Major documentation reorganization to reduce AI agent context size by ~58%
and establish sustainable maintenance practices.
## File Moves (Root → doc/)
- Move COMPLETED.md (new), HANDOFF*.md, *_ANALYSIS.md, *_SUMMARY.md to doc/
- Keep only 5 essential files in root: CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, PROJECT_CONTEXT.md, TODO.md, README.md
- Result: Clean root directory with clear project essentials
## New Documentation
- doc/CONTEXT_MAINTENANCE.md: Comprehensive guide for keeping context clean
- 4-tier hierarchy (Critical/Technical/Design/Archive)
- Maintenance schedules (after milestones, monthly, on-demand)
- Size targets, red flags, workflows
- Monthly checklist template
- doc/COMPLETED.md: Historical archive of completed milestones
- Moved "Recently Completed" sections from TODO.md and PROJECT_CONTEXT.md
- Detailed completion history (February 4-7, 2026)
- Frees up ~200 lines from active context
## Agent Config Updates
- CLAUDE.md: Restructured with 4-tier hierarchy
- Tier 1: Critical (always loaded) - 3 files
- Tier 2: Technical (always loaded) - 3 files
- Tier 3: Design (on-demand) - 9 files
- Tier 4: Archive (rarely) - 10 files
- Clear usage instructions for on-demand loading
- GEMINI.md: Same tier structure + Gemini-specific state snapshot
- Consistent with CLAUDE.md hierarchy
- Preserved agent-specific context
## Content Optimization
- PROJECT_CONTEXT.md: Removed verbose milestones (~160 lines)
- Replaced with concise "Current Status" summary
- Points to COMPLETED.md for history
- TODO.md: Removed Task #51 detailed plan (~200 lines)
- Marked Task #51 as completed
- Kept only active/next tasks
## Impact
- Context size: 70K → 29K tokens (58% reduction)
- Root directory: 15 → 5 files (67% cleaner)
- Tier 1-2 files: 7,329 words (well under 10K target)
- Documented maintenance process for sustainability
## Files Changed
Modified: CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, PROJECT_CONTEXT.md, TODO.md
New: doc/COMPLETED.md, doc/CONTEXT_MAINTENANCE.md
Moved: 10 technical docs from root to doc/
