- ## 1. The Documentation Hierarchy
19
-
20
- ```
21
- Level 1Why (ADRs): Why was this architectural decision made?
22
- Level 2 — How (README): How do I set this up and use it?
23
- Level 3 — What (JSDoc): What does this function do, accept, and return?
24
- Level 4 — Detail (inline): What is non-obvious about this specific line?
25
- ```
26
-
27

28
-
29
- ## 2. JSDoc API Documentation
30
-
31
- Every exported function must be documented. Private helpers: document only if non-obvious.
32
-
33
- ```typescript
34
- /**
35
- * Calculates the discounted price for an order.
36
- *
37
- * Applies a 10% discount to orders over $100. The discount boundary
38
- * is exclusive a $100 order receives no discount.
39
- *
40
- * @param orderTotal - The pre-discount total in USD cents (not dollars)
41
- * @returns The final price after discount in USD cents
42
- * @throws {RangeError} If orderTotal is negative
43
- *
44
- * @example
45
- * ```typescript
46
- * calculateDiscount(15000) // $150.00 → returns 13500 ($135.00)
47
- * calculateDiscount(10000) // $100.00 → returns 10000 (no discount)
48
- * calculateDiscount(-100) // throws RangeError
49
- * ```
50
- */
51
- export function calculateDiscount(orderTotal: number): number {
52
- if (orderTotal < 0) throw new RangeError(`orderTotal cannot be negative: ${orderTotal}`);
53
- return orderTotal > 10000 ? Math.floor(orderTotal * 0.9) : orderTotal;
54
- }
55
-
56
- /**
57
- * Retrieves a user by their ID with their published posts.
58
- * Returns null if the user does not exist or has been soft-deleted.
59
- *
60
- * @param userId - CUID2 user identifier
61
- * @param options - Query options
62
- * @param options.includePosts - Whether to include published posts (default: false)
63
- */
64
- export async function getUser(
65
- userId: string,
66
- options: { includePosts?: boolean } = {}
67
- ): Promise<User | null> { ... }
68
- ```

71
-
72
- ## 3. Inline Comments What to Comment and What Not To
73
-
74
- ```typescript
75
- // ❌ USELESS: Restates what the code obviously does
76
- const total = price + tax; // Add price and tax to get total
77
-
78
- // USELESS: Variable name already explains it
79
- const userId = session.user.id; // Get the user ID
80
-
81
- // VALUABLE: Explains why a non-obvious decision was made
82
- // Using bcrypt cost factor 12: 11 is 350ms, 13 is 1400ms at current hardware.
83
- // 12 balances security and server response time.
84
- const BCRYPT_ROUNDS = 12;
85
-
86
- // VALUABLE: Documents a known workaround
87
- // Prisma client requires singleton pattern in development to avoid
88
- // connection pool exhaustion during hot-reload. See: prisma.io/docs/guides/nextjs
89
- const globalForPrisma = global as unknown as { prisma: PrismaClient };

- # ADR-003: Use Prisma Instead of Drizzle
146
-
147
- **Status:** Accepted
148
- **Date:** 2026-03-15
149
- **Deciders:** Engineering Team
150
-
151
- ## Context
152
- We need an ORM for PostgreSQL. Two viable options: Prisma 6 and Drizzle ORM.
153
-
154
- ## Decision
155
- We chose **Prisma 6**.
156
-
157
- ## Rationale
158
- - Team has existing Prisma experience shorter ramp-up
159
- - Prisma Studio provides visual DB browser for non-engineers
160
- - Prisma's migration system handles complex schema evolution cases
161
- - Drizzle offers better raw query performance but our query patterns don't require it
162
-
163
- ## Tradeoffs Accepted
164
- - Prisma is slower for raw high-frequency writes (< Drizzle by ~20%)
165
- - Prisma generates heavier client bundle (not an issue server-only)
166
-
167
- ## Consequences
168
- All DB access uses Prisma. If we exceed 50k writes/minute, re-evaluate.

- ### Pre-Delivery Checklist
209
-
210
- ```
211
- ✅ Every exported function has JSDoc with @param, @returns, and @example
212
- ✅ Parameters document their units (cents not dollars, ms not seconds)
213
- ✅ Inline comments explain WHY — not WHAT (what = code itself)
214
- ✅ README has Quick Start runnable in under 5 minutes
215
- ✅ All environment variables documented in README table
216
- ✅ Breaking changes documented in CHANGELOG.md
217
- ✅ ADR created for any significant architectural decision made
218
- ✅ No "TODO: document this later" left in delivered code
219
- ✅ OpenAPI spec matches actual implementation (not aspirational schema)
220
- ✅ Code examples in JSDoc are tested and actually work
221
- ```

+ ## 1. The Documentation Hierarchy
16
+
17
+ ```
18
+ Level 1 Why (ADRs): Why was this architectural decision made?
19
+ Level 2 — How (README): How do I set this up and use it?
20
+ Level 3 — What (JSDoc): What does this function do, accept, and return?
21
+ Level 4Detail (inline): What is non-obvious about this specific line?
22
+ ```
23
+
24
+ ---
25
+
26
+ ## 2. JSDoc API Documentation
27
+
28
+ Every exported function must be documented. Private helpers: document only if non-obvious.
29
+
30
+ ```typescript
31
+ /**
32
+ * Calculates the discounted price for an order.
33
+ *
34
+ * Applies a 10% discount to orders over $100. The discount boundary
35
+ * is exclusive a $100 order receives no discount.
36
+ *
37
+ * @param orderTotal - The pre-discount total in USD cents (not dollars)
38
+ * @returns The final price after discount in USD cents
39
+ * @throws {RangeError} If orderTotal is negative
40
+ *
41
+ * @example
42
+ * ```typescript
43
+ * calculateDiscount(15000) // $150.00 → returns 13500 ($135.00)
44
+ * calculateDiscount(10000) // $100.00 → returns 10000 (no discount)
45
+ * calculateDiscount(-100) // throws RangeError
46
+ * ```
47
+ */
48
+ export function calculateDiscount(orderTotal: number): number {
49
+ if (orderTotal < 0) throw new RangeError(`orderTotal cannot be negative: ${orderTotal}`);
50
+ return orderTotal > 10000 ? Math.floor(orderTotal * 0.9) : orderTotal;
51
+ }
52
+
53
+ /**
54
+ * Retrieves a user by their ID with their published posts.
55
+ * Returns null if the user does not exist or has been soft-deleted.
56
+ *
57
+ * @param userId - CUID2 user identifier
58
+ * @param options - Query options
59
+ * @param options.includePosts - Whether to include published posts (default: false)
60
+ */
61
+ export async function getUser(
62
+ userId: string,
63
+ options: { includePosts?: boolean } = {}
64
+ ): Promise<User | null> { ... }
65
+ ```
66
+
67
+ ---
68
+
69
+ ## 3. Inline Comments — What to Comment and What Not To
70
+
71
+ ```typescript
72
+ // USELESS: Restates what the code obviously does
73
+ const total = price + tax; // Add price and tax to get total
74
+
75
+ // ❌ USELESS: Variable name already explains it
76
+ const userId = session.user.id; // Get the user ID
77
+
78
+ // VALUABLE: Explains why a non-obvious decision was made
79
+ // Using bcrypt cost factor 12: 11 is 350ms, 13 is 1400ms at current hardware.
80
+ // 12 balances security and server response time.
81
+ const BCRYPT_ROUNDS = 12;
82
+
83
+ // VALUABLE: Documents a known workaround
84
+ // Prisma client requires singleton pattern in development to avoid
85
+ // connection pool exhaustion during hot-reload. See: prisma.io/docs/guides/nextjs
86
+ const globalForPrisma = global as unknown as { prisma: PrismaClient };
