# 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
