Quick Start

For Michael (Immediate Use)

  1. Review the proposal — docs-organization-proposal.md for full vision
  2. Open PR bundle — PR_BUNDLE_C147_DOCS_SKELETON.md
  3. Copy to Codex/Cursor — Paste entire PR bundle
  4. Say to AI: "Apply this PR plan and create these files"
  5. Verify — Check all files created correctly
  6. Commit — C-147: add CYCLE_INDEX and Phase 1 docs skeleton
  7. Push & PR — Ready to merge

For Reviewing

Check these key files in order:

  1. docs/CYCLE_INDEX.md — Is C-121 anchor clear?
  2. docs/00-START-HERE/README.md — Does navigation make sense?
  3. docs/00-START-HERE/GLOSSARY.md — Are terms well-defined?
  4. Each layer README (01-09) — Clear purpose and scope?
  5. docs/99-archive/README.md — Kintsugi philosophy honored?
