# Documentation Audit Report
## README Assessment
| Category | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| **Project Description** | ✅ Pass | The README provides a clear and concise description of the project's purpose. |
| **Quick Start** | ✅ Pass | The "Quick Start" section is excellent, offering a Docker command for immediate setup. |
| **Installation** | ✅ Pass | Multiple installation methods are documented (Docker, CLI, source). |
| **Configuration** | ✅ Pass | Configuration is explained with a clear example of a JSON profile. |
| **Examples** | ✅ Pass | The README includes usage examples for Docker, the CLI, and the web component. |
| **Badges** | ✅ Pass | A comprehensive set of badges is present, covering build status, coverage, and versioning. |
**Overall:** The `README.md` is comprehensive and user-friendly.
## Code Documentation
| Category | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| **Function Docs** | ✅ Pass | Public APIs are well-documented with clear explanations. |
| **Parameter Types** | ✅ Pass | Go's static typing ensures parameter types are documented. |
| **Return Values** | ✅ Pass | Return values are documented in the function comments. |
| **Examples** | ❌ Fail | There are no runnable examples in the Go docstrings. |
| **Outdated Docs** | ✅ Pass | The documentation appears to be up-to-date with the code. |
**Overall:** The code is well-documented, but could be improved by adding runnable examples in the docstrings, which would be automatically included in the GoDoc.
## Architecture Documentation
| Category | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| **System Overview** | ✅ Pass | `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` provides a high-level overview of the system. |
| **Data Flow** | ✅ Pass | The architecture document includes a sequence diagram illustrating data flow. |
| **Component Diagram** | ✅ Pass | A Mermaid diagram visually represents the system's components. |
| **Decision Records** | ❌ Fail | There are no Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) present. |
**Overall:** The architecture is well-documented, but would benefit from ADRs to track key decisions.
## Developer Documentation
| Category | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| **Contributing Guide** | ✅ Pass | The `README.md` and `docs/DEVELOPMENT.md` provide clear contribution instructions. |
| **Development Setup** | ✅ Pass | Prerequisites and setup steps are documented. |
| **Testing Guide** | ✅ Pass | The `docs/DEVELOPMENT.md` file explains how to run tests. |
| **Code Style** | 🟠 Partial | A formal code style guide is missing, but `make lint` and `make fmt` are provided. |
**Overall:** Developer documentation is good, but a formal style guide would be a useful addition.
## User Documentation
| Category | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| **User Guide** | ✅ Pass | The MkDocs site serves as a comprehensive user guide. |
| **FAQ** | ❌ Fail | A dedicated FAQ section is missing. |
| **Troubleshooting** | ✅ Pass | A troubleshooting guide is available in the documentation. |
| **Changelog** | ✅ Pass | `CHANGELOG.md` is present and well-maintained. |
**Overall:** User documentation is strong, but could be improved with a FAQ section.
