# Documentation Audit Report **Date**: 2025-07-26 **Branch**: feature/http-sse-sqlite-vec **Purpose**: Consolidation analysis for unified installer merge ## Current Documentation Inventory ### Installation-Related Documentation - `README.md` (root) - Main installation instructions, needs backend choice integration - `docs/guides/installation.md` - Detailed installation guide (12KB) - `docs/guides/windows-setup.md` - Windows-specific setup (4KB) - `docs/guides/UBUNTU_SETUP.md` - Ubuntu-specific setup - `docs/sqlite-vec-backend.md` - SQLite-vec backend guide - `MIGRATION_GUIDE.md` (root) - ChromaDB to SQLite-vec migration - `scripts/install_windows.py` - Windows installer script - `scripts/installation/install.py` - Alternative installer script ### Platform-Specific Documentation - `docs/integration/homebrew/` (7 files) - Homebrew PyTorch integration - `HOMEBREW_PYTORCH_README.md` - Main Homebrew integration - `HOMEBREW_PYTORCH_SETUP.md` - Setup instructions - `TROUBLESHOOTING_GUIDE.md` - Homebrew troubleshooting - `docs/guides/windows-setup.md` - Windows platform guide - `docs/guides/UBUNTU_SETUP.md` - Linux platform guide ### API and Technical Documentation - `docs/IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN_HTTP_SSE.md` - HTTP/SSE implementation plan - `docs/guides/claude_integration.md` - Claude Desktop integration - `docs/guides/invocation_guide.md` - Usage guide - `docs/technical/` - Technical implementation details ### Migration and Troubleshooting - `MIGRATION_GUIDE.md` - ChromaDB to SQLite-vec migration - `docs/guides/migration.md` - General migration guide - `docs/guides/troubleshooting.md` - General troubleshooting - `docs/integration/homebrew/TROUBLESHOOTING_GUIDE.md` - Homebrew-specific ## Documentation Gaps Identified ### 1. Master Installation Guide Missing - No single source of truth for installation - Backend selection guidance scattered - Hardware-specific optimization not documented coherently ### 2. Legacy Hardware Support Documentation - 2015 MacBook Pro scenario not explicitly documented - Older Intel Mac optimization path unclear - Homebrew PyTorch integration buried in subdirectory ### 3. Storage Backend Comparison - No comprehensive comparison between ChromaDB and SQLite-vec - Selection criteria not clearly documented - Migration paths not prominently featured ### 4. HTTP/SSE API Documentation - Implementation plan exists but user-facing API docs missing - Integration examples needed - SSE event documentation incomplete ## Consolidation Strategy ### Phase 1: Create Master Documents 1. **docs/guides/INSTALLATION_MASTER.md** - Comprehensive installation guide 2. **docs/guides/STORAGE_BACKENDS.md** - Backend comparison and selection 3. **docs/guides/HARDWARE_OPTIMIZATION.md** - Platform-specific optimizations 4. **docs/api/HTTP_SSE_API.md** - Complete API documentation ### Phase 2: Platform-Specific Consolidation 1. **docs/platforms/macos-intel-legacy.md** - Your 2015 MacBook Pro use case 2. **docs/platforms/macos-modern.md** - Recent Mac configurations 3. **docs/platforms/windows.md** - Consolidated Windows guide 4. **docs/platforms/linux.md** - Consolidated Linux guide ### Phase 3: Merge and Reorganize 1. Consolidate duplicate content 2. Create cross-references between related docs 3. Update README.md to point to new structure 4. Archive or remove obsolete documentation ## High-Priority Actions 1. ✅ Create this audit document 2. ⏳ Create master installation guide 3. ⏳ Consolidate platform-specific guides 4. ⏳ Document hardware intelligence matrix 5. ⏳ Create migration consolidation guide 6. ⏳ Update README.md with new structure ## Content Quality Assessment ### Good Documentation (Keep/Enhance) - `MIGRATION_GUIDE.md` - Well structured, clear steps - `docs/sqlite-vec-backend.md` - Comprehensive backend guide - `docs/integration/homebrew/HOMEBREW_PYTORCH_README.md` - Good Homebrew integration ### Needs Improvement - `README.md` - Lacks backend choice prominence - `docs/guides/installation.md` - Too generic, needs hardware-specific paths - Multiple troubleshooting guides need consolidation ### Duplicated Content (Consolidate) - Installation instructions repeated across multiple files - Windows setup scattered between guides and scripts - Homebrew integration documentation fragmented ## Next Steps 1. Begin creating master installation guide 2. Merge hardware-specific content from various sources 3. Create clear user journey documentation 4. Test documentation accuracy with actual installations
