Choose a real open-source repository or your own project and write a technical onboarding document for a new engineer joining the project. Cover: what the system does (one-paragraph business context), how to set up the development environment from scratch (tested commands), repository structure (what each directory is for), how to run the tests and what the test suite covers, and how to deploy to staging. Every command must actually work — test them on a clean machine or container.
Proof required
Onboarding document (600+ words) covering business context, verified setup instructions, repository structure explanation, test suite documentation, and deployment steps — plus a note confirming the setup instructions were tested on a clean environment.
What gets checked
- Every shell command was executed on a clean environment and produced the expected output — no assumed steps
- Repository structure section explains purpose (why each directory exists), not just lists names
- Testing section explains what the test suite covers and what it does not
