(hijacked, changed list into a checklist, so we can tick off what's there)

It would be good to have this extracted as a breakout doc in reference as we do with ruby. Trying to think where it would appear in the checklist, in an existing section or in a new section called Code quality? You could then bring Testing, Linting and local Dev into this new section.
