Key Improvements

Before Consolidation

• ❌ 6 overlapping status documents
• ❌ Scattered information across multiple files
• ❌ Unclear which doc is "source of truth"
• ❌ Difficult to find current state
• ❌ Historical context mixed with active work

After Consolidation

• ✅ Single source of truth (E6-z3ed-implementation-plan.md)
• ✅ Clear separation: Essential → Status → Archive
• ✅ Dedicated docs for specific purposes
• ✅ Easy navigation via README.md
• ✅ Historical docs preserved in archive/

Maintenance Guidelines

Daily Updates

At End of Day:

1. Update WORK_SUMMARY_<DATE>.md with accomplishments
2. Update PROJECT_STATUS_<DATE>.md if major milestone reached
3. Create NEXT_ACTIONS_<TOMORROW>.md with detailed plan

Files to Update:

• E6-z3ed-implementation-plan.md - Task status changes
• TEST_VALIDATION_STATUS_<DATE>.md - Test results (if testing)

Weekly Updates

At End of Week:

1. Archive old daily summaries
2. Update README.md with latest status
3. Review and update E6-z3ed-cli-design.md if architecture changed
4. Clean up archive/ (move very old docs to deeper folder)

Milestone Updates

When Completing Major Phase:

1. Update E6-z3ed-implementation-plan.md executive summary
2. Create milestone summary doc (e.g., IT-02-COMPLETE.md)
3. Update PROJECT_STATUS with new phase
4. Update README.md version and status

Metrics

Documentation Health:

• Total files: 19 active, 18 archived
• Master docs: 2 (plan + design)
• Status docs: 4 (project, work, test, next)
• Reference docs: 3 (quickstart, validation, quickref)
• Historical: 18 (properly archived)

Content Volume:

• Active docs: ~5,000 lines
• Archive: ~3,000 lines
• Total: ~8,000 lines

Organization Score: 9/10

• ✅ Clear structure
• ✅ No duplicates
• ✅ Easy navigation
• ✅ Purpose-driven docs
• ⚠️ Could add more diagrams

Recommendations

Short Term (This Week)

1. ✅ Done: Consolidate status documents
2. 📋 TODO: Add more architecture diagrams to design doc
3. 📋 TODO: Create widget naming guide (mentioned in NEXT_ACTIONS)
4. 📋 TODO: Update IT-01-QUICKSTART with real widget examples

Medium Term (Next Sprint)

1. Create user-facing documentation (separate from dev docs)
2. Add troubleshooting guide with common issues
3. Create video walkthrough of agent workflow
4. Generate API reference from code comments

Long Term (v1.0)

1. Move to proper documentation site (e.g., MkDocs)
2. Add interactive examples
3. Create tutorial series
4. Build searchable knowledge base

Conclusion

Documentation is now well-organized and maintainable:

• ✅ Clear structure with distinct purposes
• ✅ Easy to navigate for all stakeholders
• ✅ Historical context preserved
• ✅ Action-oriented guides for developers
• ✅ Comprehensive status tracking

Next Steps:

1. Continue implementation per NEXT_ACTIONS_OCT3.md
2. Update docs daily as work progresses
3. Archive old summaries weekly
4. Maintain README.md as central index
