Date: November 4, 2025
Status: ✅ Complete
Commits: 2 (767b638, 22557f1)
Summary
Successfully reorganized project documentation from 32 scattered files to a clean, maintainable structure with only 3 essential files in the root directory.
What Was Accomplished
1. Root Directory Cleaned ✅
Before: 32 markdown files
After: 3 essential files
Root directory now contains:
├── README.md # Project overview
├── AGENTS.md # AI agent documentation guidelines
└── CURRENT_STATUS.md # Current project state
2. Archive Created ✅
Created: docs/archive/ with 33 historical documents
Organization:
- All files dated with YYYY-MM-DD prefix
- Organized by session (Nov 3, Nov 4)
- README.md for navigation
- Searchable and well-organized
Contents:
- 16 files from November 3 (investigation & implementation)
- 17 files from November 4 (migrations & upgrades)
3. Learnings Extracted ✅
Created: docs/learnings/ with 3 knowledge documents
Files:
- nix-flakes.md - Nix flake patterns and gotchas
- nostr-sdk.md - nostr-sdk 0.43 migration and patterns
- grasp-audit.md - Audit tool architecture and patterns
Value:
- Reusable knowledge accessible to all
- Organized by topic, not session
- Living documents that evolve
- Include code examples and solutions
4. Guidelines Established ✅
Created: AGENTS.md - Comprehensive documentation guidelines
Covers:
- Documentation structure
- Document lifecycle (working → archive)
- Cleanup process
- Common gotchas (Nix flakes, nostr-sdk, testing)
- Writing guidelines
- AI agent responsibilities
- Quality checklist
Purpose: Prevent documentation sprawl from happening again
5. Current Status Documented ✅
Created: CURRENT_STATUS.md - Single source of truth
Includes:
- Quick summary
- Project structure
- What works
- What's next
- Development workflow
- Key technologies
- Important gotchas
- Recent milestones
- Success metrics
Replaces: Multiple status reports and session summaries

File Counts
| Location | Count | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Root | 3 | Essential project files |
| docs/ | 7 | Permanent documentation |
| docs/learnings/ | 3 | Reusable knowledge |
| docs/archive/ | 33 | Historical records |
| Total | 46 | Well-organized |
Benefits Achieved
✅ Clarity
- Easy to find current information
- Clear entry points for new developers
- Single source of truth (CURRENT_STATUS.md)
✅ Maintainability
- Clear document lifecycle
- Root directory stays clean
- Archive grows but stays organized
✅ Reusability
- Learnings extracted and accessible
- Patterns documented with examples
- Knowledge organized by topic
✅ Onboarding
New developers (human or AI) can:
- Read README.md - understand project
- Read CURRENT_STATUS.md - know current state
- Read AGENTS.md - learn practices
- Read docs/learnings/ - avoid pitfalls
- Reference docs/archive/ - understand history

Documentation Practices Going Forward
Daily Development
Create working docs in root:
- Session notes
- Status updates
- Temporary planning
Keep root clean:
- Max 5-10 working docs
- Archive when complete
- Extract learnings first
Weekly Cleanup
Trigger: Root has >10 markdown files
Process:
- Review completed docs
- Extract learnings to
docs/learnings/ - Archive to
docs/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-topic.md - Delete obsolete duplicates
- Update
CURRENT_STATUS.md - Commit changes
Follow AGENTS.md
Guidelines for:
- When to create documents
- Where to put documents
- How to name documents
- When to archive
- How to extract learnings
Next Steps
With documentation cleaned up, we're ready to:
1. Build NIP-01 Relay ✅ Ready
Create:
src/
├── main.rs
├── config.rs
├── nostr/
│ ├── mod.rs
│ ├── relay.rs
│ └── events.rs
└── storage/
├── mod.rs
└── repository.rs
Goal: Pass grasp-audit NIP-01 smoke tests
2. Test with grasp-audit ✅ Ready
# Start ngit-grasp
cargo run
# Test with audit tool
cd grasp-audit
cargo run -- audit --relay ws://localhost:8080
Target: 6/6 smoke tests passing
3. Build GRASP-01 Compliance
After NIP-01 works:
- Extend grasp-audit with GRASP-01 tests
- Implement in ngit-grasp
- Iterate until passing
