## Documentation Structure

The DeepLint documentation is organized into the following sections:

1. **Getting Started**: Quick start guides for new users
2. **Core Concepts**: Explanations of key concepts and features
3. **User Guides**: Detailed guides for specific tasks and features
4. **Developer Documentation**: Information for contributors and developers
5. **Reference**: Detailed reference documentation for APIs, commands, etc.
6. **Documentation Guidelines**: Guidelines for writing and maintaining documentation

## Completed Tasks

### Documentation Structure and Navigation

* [x] Update SUMMARY.md to only include links to existing documentation files
* [x] Add "Coming Soon" or "Planned" labels to features not yet implemented
* [x] Reorganize structure to match actual codebase
* [x] Add cross-references between related sections
* [x] Ensure consistent depth of documentation across topics
* [x] Create a more intuitive hierarchy

### Content Consolidation and Deduplication

* [x] Merge overlapping content between `concepts/context-building.md` and `developer/components/context-builder/overview.md`
* [x] Ensure user-focused content is in concepts/ and developer-focused content is in developer/
* [x] Add cross-references instead of duplicating content
* [x] Create a single source of truth for configuration options
* [x] Ensure consistency between user and developer documentation
* [x] Clarify which options are implemented vs. planned
* [x] Remove duplicate architecture diagrams
* [x] Ensure consistent terminology across documents
* [x] Create clearer separation between high-level and detailed architecture

### Content Enhancement and Gap Filling

* [x] Ensure all implemented commands are documented
* [x] Standardize command documentation format
* [x] Add more practical examples
* [x] Focus on actual implemented features
* [x] Add troubleshooting section
* [x] Improve first-run experience documentation
* [x] Update contributing guidelines with more specific examples
* [x] Add more code examples for common development tasks
* [x] Ensure consistency with actual codebase

### Content Quality and Consistency

* [x] Create documentation style guide
* [x] Create code examples guidelines
* [x] Create readability guidelines
* [x] Remove redundant comments in code examples
* [x] Ensure code examples follow project's clean code guidelines
* [x] Keep only essential explanatory comments
* [x] Remove unnecessary technical jargon from user guides
* [x] Add more examples for common use cases
* [x] Improve visual elements (diagrams, tables)

### Documentation-Reality Alignment

* [x] Update roadmap documentation
* [x] Ensure roadmap reflects current implementation status
* [x] Clearly mark unimplemented features
* [x] Update timelines and priorities

## Remaining Tasks

### Missing Documentation Files

* [ ] Create `concepts/semantic-analysis.md` (Planned feature)
* [ ] Create `concepts/auto-fixes.md` (Planned feature)
* [x] Document the file system scanner in `developer/components/context-builder/file-system-scanner.md`
* [x] Document the dependency analyzer in `developer/components/context-builder/dependency-analyzer.md`
* [x] Document the code structure analyzer in `developer/components/context-builder/code-structure.md`
* [x] Create reference documentation for CLI commands
* [x] Create reference documentation for configuration schema
* [ ] Create reference documentation for API

### Documentation Maintenance

* [ ] Treat documentation as part of the codebase
* [ ] Review documentation changes alongside code changes
* [ ] Require documentation updates for new features
* [ ] Verify links in documentation
* [ ] Ensure examples work as described
* [ ] Check for outdated information
* [ ] Version documentation alongside code
* [ ] Maintain documentation for previous versions
* [ ] Clearly mark deprecated features

## Documentation for Planned Features

The following documentation will be created as the corresponding features are implemented:

### LLM Analysis Functionality

* [ ] Document LLM integration
* [ ] Document prompt templates
* [ ] Document response parsing
* [ ] Document analysis results

### Git Hooks Functionality

* [ ] Document `--install-hooks` flag
* [ ] Document pre-commit hook template
* [ ] Document hook installation logic
* [ ] Document `config set` command

### Check Command

* [ ] Document `check` command
* [ ] Document file selection logic
* [ ] Document integration with context builder

### Auto-Fix Functionality

* [ ] Document `--wizard` flag
* [ ] Document fix suggestion logic
* [ ] Document fix application

## Implementation Approach

The implementation of these documentation improvements should follow these principles:

1. **Documentation-as-Code**: Treat documentation as a first-class citizen in the codebase
2. **Incremental Improvement**: Focus on making the documentation better, not redoing it completely
3. **Prioritize Implemented Features**: Ensure documentation for implemented features is complete and accurate
4. **Consistency**: Maintain consistent style, terminology, and structure
5. **User-Centric**: Prioritize improvements that enhance the user experience

## Documentation Guidelines

For detailed guidelines on writing and maintaining documentation, see:

* [Documentation Style Guide](https://docs.deeplint.com/documentation/style-guide)
* [Code Examples Guidelines](https://docs.deeplint.com/documentation/code-examples)
* [Readability Guidelines](https://docs.deeplint.com/documentation/readability)

## Next Steps

1. ~~Document the remaining context builder components~~ ✅ Completed
2. ~~Create reference documentation for CLI commands~~ ✅ Completed
3. Establish documentation maintenance process
4. Set up documentation testing and versioning
5. Create documentation for planned features as they are implemented
