3-Step Developer Onboarding Guide
3-Steps for Developer Success
Step 0: Install the AI Developer Suite
If you’re using AI-assisted coding, benefit from AI acceleration without the risks without changing anything you do already. The MCP instantly transforms tools like GitHub Copilot and Claude from simple code generators into an engineering partner that understands and protects code quality.
Important: Make sure to copy the AGENTS-full.md guidance into your repository. If this step is missed, the MCP server will be installed but your AI-tooling will not call it.
Step 1: Install CodeScene’s IDE Extension
Get real-time IDE feedback and a Code Health Monitor feature that flags code health issues early, ensuring clean commits every time.
Important: Make sure to copy the agent guidance that matches your license into your repository for: AGENTS-full.md
Step 2: Enrol in CodeScene Academy CodeScene Academy
Lead the future of software excellence by mastering technical debt, CodeHealth™, and AI-driven development for guardrailing and elevating codebases that aren't yet AI-ready. All while earning globally recognised certifications.
Step 3: Watch Adam Tornhill’s Presentation
“Writing Code for the Human Brain: Optimize Code for Cognitive Bottlenecks.” Adam looks at code from the perspective of the human brain starting from common problem constructs like null references, edge cases, and complex conditional logic, to unpack their cognitive costs and consequences.
