🚀 START HERE — Morning Command Center

Your repository is fully set up and ready to build. This is your entry point.

What You Have (5 minutes to understand)

📚 Complete Documentation Package

✅ Specifications — Define what you're building
✅ Architecture — Show how it works
✅ Sprint Plan — Guide your 90 minutes
✅ Setup Guide — Get your environment ready
✅ Code Standards — How to collaborate

🎯 Key Insight: Mock Data First

You're NOT integrating with real Jira/Outlook APIs during the sprint.
Instead: Use realistic mock data so you can build 10x faster.

Real API integration happens after the sprint.

Get Started (Next 10 minutes)

1. Read These Files (In Order)

  1. QUICK_REF.md — 2 min, one-page overview
  2. GETTING_STARTED.md — 5 min, your role-specific tasks
  3. PROJECT_PLAN.md — 3 min, sprint timeline

2. Set Up Your Environment

# Copy environment template
cp .env.example .env.local

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Create database
createdb morning_command_center_dev

# Start dev server
npm run dev
# Open http://localhost:3000

Detailed setup: See SETUP.md

Timeline (90 Minutes)

⏱️  0-15 min   →  Spec review & architecture alignment
⏱️  15-45 min  →  Data model & API contracts
⏱️  45-75 min  →  Mock services & React components
⏱️  75-90 min  →  Integration & demo prep

Full breakdown: See PROJECT_PLAN.md

Success Looks Like (End of 90 min)

✅ OvernightSummaryCard displays real mock data
✅ Executive Dashboard shows 4+ KPI cards
✅ Light mode + Dark mode both working
✅ Responsive design (mobile, tablet, desktop)
✅ Zero TypeScript errors, zero console errors
✅ Mock services integrated with APIs
✅ Team understands full data flow
✅ 2-minute demo ready

See PROJECT_PLAN.md#success-criteria for details.

Key Architectural Decisions (Already Made)

Decision Rationale
React + TypeScript Type safety, component reuse
Tailwind CSS Enterprise styling, consistent theme
PostgreSQL Reliable, extensible with JSONB
Mock Services Fast sprint, real API post-sprint
OAuth 2.0 (post-sprint) Industry standard for Jira/Outlook

See CLAUDE.md for code standards.

Common Questions

Q: Do we really not need real API credentials?
A: Correct. Mock data only during sprint. Real APIs post-sprint.

Q: What if we have a question about the spec?
A: Check the relevant file (specs/FEATURES.md, specs/API.md, etc.)
If still unclear: Ask the team, Product Manager decides immediately.

Q: How do we know when we're done?
A: See PROJECT_PLAN.md#success-criteria

Q: What if we finish early?
A: See PROJECT_PLAN.md#stretch-goals

Q: Can we change the spec?
A: Not during sprint. Document learnings, adjust post-sprint.

Quick Commands

# Setup
npm install
npm run db:migrate
npm run dev         # Start on http://localhost:3000

# Check code quality
npm run type-check  # TypeScript errors
npm run lint        # ESLint issues
npm test            # Run tests

# Database
psql morning_command_center_dev  # Connect to DB

See SETUP.md — Useful Commands for more.

Team Roles (Who Owns What)

Role Checklist Start Here
PM [ ] Review specs [ ] Define algorithm GETTING_STARTED.md#product-manager
EA [ ] Design DB [ ] Create types GETTING_STARTED.md#enterprise-architect
FSE [ ] Mock services [ ] API routes GETTING_STARTED.md#full-stack-engineer
UX [ ] Build components [ ] Theme system GETTING_STARTED.md#ux-architect

Blockers? Here's How to Unblock Fast

  1. Check the spec first — Most answers are documented
  2. Ask the team — No waiting for async responses
  3. Escalate immediately — Role owner decides in < 2 minutes
  4. Move on — Never block the sprint

See PROJECT_PLAN.md#comm--escalation.
