Technical Orientation Guides
Public RepositoryMerge42 creates short technical orientation guides that help teams understand a system before they work inside it. Each guide captures the mental model, key boundaries, vocabulary and working conventions needed to contribute with confidence.
This public index contains examples for public technologies. The same format is used for internal systems, inherited platforms, architecture handovers and team ways of working.

How these are used
Use these guides when joining a project, reviewing unfamiliar code, changing ownership or aligning a team around a shared technical approach. They are designed to be read once for orientation, then revisited when decisions need context.
