Doc organizer

Doc Organizer

Reorganize scattered documentation into a clear, maintainable structure with a single source of truth for every topic.

Workflow

1. Audit -- Inventory all docs and classify their topics.
2. Plan -- Propose restructuring (moves, merges, deletions). Present the plan for confirmation.
3. Execute -- Apply the changes.
4. Verify -- Cross-check links, terminology, and completeness.

1) Documentation Audit

Scan the repository for documentation files:

• **/*.md, **/*.rst, **/*.txt in root, docs/, guides/, references/
• Inline doc comments in config files (YAML, TOML, JSON)

For each file, record:

• Primary topic and subtopics covered
• Last meaningful update (git log)
• Overlap with other files (flag duplicates)
• References to code that may have changed (staleness candidates)

Output: a summary table of all docs with topic, location, staleness risk, and duplicate flag.

2) Structure Optimization

Canonical locations:

Content type	Location
Project overview, quickstart	README.md
How-to guides, tutorials	guides/
Architecture, deep-dives	docs/
API/CLI reference specs	references/ or docs/reference/
Per-feature notes	colocated with feature code

Propose a move plan as a table: current path -> target path -> action (move/merge/delete/keep). Present the plan and wait for user confirmation before executing.

3) Deduplication

• Identify content repeated across multiple files.
• Choose one canonical location; replace duplicates with a short summary and a link.
• Prefer the more detailed version as the canonical source.

4) Terminology Normalization

• Extract key terms from docs (project name variants, feature names, abbreviations).
• Flag inconsistencies (e.g., "config" vs "configuration", "setup" vs "set up").
• Apply the project's preferred terminology uniformly.

5) Navigation Improvement

• Add or update a table of contents in long documents (>100 lines).
• Add cross-links between related docs.
• Ensure README.md links to all top-level guide and reference docs.
• Create an index page (docs/README.md or docs/index.md) if multiple docs exist without one.

6) Staleness Detection

Compare documentation claims against the current implementation:

• CLI flags/options mentioned in docs vs actual --help output or arg parser code.
• Config keys documented vs keys in schema/defaults.
• API endpoints documented vs route definitions.

Flag mismatches as "needs update" with the specific discrepancy.

Verification Checklist

• No broken internal links (relative paths resolve correctly)
• No orphaned docs (every doc reachable from README or index)
• Terminology consistent across all files
• Examples match current CLI/API behavior
• Duplicate content eliminated (single source of truth per topic)
