Quick Start Checklist
Setup Checklist
Phase 1: Foundation (Day 1)
- Analyze historical errors (last 20-50 CI failures)
- Calculate baseline V_instance
- Create
scripts/directory - Implement
check-temp-files.sh - Implement
check-deps.sh - Add basic Makefile targets
- Test P0 checks (<10 seconds)
Phase 2: Enhancement (Day 2)
- Add language-specific checks
- Implement
check-scripts.sh - Add debug statement detection
- Create comprehensive workflow targets
- Integrate with CI/CD pipeline
- Test end-to-end functionality
- Document team workflow
Phase 3: Optimization (Day 3)
- Add advanced quality checks
- Optimize performance (target <60 seconds)
- Set up metrics collection
- Train team on new workflow
- Monitor initial results
- Plan continuous improvement
Validation Checklist
Before Rollout:
- V_instance ≥ 0.85
- V_meta ≥ 0.80
- Error coverage ≥ 80%
- Detection time ≤ 60 seconds
- All historical errors detected
- CI/CD integration working
- Team documentation complete
After Rollout (1 week):
- Monitor CI failure rate (target: <10%)
- Collect team feedback
- Measure developer satisfaction
- Track performance metrics
- Address any issues found
Continuous Improvement (monthly):
- Review quality metrics
- Update error patterns
- Optimize performance
- Expand coverage as needed
- Maintain tool chain compatibility
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
1. Quality gates too slow:
- Check for redundant checks
- Implement parallel execution
- Use caching for expensive operations
- Consider incremental checks
2. Too many false positives:
- Review exception patterns
- Add project-specific exclusions
- Fine-tune check sensitivity
- Gather specific examples of false positives
3. Team resistance:
- Start with warnings, not errors
- Provide clear fix instructions
- Demonstrate time savings
- Make tools easy to install
4. Tool version conflicts:
- Use Docker for consistent environments
- Pin tool versions in configuration
- Use version managers (asdf, nvm)
- Document exact versions required
Getting Help
