File: docs/deliverables/implementation-handoff.md
Purpose: Single source of truth for developers and coding agents starting implementation.
Contents:
- Documentation completeness status (100% matrix)
- Implementation priority matrix (6 phases)
- Developer quick start guides (backend, frontend, ML)
- Known gaps and open questions
- Success metrics
- Final checklist before starting
Value: This document transforms the repo from "research complete" to "implementation ready" by providing clear next steps and priorities.
File: docs/architecture/system-architecture.md
Status: Already significantly enhanced (compared to initial brief version)
Current Contents:
- Detailed Mermaid component diagrams
- Data flow sequences (onboarding, matching, messaging)
- Non-functional requirements (scalability, performance, security)
- Implementation notes for coding agents
- Monitoring and observability guidance
Assessment: No further changes needed; document is comprehensive.
-
Clear System Architecture
- Component diagrams with responsibilities clearly defined
- Data flows documented with sequence diagrams
- NFRs specified (latency targets, scalability, security)
-
Detailed API Specifications
- All endpoints documented with request/response contracts
- Authentication flows explained
- Error handling guidelines provided
-
Complete Database Schema
- Full ERD with all tables and relationships
- RLS policies documented
- Indexes and constraints specified
-
Implementation Guidance
- "Implementation Notes for Coding Agents" sections in key docs
- Acceptance criteria for all major features
- Code structure examples provided
-
Prioritized Roadmap
- 6-phase implementation plan with clear dependencies
- Each phase has specific tasks and docs to reference
- Success metrics defined for each phase
-
Developer Experience
- Comprehensive CONTRIBUTING.md with setup instructions
- Multiple entrypoints (backend, frontend, ML quick starts)
- Links to all relevant docs from README
Recommendation: Create datasets/sample-data/ folder with:
- Sample user profiles (JSON)
- Sample skills taxonomy (CSV)
- Sample matches with scores (JSON)
Value: Helps developers test features without waiting for real data.
Priority: Low (can be added during implementation)
Recommendation: Create docs/architecture/decisions/ folder with:
- ADR-001: Why Supabase over self-hosted Postgres
- ADR-002: Why FastAPI over Flask for ML service
- ADR-003: Why FAISS over Pinecone initially
Value: Documents key architectural decisions for future reference.
Priority: Low (nice to have, not blocking)
Recommendation: Create postman_collection.json with:
- All API endpoints from
api-specification.md - Sample requests and expected responses
- Environment variables template
Value: Helps backend developers test APIs quickly.
Priority: Medium (helpful but not blocking)
(Copied from implementation-handoff.md for visibility)
-
Vector Store: FAISS (self-hosted) or Pinecone (cloud)?
- Recommendation: Start with FAISS for MVP, migrate to Pinecone at scale
-
LLM Provider: OpenAI GPT-4 or Anthropic Claude?
- Recommendation: OpenAI GPT-4 Turbo for MVP (lower latency, better API docs)
-
Deployment Platform: Railway, Fly.io, or AWS ECS?
- Recommendation: Railway for MVP (easiest setup), AWS ECS for production scale
-
Email Service: Which provider?
- Recommendation: SendGrid or Resend (both have generous free tiers)
-
Analytics: Which tool?
- Recommendation: PostHog (open-source friendly, self-hostable)
