🚀 Start Implementation - Your First Steps

Welcome! You're about to start building StackFastPro.

This document will get you from "I have a spec" to "I'm coding" in 15 minutes.

⏱️ 15-Minute Setup

Step 1: Read the Overview (5 minutes)

Open and read: FINAL_SUMMARY.md

This gives you:

  • What was created
  • How everything fits together
  • What to do next

Step 2: Set Up Tracking (5 minutes)

A. Print Your Quick Reference

# Open this file and print it (or keep it open on second monitor)
QUICK_REFERENCE.md

Keep this visible at all times while coding.

B. Initialize Progress Tracking

# Open this file
PROGRESS.md

Fill in:

  • Start Date: [Today's date]
  • Target Completion: [4 weeks from today]
  • Current Week: 1
  • Current Day: 1

C. Set Today's Goals

# Open this file
QUICK_REFERENCE.md

Fill in:

  • Week: 1
  • Day: 1
  • Date: [Today's date]

Copy Week 1, Day 1 morning tasks from PROGRESS.md to "Today's Goals" section.

Step 3: Set Up Development Environment (5 minutes)

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Start dev server (in one terminal)
npm run dev

# In another terminal, run type checking
npm run type-check

# Verify everything works
# Open http://localhost:5173 in browser

✅ You're Ready!

You should now have:

  • Read the overview
  • Printed/opened QUICK_REFERENCE.md
  • Filled in start date in PROGRESS.md
  • Set Week 1, Day 1 in QUICK_REFERENCE.md
  • Dev server running
  • Type checking running

🎯 Your First Task

Open: PROGRESS.md

Go to: Week 1 → Day 1 → Morning Tasks

Your first task is:

Read and understand all rule types in public/catalog/v1/rules.json

Start there!

📋 Daily Workflow Reminder

Every Morning

  1. Open PROGRESS.md
  2. Find current day
  3. Read morning tasks
  4. Update QUICK_REFERENCE.md with today's goals
  5. Start coding

Every Afternoon

  1. Check off morning tasks in PROGRESS.md
  2. Read afternoon tasks
  3. Continue coding

Every Evening

  1. Run: npm test
  2. Run: npm run type-check
  3. Check off completed tasks in PROGRESS.md
  4. Add daily notes
  5. Commit code
  6. Review next day's tasks

🆘 If You Get Stuck

"I don't know what to do next"

→ Check PROGRESS.md for current day's tasks

"I need code examples"

→ Check IMPLEMENTATION_GAPS.md

"I need to understand something"

→ Check NAVIGATION_GUIDE.md to find the right document

"I need a quick reference"

→ Check QUICK_REFERENCE.md (should be printed/visible)

📞 Essential Commands

# Development
npm run dev              # Start dev server

# Testing
npm test                 # Run all tests
npm run test:watch       # Run tests in watch mode
npm run test:coverage    # Run tests with coverage

# Quality

🎯 Week 1 Goal

By end of this week, you should have:

✅ Rules engine that evaluates all 6 rule types
✅ Score calculator that produces correct scores
✅ Worker communication that works reliably
✅ State management that tracks selections
✅ Basic UI that displays and updates

Success Metric: User can select tools and see a real-time compatibility score.

💡 Tips for Success

  1. Follow the plan - Don't skip ahead or deviate
  2. Test as you go - Don't wait until the end
  3. Update PROGRESS.md daily - Track your progress
  4. Use QUICK_REFERENCE.md - Keep it visible
  5. Commit frequently - Small, focused commits
  6. Take breaks - This is a marathon, not a sprint

🎉 Ready to Code!

  • ✅ Complete spec with 14 requirements
  • ✅ Detailed architecture and design
  • ✅ Day-by-day implementation guide (20 days)
  • ✅ Progress tracking system
  • ✅ Quick reference card
  • ✅ Code examples and patterns
  • ✅ Development environment running

Everything is ready. Time to build! 🚀
