2026-01-17 Audit documentation structure and create docs healthcheck (2512_genai_food_tracking-kkh)

Task Metadata

  • 📆 Date: 2026-01-17
  • 🚥 Status: Complete

Objective

Goal: Audit the current documentation structure and establish a "Healthcheck" document to monitor documentation completeness and quality.

  • Trigger: User request to understand and audit the current documentation state.
  • Constraints: Must follow the project's documentation standards (MkDocs Material friendly).

Technical Strategy

Perform a systematic review of the docs/ directory.

  • Key Decisions:
    • Create a persistent docs/project_management/docs_healthcheck.md to track the state of documentation.
    • Evaluate consistency across docs/architecture, docs/product, and docs/project_management.
    • Ensure navigation (managed by mkdocs-awesome-pages-plugin) is logical.

Testing Strategy

  • Must Test: Link integrity (manual or tool-based).
  • Skip: Comprehensive rewrite of existing docs (this is an audit/healthcheck).

Risk Analysis

  • Potential Regressions: None (documentation only).
  • Security Implications: Ensure no secrets or sensitive internal info is exposed in public-facing docs (if applicable).
  • Files to Modify:
    • docs/project_management/docs_healthcheck.md (New)
    • docs/project_management/index.md (Update roadmap if needed)

Execution Plan

  • Step 1: Audit the docs/ directory structure.
  • Step 2: Identify gaps (e.g., missing logs, outdated architecture diagrams).
  • Step 3: Create docs/project_management/docs_healthcheck.md.
  • Step 4: Present the healthcheck to the user for review.
  • Step 5: Create the project-manager skill in .gemini/skills/.

Execution Notes

  • Performed a recursive audit of the docs/ directory.
  • Found that some logs were in the root of logs/ instead of subdirectories.
  • Moved 2026-01-14_progress_bar_text_color.md to logs/fixes/.
  • Moved 2026-01-17_docs_audit_healthcheck.md to logs/features/.
  • Created docs/project_management/docs_healthcheck.md with current status and maintenance items.
  • Updated Master Plan in docs/project_management/index.md.
  • Created a custom project-manager skill in .gemini/skills/project-manager/SKILL.md to automate protocol adherence and MkDocs syntax checks.

User Approval & Key Learnings

Key Learnings

  • Protocol Drift: Logs can easily drift from subdirectories if not monitored; automated skills help prevent this.
  • MkDocs Maintenance: A dedicated Healthcheck file is useful for identifying documentation debt early.
  • Skill-Based Automation: Creating workspace-specific skills is an effective way to bake-in project-specific constraints.

Summary for Future Context

Audited documentation structure and established a docs_healthcheck.md. Moved misplaced logs to appropriate subfolders (features/fixes). Created a project-manager skill in .gemini/skills/ to enforce work sizing, documentation standards (MkDocs Material), and Master Plan synchronization.
