# README for Developers

**개발자를 위한 README**는 마케팅 문서가 아니라 **'인계인수서'**입니다.
이 문서 하나만 보고도 신규 개발자가 로컬 서버를 띄우고, 코드 흐름을 머릿속에 그릴 수 있어야 합니다.

## Core Principle

> **"README = 지도, 디테일은 docs/로 링크"**
>
> 정보를 한 파일에 다 넣지 말고, README가 전체 지도를 제공하고 세부는 링크로 내려가게 한다.

## README 품질 체크리스트

README만 읽고 새 개발자가 아래 질문에 답할 수 있으면 합격:

- [ ] 이 시스템의 **목표/비목표**는?
- [ ] 데이터는 어디에 저장되고, **핵심 식별자**는?
- [ ] **핵심 플로우 2~3개**는 어떻게 동작하는가?
- [ ] **엔트리포인트 파일 3개**는 어디인가?
- [ ] 자주 터지는 버그의 **관측 지점**은?
- [ ] **CI는 무엇을 어떤 순서로** 강제하는가?
- [ ] **배포/롤백**은 어떻게 하는가?
- [ ] **로컬 실행 3단계**는?

## Anti-patterns

```
❌ 마케팅 문구만 있음
   "혁신적인 AI 기반 솔루션..."
   → 개발자에게 무의미

❌ 실행 방법 없음
   "설치 후 실행하세요"
   → 복사-붙여넣기 가능해야 함

❌ 구조 설명 없음
   폴더만 나열
   → 각 폴더 역할 설명 필수

❌ 환경변수 설명 없음
   .env.example만 존재
   → 각 변수 의미/예시 필수

❌ 한 파일에 모든 것
   README가 1000줄+
   → docs/로 분리하고 링크
```

## Workflow

### 1. 프로젝트 분석

```bash
# 폴더 구조 확인
find . -maxdepth 2 -type d | grep -v node_modules | grep -v .git

# package.json 확인
cat package.json | head -30

# 환경변수 확인
cat .env.example
```

### 2. README 초안 작성

위 11개 섹션 구조에 맞춰 작성

### 3. 체크리스트 검증

신규 개발자 관점에서 8개 질문에 답할 수 있는지 확인
