Domain 7: Developer Productivity & Operational Enablement

Cheat sheet for Developer Productivity: team Claude config, AI workflows, debug/ops.

Configure Claude for teams (7.1)

Project-scoped shared rules, skills, and MCP beat personal-only setup. Secrets stay out of VCS and shell history. Publish a bootstrap new teammates can run.

Repo is the source of team standards
Env/vault for credentials — rotate on exposure
Named owners for shared surfaces
Personal config ≠ team standard

AI-assisted workflows (7.2)

Target repetitive high-friction steps (review drafts, docs, triage assist)
Keep human ownership of merge and release gates
Measure time saved and error rates
Vanity adoption alone is not success
Automation that removes necessary review fails

Debugging & ops (7.3)

Reproduce with logs/traces and minimal fixtures
Separate product vs prompt/tool/MCP bugs
Capture fixes as reusable runbooks
Guessing without traces is the distractor
