During September 2025, James Powell focused on streamlining local development workflows by updating documentation across the companieshouse/api-sdk-node and companieshouse/confirmation-statement-web repositories. He removed outdated references to Tilt, replacing them with CHS-dev tooling such as docker-chs-development and the 'chs-dev up' command, thereby aligning setup instructions with current practices. Working exclusively in Markdown, James clarified onboarding steps and eliminated unnecessary procedures, reducing friction for new contributors. His work centered on documentation improvements rather than code changes or bug fixes, demonstrating a targeted approach to developer experience. The updates provided clear, consistent guidance for local environment setup across both repositories.
