SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Backend development often lacks consistent pre-implementation guidance, leading to misaligned tasks and skipped standards.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces a mandatory pre-implementation read-through of backend guidelines before coding.
  • Directs you to relevant documentation files such as .trellis/spec/backend/index.md, database-guidelines.md, error-handling.md, logging-guidelines.md, and type-safety.md to ensure correct practices.
  • Use Case: A developer starts a new backend feature after consulting the guidelines to ensure architecture and quality standards are followed.

Quick Start

Open the guidelines in .trellis/spec/backend/index.md and the relevant files (database-guidelines.md, error-handling.md, logging-guidelines.md, type-safety.md) and create a plan before writing backend code.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce backend coding standards before starting implementation?

To enforce backend coding standards before implementation, you must read the specific guideline files for database work, error handling, logging, and type safety. This ensures your new feature aligns with architecture and quality requirements prior to writing any backend code.

What backend guidelines should I review before writing database and error handling code?

Before writing database and error handling code, review the backend guidelines located in the .trellis/spec/backend/ directory, specifically database-guidelines.md and error-handling.md. These files outline the mandatory practices for compliant backend development.

Why do I need to read documentation before coding a new backend feature?

Reading documentation before coding a new backend feature prevents misaligned tasks and skipped standards caused by inconsistent pre-implementation guidance. It satisfies planning requirements and ensures architecture and quality standards are followed.

How do I create a pre-implementation plan for backend development?

To create a pre-implementation plan for backend development, open the index.md file in the .trellis/spec/backend/ directory along with the relevant logging and type safety guidelines. Formulate your task plan from these documents before writing any backend code.

Does this pre-implementation check apply to logging and type safety tasks?

Yes, this pre-implementation check applies specifically to logging and type safety tasks, alongside database work and error handling. It ensures you satisfy documentation review and planning requirements prior to starting compliant backend coding.
