution Efficiency: Consider time complexity for algorithms
• Memory Management: Use streams/pagination for large data
• Resource Cleanup: Close DB connections/file handlers in finally blocks

3. Architecture & Scalability

• Design Pattern: Follow SOLID principles, use Dependency Injection
• Modularity: Decouple logic from UI/Frameworks

4. Observability & Reliability

• Logging Standards: Structured JSON, include trace IDs request_id
• Metrics: Track error_rate, latency, queue_depth
• Error Handling: Standardized error codes, no bare except
• Observability Artifacts:
  • Log Fields: timestamp, level, message, request_id
  • Metrics: request_count, error_count, response_time
  • Dashboards/Alerts: High Error Rate > 5%

Agent Directives & Error Recovery

(ข้อกำหนดสำหรับ AI Agent ในการคิดและแก้ปัญหาเมื่อเกิดข้อผิดพลาด)

• Thinking Process: Analyze root cause before fixing. Do not brute-force.
• Fallback Strategy: Stop after 3 failed test attempts. Output root cause and ask for human intervention/clarification.
• Self-Review: Check against Guardrails & Anti-patterns before finalizing.
• Output Constraints: Output ONLY the modified code block. Do not explain unless asked.

Definition of Done

• README with quick start guide
• Architecture documentation with diagram
• Development workflow guide
• Troubleshooting guide
• Team practices documented
• Learning resources listed
• First week tasks defined
• Onboarding buddy guide
• Documentation checklist complete

Anti-patterns / Pitfalls

• ⛔ Don't: Log PII, catch-all exception, N+1 queries
• ⚠️ Watch out for: Common symptoms and quick fixes
• 💡 Instead: Use proper error handling, pagination, and logging
