Documentation Refactor
Refactor project documentation structure adapted to project type:
- Analyze project: Identify type (library/API/web app/CLI/microservices), architecture, and user personas
- Centralize docs: Move technical documentation to
docs/with proper cross-references - Root README.md: Streamline as entry point with overview, quickstart, modules/components summary, license, contacts
- Component docs: Add module/package/service-level README files with setup and testing instructions
- Organize
docs/by relevant categories:- Architecture, API Reference, Database, Design, Troubleshooting, Deployment, Contributing (adapt to project needs)
- Create guides (select applicable):
- User Guide: End-user documentation for applications
- API Documentation: Endpoints, authentication, examples for APIs
- Development Guide: Setup, testing, contribution workflow
- Deployment Guide: Production deployment for services/apps
- Use Mermaid for all diagrams (architecture, flows, schemas)
Keep docs concise, scannable, and contextual to project type.
