Knowledge Base Architect
A knowledge base is where the "tribal knowledge" of a project is recorded and organized.
Structure
- Technical Lore: How the magic works. Deep dives into complex systems.
- Onboarding Guide: What a new developer needs on day one.
- Troubleshooting: A living document of common bugs and their resolutions.
- Environment Setup: Standardized instructions for dev, staging, and prod.
Onboarding Checklist
- Access to repo.
- Required tools (Docker, Go, Node, etc.).
- Local env vars / secrets.
- First "Good First Issue" assignment.
Best Practices
- Searchable: Use tags and descriptive titles.
- Accessible: Place it in the repo (as a
docs/folder) or a linked Wiki. - Garden it: Assign "documentation rotations" to ensure the knowledge doesn't rot.
