Project & Contribution Detail Plan 🚀

This plan outlines the detailed tasks, criteria for completion, and the **contribution credit** allocated to the team upon successful delivery of each item. **Transparency is key:** Review the detailed subtasks for each phase to ensure the workload distribution is fair and clearly defined. All tasks are contingent on signing the **Contributor License Agreement (CLA)**.

Phase I: IP & Infrastructure Setup (25% Weight)

1. GitHub Infrastructure Setup

Credit: 10.0% (Founder)

**Expected Task Load & Deliverables:**

  • **Repository Creation & Access:** Create the core organization and private repository; assign initial access roles and set up teams.
  • **Security Mandates:** Implement and enforce **Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)** for all organizational members and outside collaborators.
  • **Code Protection:** Configure **Branch Protection Rules** for `main` (require reviews, prevent force pushes).
  • **Automated Scanning:** Enable and configure GitHub Advanced Security features: **Secret Scanning** (for push protection) and **Dependabot** (for vulnerability alerting).
  • **Documentation Stubs:** Commit template files for `README.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `SECURITY.md`, and `CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md`.

**Definition of Done (DoD):** Security Audit log confirms 2FA enforcement and Secret Scanning is active. All security and contribution guideline stubs are committed to `main` and approved by partners.

2. Legal/Agreement Setup

Credit: 5.0% (Founder)

**Expected Task Load & Deliverables:**

  • **NDA Finalization:** Present, review, and secure signatures for the **Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)** from all partners to protect project confidentiality.
  • **IP Assignment:** Present, review, and secure signatures for the **Contributor License Agreement (CLA)** to legally assign all partner contributions (code, documentation) to the project owner/company.
  • **Compensation Structure:** Draft the final compensation schedule based on this plan for inclusion in the partnership contract.
  • **Smart Contract Parameters:** Define the **if-then logic** (oracle triggers, payout wallet addresses, token amounts) for the contribution smart contract.

**Definition of Done (DoD):** Fully signed NDA and CLA documents are secured for all named contributors. Smart contract parameters document is finalized.

3. Initial Tech Review

Credit: 10.0% (Technical Assistant)

**Expected Task Load & Deliverables:**

  • **Stack Selection:** Research and propose the optimal technology stack (e.g., specific backend framework, database, blockchain layer/EVM compatibility).
  • **Architectural Blueprint:** Create a high-level **system architecture diagram** showing data flow, hosting environment (e.g., AWS/Azure/GCP), and external service integrations.
  • **Repository Standardization:** Implement initial linter/formatter configurations (e.g., ESLint, Prettier) and define commit message standards.
  • **Dev Environment Setup:** Create and test a standard local development setup configuration (e.g., using Docker or a clear `setup.sh` script).

**Definition of Done (DoD):** A comprehensive architecture document is approved by the Founder. The development environment setup script runs successfully on a test machine, and code standardization tools are configured in the repo.

Phase II: Core Product Development (40% Weight)

4. Backend Setup (API, Database, Logic)

Credit: 15.0% (Tech Assistant) + 5.0% (Founder)

**Expected Task Load & Deliverables:**

  • **Database Implementation:** Set up and initialize the chosen database (SQL/NoSQL) and implement the core schema (users, stories, assets).
  • **Core API Development:** Build essential **CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete)** API endpoints required for the MVP to manage story states and user data.
  • **Blockchain Integration (If applicable):** Implement the initial smart contract logic for asset creation (minting) and transfer, and integrate the backend service with the chosen blockchain node.
  • **Authentication:** Implement secure user authentication and authorization logic (e.g., OAuth, token-based).
  • **Unit Testing:** Write and pass **unit tests** for all critical backend functions to achieve at least $70\%$ code coverage.

**Definition of Done (DoD):** All core API endpoints are functional, documented (e.g., Swagger/OpenAPI), and pass unit tests. The founder can successfully register and retrieve basic data. (Total 20.0%)

5. Story Animation / Front-End

Credit: 10.0% (Tech Assistant) + 5.0% (Founder)

**Expected Task Load & Deliverables:**

  • **UI Framework Setup:** Select and configure the front-end framework (e.g., React, Vue, Svelte).
  • **Core Component Library:** Build a small, reusable component library (buttons, cards, navigation) for consistent design.
  • **Asset Visualization:** Develop the front-end logic to fetch and visually render an animated story/asset from the API.
  • **User Interaction:** Implement key interactive features, such as the ability to initiate an asset transfer or view a detailed asset history.
  • **Responsiveness:** Ensure the design is fully responsive and displays correctly across major desktop and mobile resolutions.

**Definition of Done (DoD):** A single, end-to-end user flow (e.g., Login -> View Story -> Initiate Action) is fully implemented, functional, and approved by the Founder for aesthetics and responsiveness. (Total 15.0%)

6. Tech Support (Founder Empowerment)

Credit: 5.0% (Technical Assistant)

**Expected Task Load & Deliverables:**

  • **Training Materials:** Develop a **two-hour training module** focusing on platform administration, basic debugging, and using the asset creation tools.
  • **Knowledge Base:** Create clear, beginner-friendly tutorials and a **FAQ document** covering common platform actions (e.g., "How to Mint a New Story," "Troubleshooting API Errors").
  • **Direct Onboarding:** Conduct one-on-one session to ensure the Founder is proficient in using the platform for core administrative and creation tasks.

**Definition of Done (DoD):** Training materials and KB documents are finalized. The Founder successfully completes the training session and is able to independently perform all core administrative actions. (Total 5.0%)
