🎓 How to Use This Scaffolding

Step 1: Set Up Environment

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your credentials

Step 2: Start Services

docker-compose up -d

Step 3: Initialize Database

alembic revision --autogenerate -m "Initial schema"
alembic upgrade head

Step 4: Start Development

uvicorn src.app.main:app --reload

Step 5: Follow the Build Plan

Open docs/agent/COMPREHENSIVE_BUILD_PLAN.md and start with Phase 1: Foundation (Week 1)

🔍 Finding Your Way Around

Need to implement a feature?

1. Check the build plan for the implementation order
2. Find the TODO file in the appropriate directory
3. Reference the schema (docs/schema/schema.sql) for database structure
4. Check backend features (docs/prod/BACKEND_FEATURES.md) for requirements

Example: Implementing Ticket Creation

1. Model: src/app/models/ticket.py - Define Ticket table
2. Schema: src/app/schemas/ticket.py - Define TicketCreate, TicketResponse
3. Repository: src/app/repositories/ticket_repository.py - Add create_ticket()
4. Service: src/app/services/ticket_service.py - Add business logic
5. API: src/app/api/v1/tickets.py - Add POST /tickets endpoint
6. Test: tests/unit/services/test_ticket_service.py - Write tests

🎯 Next Immediate Steps

Today (Day 1)

1. ✅ Scaffolding complete
2. ⏳ Set up your development environment
3. ⏳ Start Docker services
4. ⏳ Create first database migration

This Week (Week 1)

1. ⏳ Implement User model
2. ⏳ Implement Organization model
3. ⏳ Implement authentication endpoints
4. ⏳ Write first tests

This Month (Weeks 1-4)

1. ⏳ Complete all database models
2. ⏳ Implement all repositories
3. ⏳ Define all Pydantic schemas
4. ⏳ Set up CI/CD pipeline

💡 Pro Tips

1. Start Small: Get one complete workflow working end-to-end before adding complexity
2. Test Early: Write tests as you implement features (TDD approach)
3. Use the Schema: The schema.sql file is your source of truth for database structure
4. Follow Patterns: The base repository and service patterns are your templates
5. Commit Often: Small, focused commits make debugging easier

🆘 Need Help?

Documentation

• Build Plan: docs/agent/COMPREHENSIVE_BUILD_PLAN.md
• Backend Features: docs/prod/BACKEND_FEATURES.md
• Database Schema: docs/schema/schema.sql
• Quick Start: QUICKSTART.md

Common Issues

• Import errors: Make sure virtual environment is activated
• Database errors: Check DATABASE_URL in .env
• Docker issues: Run docker-compose down -v and restart

🎉 Congratulations!

You now have a production-ready project structure with:

• ✅ Clean architecture (API → Service → Repository → Model)
• ✅ Proper separation of concerns
• ✅ Scalable folder structure
• ✅ All necessary configuration files
• ✅ Testing infrastructure
• ✅ Docker support
• ✅ Comprehensive documentation

Everything is in place. Now it's time to build! 🚀
