What this section is​

Your front door to the engineering team. If you just joined, this is where you get set up, learn who owns what, and pick up the words everyone around you is already using.

It's a small section by design — read it once when you join, then come back when you need to look something up.

Where to start​

Three short reads, in order:

  1. Getting Set Up — orient to the system, get your access, and run a piece of it locally. (coming next)
  2. Key Terms — the Skapp and handbook vocabulary you'll hear from day one. (coming next)

What's NOT here​

  • How to read and write docs — that's How Our Docs Work, now at the bottom of the sidebar.
  • The product, the system, and how we run it — those live in the other sections. New to navigating the handbook? Our Reading Guide shows you how to find anything.
