The clean code protocol
summary
A concrete protocol that runs a continuous learning cycle with four parts: take small steps, document them, enforce them, and rotate a champion; start by finding four easy wins (rename methods, change comment style, introduce single‑responsibility) and make tests have single reason to fail. Enforce via code reviews and SonarQube, publish skimmable TLDR docs and put formatters in config, hold a periodic learning meeting about once a month, and measure adoption by the number of rules followed in new commits.
