Contributing and Updating

When updating docs, maintain this structure:

  • README.md: Keep the essence, the "why", the 10-minute overview
  • VISUAL-GUIDE.md: Add diagrams for each stage, show progression
  • ARCHITECTURE.md: Deep-dive technical details, system design
  • QUICK-REFERENCE.md: Quick commands, troubleshooting, cleanup
  • TESTING.md: Validation approach, test cases
  • This file: Update when adding new docs or reorganizing
