Installing Roy

There is no installer. This page describes how working together tends to go.

Requirements

Requirement	Notes
A real problem	Preferably written down. If it is not, that is the first job.
Someone who can say what “done” looks like	Even roughly.
A repository	Version control is not optional.
Coffee	Dependencies you need: coffee.

Steps

1. Describe the problem. Expect questions. Most ambiguity is cheaper to remove before code exists.
2. Agree the smallest useful thing. Then build that.
3. Document as you go. Docs and code change in the same commit.
4. Ship with guardrails. Tests, pipelines and rollbacks are what make speed safe.
5. Hand over properly. Someone else should be able to run it, and fix it, without asking.

Verify

You should be able to answer three questions without asking: what it does, how to run it, and how to change it.
