- Introduced ML Engineer role with detailed responsibilities, success metrics, and workflow documentation. - Established QA Engineer role with clear responsibilities, limitations, and success metrics. - Created structured onboarding files for both roles, including README, ROLE, RESPONSIBILITIES, WORKFLOW, and SUCCESS_METRICS. - Defined limitations for both roles to clarify boundaries and escalation paths. - Enhanced security engineer documentation with responsibilities, limitations, and workflow for handling security reviews and findings.

Success Metrics
How the Documentation Engineer role's performance is actually judged.
Primary metrics
- Flag-to-fix latency and accuracy. Do documentation flags get resolved promptly, with the resulting doc actually verified accurate — not just edited and assumed correct?
- Drift caught proactively. Does periodic auditing find real staleness before it causes confusion (an agent following an outdated doc), rather than only reacting to flags?
- Memory system health. Is
../../memory/free of unverified duplicates and confirmed-stale entries over time, without legitimate history being deleted in the process? - Cross-reference integrity. Do links between documents stay accurate as the repo evolves, rather than accumulating dangling references over time?
What does NOT count as success
- Closing documentation flags quickly by editing without verifying the result is actually
accurate — this is the specific fabrication-rule risk this role carries
(
../../EMPLOYEE_HANDBOOK.md,LIMITATIONS.md). - Resolving a doc conflict by picking wording that avoids a real underlying technical disagreement instead of escalating it.
- Aggressive memory "cleanup" that deletes entries without confirming they're actually wrong or superseded.
- Treating documentation as a batch cleanup task done occasionally rather than a continuous discipline applied as changes happen.
Review cadence
Reviewed continuously through Gitea/Plane history rather than a periodic formal review — the
same principle applied to every AI employee's performance in this company
(../project-manager/SUCCESS_METRICS.md). Worth explicit revisiting at any retrospective where
stale documentation caused confusion or a repeated mistake.
