离开时，让工作比你接手时更好。
一份别人能理解的文档，一个不依赖记忆的流程，一个下一位可以维护的系统，一条无需重新学习的经验。
好的工作不只创造结果，也创造让别人继续前进的可能。阅读宣言
DELIVERY IS NOT THE END
交付完成任务，Stewardship 准备任务之后的事情。
The file was sentCan someone else understand it?
The feature worksWho will maintain it?
The campaign endedWere lessons preserved?
The client approvedAre next expectations clear?
The deadline passedWhere do remaining risks live?
Work is complete only when the next part can begin.
WORK SHOULD OUTLIVE THE WORKER
工作应在创造者离开后仍然有用。
Not only one person has the password.
Not only one person understands the system.
Not only one person holds the relationship.
Not only one person remembers why decisions were made.
Not only one person can fix it.
Not only one person can continue.
A person's value does not decrease when they help others continue the work.
DOCUMENTATION IS CARE FOR THE FUTURE
文档是对未来的一种照顾。
Decisions and reasons.
Processes.
System structure.
Access rights.
Known limits.
Risks.
Incident response.
Lessons.
Open questions.
Next directions.
Documentation is not secondary work. It is care for the future.
DO NOT BUILD DEPENDENCY AROUND YOURSELF
强大的贡献不会让所有人都依赖贡献者。
Hold informationShare context
Hold every decisionDelegate appropriately
Do everything aloneBuild team capability
Become a bottleneckCreate alternate paths
Prove indispensabilityMake the system less fragile
KNOWLEDGE SHOULD MOVE
知识需要流动。
Write down what was learned.
Teach someone else.
Create templates.
Build checklists.
Record common mistakes.
Share context.
Make reusable resources.
Let others improve them.
LEAVE SYSTEMS UNDERSTANDABLE
如果别人无法理解，系统就还没有完成。
NamingNeeds consistency
StructureNeeds logic
ProcessNeeds hidden steps revealed
OwnershipNeeds clear responsibility
TestingNeeds a definition of working
ExceptionsNeed to be recorded
MAINTAINABILITY IS QUALITY
可维护性也是质量。
Easy to update.
Easy to repair.
Not dependent on dying tools.
Does not create excessive handover cost.
Can expand.
Can be retired safely.
A fast solution that creates long-term burden may not be a good solution.
CARE FOR SHARED RESOURCES
使用共享资源时，要记得后来者也需要它们。
Team timeDo not waste it in purposeless meetings
BudgetDo not use it to hide poor decisions
DataDo not collect what is unnecessary
Brand reputationDo not trade it for short-term gain
User trustDo not overexploit it
InfrastructureDo not leave invisible cost
LEAVE RELATIONSHIPS IN GOOD CONDITION
不应通过削弱他人仍需维护的关系来创造结果。
Clients.
Partners.
Colleagues.
Communities.
Users.
Vendors.
CREDIT THE FOUNDATION YOU INHERITED
Stewardship 从承认自己继承了某种基础开始。
No one starts entirely from zero.
HANDOVER IS A HABIT
交接是一种持续习惯，而不是最后的事件。
Documentation stays current.
Access is not owned by one person.
Decisions are recorded when made.
Knowledge is shared continuously.
Backup ownership exists.
A handover path is always ready.
KNOW WHAT SHOULD NOT CONTINUE
Stewardship 不是保存一切，而是负责任地决定什么应该继续。
Unneeded dataDelete safely
Ineffective processStop it
Outdated documentationReplace or remove
Harmful productDo not continue because of sunk cost
Obsolete systemRetire with a plan
TECHNOLOGY NEEDS STEWARDSHIP
负责任的技术应为变化、故障和关闭做好准备。
Allow data export.
Record automated decisions.
Have recovery plans.
Clarify AI content sources.
Assign maintenance ownership.
Prepare for platform migration.
Plan for product shutdown.
STEWARDSHIP IN WORK IDENTITY
Work identity 应展示你帮助什么得以继续。
DocumentationWhat you documented
ProcessWhat you standardized
SystemWhat you improved
PeopleWho you trained
KnowledgeWhat you transferred
RiskWhat you reduced
ResourcesWhat others can reuse
ContinuityHow others can take over
WHY FORWORK EXISTS
Forwork was built so long-term contributions do not disappear when a project or role ends.
So people can preserve context, documentation, processes, transferred knowledge and impact that continues after they leave.
