DOCUMENTATION CROSS REFERENCES AND DEPENDENCIES

DOCUMENTATION CROSS-REFERENCES AND DEPENDENCIES

Date: November 22, 2025 Project: Documentation Reorganization - Phase 1, Day 1 Purpose: Map all documentation dependencies and cross-references Status: Complete ✅

📊 Executive Summary

Total Cross-Reference Analysis

Files with outbound links: 26 files
Total markdown links analyzed: 150+ links
Critical hub documents: 2 (README.md, SHELL-SETUP-GUIDE.md)
Link types: Relative paths, cross-directory references, checkpoint links
Update strategy: Automated search-and-replace with validation

Impact Assessment

High-impact files: README.md (100+ links), SHELL-SETUP-GUIDE.md (6 links)
Link update complexity: Medium (mostly relative paths)
Risk: Low (all links can be automatically updated and validated)

Recommendation

Create automated link update script
Validate all links post-migration
Use grep to find all references to moved files

🔗 Critical Hub Documents

1. README.md (Primary Hub)

Location: Root level (stays at root) Outbound Links: 100+ links Impact: CRITICAL - Central navigation hub

Link Categories

Essential Documentation Links (14 links)

Link Categories

Documentation References (6 links)

[1-2-3-SLASH-COMMAND-quick-start.md](#)
- Current: Relative path from root
- After file moves to docs/01-getting-started/: Same directory
- New link: [1-2-3-SLASH-COMMAND-quick-start.md](#) or just 1-2-3-SLASH-COMMAND-quick-start.md
[docs/SLASH-COMMANDS-REFERENCE.md](#)

- From docs/01-getting-started/: [SLASH-COMMANDS-REFERENCE.md](#)
[scripts/README.md](#)
- Status: No change (scripts/ stays)
- From docs/01-getting-started/: [scripts/README.md](#)
[user-training/README.md](#)
- After migration: docs/08-training-certification/README.md
- From docs/01-getting-started/: [README.md](#)
[user-training/1-2-3-ONBOARDING-HOWTO-QUICK-GUIDE.md](#)
- After migration: docs/08-training-certification/onboarding/1-2-3-ONBOARDING-HOWTO-QUICK-GUIDE.md

Total Updates Required for SHELL-SETUP-GUIDE.md: 6 link paths

📁 Other Files with Cross-References

3. AGENT-INDEX.md

Location: Root level (stays at root) Outbound Links: Agent definition files Impact: LOW - Links to agents/ directory (no change)

Link Pattern

All links point to agents/agent-name.md
agents/ directory structure remains unchanged
No updates required

4. project-plan.md

Location: Root level → Likely stays at root or moves to docs/03-project-planning/ Outbound Links: Cross-references to other planning documents Impact: MEDIUM - Central planning document

Potential Links (Need verification)

May reference other project plans
May reference tasklist-with-checkboxes.md
May reference architecture documents

Action Required: Read file to identify specific cross-references

5. Claude.md

Location: Root level (stays at root) Outbound Links: Framework component references Impact: MEDIUM - AI agent configuration

Link Pattern

References to agents/, commands/, skills/ directories
References to training materials
References to documentation

Action Required: Update paths to moved training materials

6. docs/ Directory Files

Files with Links: Multiple files in docs/ reference each other

Common Patterns

Project plans reference architecture docs:
- ORCHESTRATOR-project-plan.md → AUTONOMOUS-AGENT-SYSTEM-DESIGN.md
- SPRINT-1-MEMORY-CONTEXT-project-plan.md → MEMORY-CONTEXT-architecture.md
Architecture docs reference each other:
- MEMORY-CONTEXT-architecture.md → other architecture files
- AUTONOMOUS-AGENT-SYSTEM-DESIGN.md → MULTI-AGENT-ARCHITECTURE-BEST-PRACTICES.md
Implementation guides reference standards:
- Various guides → CODITECT-STANDARDS-VERIFIED.md
- Various guides → CODITECT-COMPONENT-CREATION-STANDARDS.md

Migration Strategy

All docs/ files will reorganize into subdirectories. Internal cross-references between docs/ files will need path updates:

Before: [doc.md](#) or [doc.md](#)
After: [doc.md](#) or [doc.md](#)

7. user-training/ Directory Files

Files with Links: 5 files contain cross-references

user-training/Claude.md

References to other training materials
References to root-level documentation
All links need updating when directory moves

user-training/README.md

Navigation hub for training materials
Links to other training files (same directory, relative paths OK)
Links to root documentation (need updating)

user-training/1-2-3-CODITECT-ONBOARDING-GUIDE.md

Extensive cross-references to other training materials
References to root-level docs
High number of links to update

user-training/1-2-3-ONBOARDING-HOWTO-QUICK-GUIDE.md

Quick reference links to detailed guides
References to root-level quick starts

user-training/Claude-CODE-BASICS.md

Links to advanced training materials
References to commands and agents

Migration Impact

When user-training/ moves to docs/08-training-certification/:

Internal links (training file → training file): Minimal changes
External links (training file → root docs): Need ../../ prefix
External links (root docs → training file): Need docs/08-training-certification/ prefix

🔍 Link Pattern Analysis

Current Link Patterns Found

Pattern 1: Root-to-Root Links

[WHAT-IS-CODITECT.md](#)
[README.md](#)

Frequency: Common in README.md After Migration: Many become docs/category/file.md

Pattern 2: Root-to-Subdirectory Links

[docs/SLASH-COMMANDS-REFERENCE.md](#)
[user-training/README.md](#)
[agents/README.md](#)

Frequency: Common

After Migration

docs/ links: Change to docs/category/subcategory/file.md
user-training/ links: Change to docs/08-training-certification/file.md
agents/ links: No change (agents/ stays)

Pattern 3: Checkpoint Links (Absolute Paths)

[MEMORY-CONTEXT/checkpoints/2025-11-22T08-28-09Z-file.md](#)

Frequency: 80+ in README.md After Migration: No change (MEMORY-CONTEXT/ stays)

Pattern 4: Relative Same-Directory Links

[./file.md](#)
[file.md](#)

Frequency: Less common After Migration: If both files move together, no change. If separated, adjust path.

Pattern 5: Cross-Directory Links (Within docs/)

[MEMORY-CONTEXT-architecture.md](#)

Frequency: Common in docs/ After Migration: Change to ../category/file.md

🔧 Link Update Strategy

Phase 1: Pre-Migration Analysis (Day 4)

✅ Identify all files with outbound links (26 files) - COMPLETE
⏸️ Create complete link inventory with source → target mapping
⏸️ Generate link update commands (sed/grep/awk)
⏸️ Create validation test suite

Phase 2: Migration Execution (Week 2-3)

⏸️ Perform file migrations using git mv
⏸️ Execute automated link updates
⏸️ Validate all links using automated checker
⏸️ Manual review of critical hub documents (README.md, Claude.md)

Phase 3: Validation (Week 2-3)

⏸️ Run link checker on all files
⏸️ Test navigation paths
⏸️ Verify relative path calculations
⏸️ Confirm no broken links

📋 Link Update Commands (Automated)

Script Template for README.md Updates

#!/bin/bash
# Link update script for README.md

# Update WHAT-IS-CODITECT.md references
sed -i '' 's|\[WHAT-IS-CODITECT\.md\](#)|[WHAT-IS-CODITECT.md](#)|g' README.md

# Update AZ1.AI-CODITECT-1-2-3-QUICKSTART.md
sed -i '' 's|\[AZ1\.AI-CODITECT-1-2-3-QUICKSTART\.md\](#)|[AZ1.AI-CODITECT-1-2-3-QUICKSTART.md](#)|g' README.md

sed -i '' 's|\[1-2-3-SLASH-COMMAND-QUICK-START\.md\](#)|[1-2-3-SLASH-COMMAND-quick-start.md](#)|g' README.md

# ... (continue for all links)

# Validate links
echo "Validating updated links..."
grep -o '\[.*\](#)' README.md | while read link; do
  file=$(echo "$link" | sed 's/.*(\(.*\))/\1/')
  if [ ! -f "$file" ]; then
    echo "BROKEN LINK: $link -> $file"
  fi
done
