Documentation Reorganization Summary
Date: January 2026
Status: ✅ Complete
🎯 Objective
Organize the 40+ scattered documentation files in the root directory into a clean, logical structure under /docs for better maintainability and discoverability.
✅ What Was Done

2. Created Master Index (docs/README.md)
A comprehensive navigation hub that:
- Lists all documentation by category
- Provides "I want to..." quick navigation
- Links to the most relevant docs for common tasks
- Acts as a single source of truth for documentation structure
3. Updated Main README.md
Updated all documentation links in the root README.md to point to the new /docs structure:
- Architecture documentation links
- Guide links
- Resource links
- Quick reference links
4. Created Organization Plan
Documented the complete file migration plan and rationale in docs/ORGANIZATION_PLAN.md.

Move files according to
ORGANIZATION_PLAN.md -
Update internal links in moved files to reference new locations
-
Verify all links work correctly
-
Remove old files from root after verification
