2. Consolidate Duplicates
Coverage Documentation (30 → 1):
- Keep:
/docs/guides/COVERAGE-ANALYSIS.md - Archive: All 29 coverage reports
- Update: User guide with v1.7.0 examples
Learning System Documentation (58 → 1):
- Keep:
/docs/guides/LEARNING-SYSTEM-USER-GUIDE.md - Archive: All 57 learning system reports
- Update: User guide with current API
Test Generation Documentation (20+ → 1):
- Keep:

Phase 2: Consolidate Duplicates (Week 2)
- Identify canonical versions
- Merge useful content
- Archive duplicates
- Update links
Impact: Reduce from 511 → ~100 files
Phase 3: Update Outdated Docs (Week 3)

- Update code examples
- Verify API references
- Remove deprecated docs
Impact: All docs current to v1.7.0
Phase 4: Create Missing Docs (Week 4)
- Migration guide v1.6 → v1.7
- Troubleshooting guide
- Enhanced examples
- Best practices guide
Impact: Complete user documentation

Governance Going Forward
Documentation Policy
Allowed in /docs:
- ✅ User-facing guides and tutorials
- ✅ Reference documentation
- ✅ Architecture documentation
- ✅ Policies and standards
- ✅ Current version release notes
NOT allowed in /docs:
- ❌ Agent task completion reports
- ❌ Session summaries
- ❌ Implementation status updates
- ❌ One-time analysis reports
- ❌ Development milestone reports
Agent Reports Go To: /docs/reports-archive/YYYY-MM-DD/
Update Process
-
Every Release:
- Create release notes
- Update migration guide (if breaking changes)
- Verify code examples work
- Update changelog
-
Every Quarter:
- Review documentation accuracy
- Check for outdated information
- Update based on user feedback
- Archive old agent reports
-
Continuous:
- Link checking (automated)
- Example code testing (automated)
- User feedback collection
Next Steps
- Review this analysis with team
- Approve reorganization approach
- Execute Phase 1 (archive reports)
- Validate improvements
- Continue with Phases 2-4
Analysis Complete: All documentation categorized and improvement plan created.
Key Insight: Users need 53 current docs, not 899 historical reports. Archive 388 agent reports, consolidate duplicates, update outdated content.
Recommendation: Execute reorganization immediately. Current state is unusable.
