Developer Notes

Practical, working-level documentation for the team: how-to guides for common tasks and rituals that describe how we run sessions and keep shared context.

Unlike ADRs (which record why a decision was made and are immutable once accepted), developer notes are living documents. Update them freely as our tools and practices evolve.

What goes here

  • How-to's — step-by-step task recipes (e.g. local rebuild, exporting config, adding a custom module, running the docs site).
  • Rituals — the shared team practices that keep everyone's context in sync (session start/end, ADR/spike/deferred flushing, session logs).

Naming convention

Type Pattern Example
How-to howto-short-description.md howto-run-docs-locally.md
Ritual rituals-short-description.md rituals-session-workflow.md

When adding a file, also list it in .pages (new files are invisible in mkdocs until added there) and add a row to the index below.
