# Getting Started: Landmark for Engineers


Landmark gives you visibility into your own practice evidence and growth data —
showing what your engineering record looks like against your framework's
markers.

Landmark requires Map's activity layer (Supabase). If your organization has
already set this up, Landmark works immediately. If not, see the
[Landmark quickstart](/docs/guides/landmark-quickstart/) or ask your engineering
leader to follow the [Map setup guide](/docs/getting-started/leadership/map/).
One command works without Supabase: `marker` reads directly from your framework
YAML.

## Prerequisites

- Node.js 18+
- npm
- Map's activity layer running and populated (for most commands)

## Install

```sh
npm install @forwardimpact/landmark
```

## Browse marker definitions

Look up the observable indicators defined for any skill — useful for
understanding what evidence is expected at each proficiency level:

```sh
npx fit-landmark marker task_completion
npx fit-landmark marker task_completion --level working
```

## Check your evidence

See which markers have evidence linked to your work:

```sh
npx fit-landmark evidence --email you@example.com
npx fit-landmark evidence --skill system_design --email you@example.com
```

Each row shows the artifact, the marker it matched, and Guide's rationale.
Filter by `--skill` to focus on a specific area.

## View your skill coverage

See how complete your evidence record is across all expected skills:

```sh
npx fit-landmark coverage --email you@example.com
```

Coverage shows evidenced artifacts versus total expected markers — a quick gauge
of where your record is strong and where it has gaps.

## Check promotion readiness

See which next-level markers you have already evidenced and which are still
outstanding:

```sh
npx fit-landmark readiness --email you@example.com
npx fit-landmark readiness --email you@example.com --target J060
```

Without `--target`, readiness checks against the next level above your current
level. With `--target`, you can check against any specific level — useful for
planning a multi-level trajectory.

## Track your growth timeline

See how your evidence has accumulated over time, aggregated by quarter:

```sh
npx fit-landmark timeline --email you@example.com
npx fit-landmark timeline --email you@example.com --skill system_design
```

Timelines help you see whether growth is accelerating, stalling, or concentrated
in one area. Add `--skill` to focus on a specific capability.

## Read your voice comments

See your own GetDX snapshot comments in a timeline view alongside evidence
context:

```sh
npx fit-landmark voice --email you@example.com
```

All Landmark commands support `--format text|json|markdown`.
