Onboarding a New Team

Step-by-step rollout — connect repos, set baselines, invite developers, and land first reviews.

A proven sequence for introducing ScanDrix to an engineering team without review fatigue.

1

Connect and grant (day 0)

Install the integration for your provider and grant 1–2 pilot repositories — not the whole org yet (Quickstart).

2

Set a conservative baseline

Start with warning severities for style-adjacent rules; keep only genuine security rules at critical. You can tighten later — an untrusted flood of comments in week one loses the team.

3

Run a Dry Run against history

scandrix rules dry-run --since 30d on the pilot repos. Tune matches until would-be findings are findings your senior engineers agree with.

4

Enable on pilot PRs (week 1)

Reviews go live on the pilot repos. Ask the team to mark suggestions helpful/not-applicable — feedback records now shape future review passes.

5

Invite the team (week 2)

Settings → Members — admins configure, members review, viewers read dashboards. Point developers at the CLI for pre-push checks.

6

Roll out org-wide (week 3+)

Grant remaining repositories, promote the tuned rules to organization scope, and add CI merge gates where you want hard enforcement.

What to communicate to developers

  • Reviews usually finish under 60 seconds and never block CI pipelines (async queue).
  • Every comment has a rule ID — /scandrix ignore <rule> --reason ... suppresses with an audit trail.
  • Patch suggestions apply with one click; Drixy never pushes commits itself.
  • Local equivalent: scandrix review --staged.

Rollout checklist

  • Pilot repositories chosen
  • Severities set: critical blocks, warning advises
  • Dry Run reviewed by an owner of the code
  • Team invited with correct roles
  • Merge policies configured per repository
  • CLI documented in the team's dev-environment README
  • Security baseline rules enabled org-wide after pilot week
