Mermaid-Source Duplicate Analysis Report

Analysis Date: 2025-11-20 Analyst: Claude (Sonnet 4.5) Total Files Analyzed: 49 .mmd files across all diagrams folders

Executive Summary​

The mermaid-source/ folder contains 25 diagram files with the following breakdown:

  • ✅ 18 files (72%) are EXACT duplicates of diagrams in phase folders (Phase 3-7)
  • ⚠️ 6 files (24%) are OUTDATED versions of Phase 1 & 2 diagrams
  • 📊 1 file (4%) is unique: master-gantt-timeline.mmd

Overall Assessment: The mermaid-source folder is an ARCHIVE directory containing original diagram versions before they were organized into phase-specific folders.

Detailed Findings​

Category 1: Exact Duplicates (18 files)​

Category 2: Outdated Versions (6 files)​

These files are OLDER versions of Phase 1 & 2 diagrams. The phase folders contain updated, current versions:

Mermaid-Source FilePhase EquivalentStatusNotes
diagram-01.mmdphase-1-claude-framework/phase1-c1-system-context.mmd⚠️ OutdatedPhase version is updated
diagram-02.mmdphase-1-claude-framework/phase1-c2-container.mmd⚠️ OutdatedPhase version shows "50 AI Agents" vs older "46 AI Agents"
diagram-03.mmdphase-1-claude-framework/phase1-c3-agent-execution.mmd⚠️ OutdatedPhase version has refined component details

Recommendations​

Option 1: Archive & Redirect (RECOMMENDED)​

Action: Keep mermaid-source as historical archive with clear warnings

Implementation:

  1. ✅ Update README.md with "⚠️ ARCHIVE FOLDER" warning
  2. ✅ Add redirect notices to all outdated files (diagram-01 through diagram-06)
  3. ✅ Document file mapping (which mermaid-source file → which phase file)
  4. ✅ Add deprecation notices to duplicate files
  5. ✅ Keep master-gantt-timeline.mmd (unique content)

Pros:

  • Preserves historical context
  • Shows evolution of diagrams
  • Useful for auditing/compliance
  • Low risk (nothing deleted)

Cons:

  • Potential confusion if users reference old versions
  • Maintains duplicate content
  • Requires clear documentation

Option 2: Clean Removal​

Action: Delete all duplicate files, keep only unique content

Implementation:

  1. Delete diagram-07.mmd through diagram-24.mmd (18 duplicates)
  2. Update diagram-01 through diagram-06 to match current phase versions, OR delete with redirect
  3. Keep only master-gantt-timeline.mmd
  4. Update README.md to explain mermaid-source is deprecated

Pros:

  • Eliminates duplicate content
  • Forces users to reference canonical phase versions
  • Cleaner repository structure
  • Reduces maintenance burden

Cons:

  • Loses historical context
  • Permanent data loss
  • May break existing references
  • Harder to track diagram evolution

Option 3: Sync & Maintain​

Action: Keep mermaid-source as source-of-truth, sync to phase folders

Implementation:

  1. Update diagram-01 through diagram-06 to current versions
  2. Use mermaid-source as master source
  3. Copy to phase folders (or symlink)
  4. Establish sync process

Pros:

  • Single source of truth
  • Clear diagram ownership
  • Easier to maintain consistency

Cons:

  • Requires ongoing sync process
  • Conflicts with current phase-based organization
  • More complex maintenance
  • Not aligned with current structure (phases are canonical)

Decision Matrix​

CriterionOption 1 (Archive)Option 2 (Delete)Option 3 (Sync)
Preserves history✅ Yes❌ No⚠️ Partial
Eliminates confusion⚠️ Requires docs✅ Yes⚠️ Requires process
Maintenance burdenLowLowestHigh
Risk of data lossNoneHighLow
Aligns with current structure✅ Yes✅ Yes❌ No
Audit/compliance friendly✅ Yes❌ No✅ Yes

Final Recommendation​

OPTION 1: Archive & Redirect

Rationale:

  1. Current structure is phase-based - The phase folders are the canonical source
  2. Historical value - Mermaid-source shows diagram evolution
  3. Low risk - Nothing is deleted
  4. Compliance - Preserves audit trail
  5. Minimal work - Just update documentation, no file moves

Implementation Steps:

  1. ✅ Update README.md with archive notice
  2. ✅ Add redirect comments to diagram-01 through diagram-06
  3. ✅ Add deprecation notices to diagram-07 through diagram-24
  4. ✅ Create file mapping table
  5. ✅ Document master-gantt-timeline.mmd as unique content

Unique/Master Diagrams​

  • master-gantt-timeline.mmd → No equivalent (Unique master timeline)

Conclusion​

The mermaid-source/ folder serves as a historical archive and should be maintained with clear documentation indicating:

  1. Diagram-01 through diagram-06 are OUTDATED (use phase folders for current versions)
  2. Diagram-07 through diagram-24 are EXACT duplicates (phase folders are canonical)
  3. master-gantt-timeline.mmd is UNIQUE and should remain

Recommended Action: Update README.md with archive notice and file mapping table, then consider this folder read-only historical reference.

Analysis Complete Recommendation: Implement Option 1 (Archive & Redirect) Next Steps: Update README.md and add redirect notices to files
