+# Purpose
+Hi! Overfitted here. I am writing this document in response to the large number of hanging dependencies created within
+the first week of the project. This document aims to outline the not so obvious items that should be updated whenever
+you create or modify a feature.
+
+# Table of Contents
+[Person Attributes](#attributes)
+
+<a name="attributes"/>
+## Person Attributes
+Attributes are each to be represented as an object in the person object in [person library]("../src/main/java/seedu.address/model/person".)
+The purpose of this is to make tests easier, apply regex validation and to provide compile-time validation in our 
+commands.
+
+When creating an attribute, you minimally require:
+1. the value itself
+2. Regex validation (for example, no whitespaces at the beginning or end), in case the parser breaks
+   a. use `seedu.address.commons.util.AppUtil.checkArgument`, using a custom `MESSAGE_CONSTRAINTS` as the error message.
+3. null check in the constructor using `java.util.Objects.requireNonNull`
+4. equals
+5. hashCode
+
+Then add tests in [person test directory]("../src/main/java/seedu.address/model/person") for your new class.
+You can reference CaseNumberTest.java for a minimal test, and AddressTest.java for string checks.
+
+To integrate the attribute with the rest of the system, do the following:
+1. Add your attribute prefix to [cliparser]("../src/main/java/seedu/address/logic/parser/CliSyntax.java")
+2. Document your attribute prefix in AddCommand's MESSAGE_USAGE warning
+3. Add parsing for your prefix in [AddCommandParser.java]("src/main/java/seedu/address/logic/parser/AddCommandParser.java")
+   a. arePrefixesPresent check, otherwise will throw java.util.NoSuchElementException instead of CommandException
+4. Add whitespace trimming and validation checks in [ParserUtil.java]("..//home/naws/tp/src/main/java/seedu/address/logic/parser/ParserUtil.java")
+5. Add your attribute to Person class [Person.java]("..//home/naws/tp/src/main/java/seedu/address/model/person/Person.java"),
+   a. make sure that the Person constructor in the returned command works correctly.
+   b. add attribute to `equals` and `toString` function
+   c. add attribute getter
+6. Add your attribute to the [Person test]("../src/test/java/seedu/address/model/person/PersonTest.java")
+7. Add your attribute to JsonAdaptedPerson to allow for storage
+8. Add your attribute to [JsonAdaptedPersonTest]("../src/test/java/seedu/address/storage/JsonAdaptedPersonTest.java")
+9. Add sample attributes to AMY and BOB test data in CommandTestUtil.java + valid prefixed (desc) command for attribute
+   a. Amy for addTest
+   b. Bob for editTest
+10. Add sample attributes to PersonBuilder
+    a. class property
+    b. with<Attribute> method
+    c. build() call to constructor
+11. Add sample attributes to TypicalPersons.java
+12. Add your attribute to `execute_storageThrowsIoException_throwsCommandException` test in LogicManagerTest.java
+13. Add your attribute to AddCommandParserTest.java
+    a. Add valid prefixed command (desc constant) to existing tests
+    b. Add your own test using VALID_<ATTRIBUTE>_BOB instead of DESC command
+14. Add your attribute to PersonUtil.java
+15. Add your attribute to test data json files
+

+### MINIMAL ACCEPTANCE
+FOR ASSIGNEES AND PR MAKERS: Do not merge the PR unless it has the following passing tests:
+1. Attribute tests from [person test directory]("../src/main/java/seedu.address/model/person")
+2. Regex parsing and assertions, with a valid MESSAGE_USAGE warning
+3. AddCommandParserTest.java prefix-less test
+4. AddCommandParserTest.java invalid value test
