Rationale
Why Archive These Files?
Implementation Summaries & Status Reports:
- Historical records of completed work
- Not needed for day-to-day development
- Valuable for project history, but cluttering root
TUI Implementation Docs (9 files):
- TUI is now integrated and stable
- Implementation details no longer needed at root
- Active guides (TUI_README, TUI_QUICK_START, TUI_INTEGRATION_GUIDE) remain
Temporary Scripts:
- One-time integration/patch scripts
- Functionality now in main codebase
- Not executable or maintained
Phase Reports:
- Historical analysis from specific development phases
- Features now documented in active guides
- Useful for reference, not active development
Why Keep These Files Active?
Framework Core (CLAUDE.md, FLAGS.md, RULES.md):
- Referenced by Claude Code during every session
- Define active behavioral modes and rules
Feature Guides (AI_INTELLIGENCE_GUIDE.md, WATCH_MODE_GUIDE.md, etc.):
- Document actively used features
- Frequently referenced by users
- Maintained and updated regularly
Quick Start & Installation (TUI_QUICK_START.md, INSTALL.md):
- Essential onboarding documents
- First documents new users encounter
Integration Guides:
- Help users integrate features
- Document current best practices
Maintenance Guidelines
When to Archive
Immediately archive:
- ✅ Files with "FINAL", "COMPLETE", "SUMMARY" in name after project completion
- ✅ Implementation/planning docs for completed initiatives
- ✅ Temporary scripts/patches no longer needed
- ✅ Analysis reports from past phases
Consider archiving (after review):
- Files not modified in 6+ months
- Files superseded by newer documentation
- POC summaries for experiments not pursued
Keep active:
- Main project docs (README, CONTRIBUTING)
- Framework configuration (CLAUDE.md, FLAGS.md, RULES.md)
- Feature guides for current features
- Getting started / installation docs
- Integration guides
Archive Organization
completed-tasks/ - Use for:
- Sprint summaries and task plans
- Implementation summaries (after completion)
- Project status reports
- Temporary integration scripts
- Patch files
reports/ - Use for:
- Analysis reports (competitive, performance, etc.)
- Phase summaries and retrospectives
- Audit reports
deprecated/ - Use for:
- Documentation superseded by newer guides
- Keep if still referenced but no longer authoritative
- Include deprecation notice in file
Delete entirely (don't archive):
- Generated build artifacts
- Test reports with timestamps
- Temporary cache files
- Duplicate content
Quarterly Cleanup Checklist
- Review root-level docs for completion markers
- Archive completed implementation summaries
- Archive temporary scripts no longer used
- Review docs/ for outdated analysis reports
- Check for duplicate content
- Update this summary with new archives
Git Commit
git add docs/archive/
git add -u # Stage deletions
git commit -m "docs: archive completed task documentation and temporary scripts
- Archive 29 completed task documents and implementation summaries
- Archive 3 historical reports and 1 deprecated doc
- Archive 6 temporary integration scripts and 1 patch file
- Archive TUI launcher script (superseded by 'cortex tui')
- Reduce root markdown files by 59% (37 → 15)
- Improve discoverability by keeping only active documentation
Created organized archive structure:
- docs/archive/completed-tasks/ (29 files)
- docs/archive/reports/ (3 files)
- docs/archive/deprecated/ (1 file)
All archived files preserved for project history."
Notes
- All archived files are preserved and can be referenced from archive
- Archive maintains chronological order (no renaming)
- Git history preserved for all moved files
- No functionality removed, only organizational improvement
- Active documentation remains comprehensive and up-to-date
Next Steps
- ✅ Review cleanup results
- ✅ Commit changes to repository
- ✅ Update documentation links if needed
- ⏭️ Consider adding archive index README for easier navigation
- ⏭️ Set calendar reminder for next quarterly cleanup (2025-02-04)
