## Proposed Documentation Structure

### Current Structure (Adequate)

```
docs/
├── getting-started/      ✓ Good coverage
├── architecture/         ⚠ Needs updates
├── reference/            ✓ CLI ref good, API ref outdated
├── deployment/           ⚠ Incomplete
├── benchmarks/           ✓ Comprehensive
├── operations/           ⚠ Minimal
├── integrations/         ✓ Good coverage
├── research/             ⚠ Academic focus
└── archive/              ℹ Historical reference
```

### Proposed Enhanced Structure:

-74 test files covering major components

- Tests for: policies, memory, coordination, models, benchmarks, CLI
- Vitest configuration with coverage thresholds (50%)

### Gaps

1. **Browser module** - Minimal test coverage
2. **MCP router** - Only output-compressor tested
3. **Dashboard** - Server and event-stream not tested
4. **Telemetry** - Session telemetry untested
5. **Benchmarks** - Agent implementations not tested

### Recommendations

1. Add JSDoc to test files for clarity
2. Create integration test suite
3. Document test coverage requirements
4. Add performance test benchmarks

## Conclusion

The UAP project has **solid foundational documentation** with comprehensive CLI references and good architectural overviews. However, there are significant gaps in:

1. code documentation (JSDoc)
2. Module-level documentation for internal components
3. Accurate database schemas
4. Configuration schema completeness
5. Hook system implementation details

**Priority Ranking:**

- **Must-Have**: JSDoc, CLI completeness, config schema, DB schemas, hook docs
  - Architecture diagrams, pattern library, coordination flows, policy workflows, testing docs
- **Nice-to-Have**: Video tutorials, interactive examples, contribution guide, API generation
- Critical fixes: 2-3 weeks
- High priority: 4-6 weeks
- Medium priority: 8-12 weeks

The documentation quality is sufficient for current users but needs improvement to support new contributors and maintain long-term project health.
