🎯 Problem Analysis
The main CLAUDE.md is at ~24,660 tokens - approaching the 32k limit and causing slow context loading.
Content Breakdown (Root CLAUDE.md):
- ~35% - Kontask documentation (UI components, templates, SDK) - ~8,600 tokens
- ~20% - Dashboard Console & WebSocket docs - ~4,900 tokens
- ~15% - Mermaid.js diagrams & examples - ~3,700 tokens
- ~12% - Core platform info (services, testing) - ~2,960 tokens
- ~10% - Account management docs - ~2,460 tokens
- ~8% - Git/deployment/misc - ~2,040 tokens
📋 Refactoring Strategy
✓ PRESERVE (Critical for Konui)
- All kontask UI templates & HTML examples
- Kontask API SDK (L1, L2, L3)
- Interactive components (Mermaid, Chart, Timeline, etc.)
- Dark theme color palette
- Button styling & choices format
→ EXTRACT to Separate Reference Files
| Content | New File | ~Tokens Saved |
|---|---|---|
| Mermaid.js diagram examples | MERMAID-GUIDE.md |
~2,800 |
| Dashboard Console internals | gv/docs/gvConnectionDesign.md (exists) |
~3,500 |
| StatusLine Hook (inactive) | Remove entirely (already in collapsible) | ~600 |
| Account management details | Move to konsole/CLAUDE.md |
~2,000 |
| Future Architecture (konjournal/kontext) | Move to ROADMAP.md |
~1,200 |
| Stability/Regression Audit details | Link only (files already exist) | ~800 |
| Duplicate UI content (in both root & konui) | Keep in konui only, reference from root | ~4,000 |
Total potential savings: ~14,900 tokens
📁 Proposed File Structure
/konnectvol/ ├── CLAUDE.md # Core: ~12,000 tokens (platform overview) ├── KONTASK-GUIDE.md # UI templates, SDK, examples ├── MERMAID-GUIDE.md # Diagram syntax & examples ├── ROADMAP.md # Future architecture (konjournal/kontext) ├── konui/ │ └── CLAUDE.md # Konui-specific: templates, console ├── konsole/ │ └── CLAUDE.md # +account management moved here └── gv/docs/ └── gvConnectionDesign.md # Already exists
✅ Expected Results
| File | Before | After | Reduction |
|---|---|---|---|
| CLAUDE.md (root) | ~24,660 | ~12,000 | -51% |
| konui/CLAUDE.md | ~10,284 | ~8,000 | -22% |
| konsole/CLAUDE.md | ~3,436 | ~5,000 | +45% (moved account mgmt) |
⚠️ Key Constraints
- DO NOT REMOVE: Kontask UI templates, HTML examples, dark theme specs, SDK docs
- DO NOT MODIFY: HTML template syntax, CSS color values, JavaScript patterns
- SAFE TO EXTRACT: Verbose examples, internal architecture docs, audit details
- SAFE TO CONSOLIDATE: Duplicate content between root & service CLAUDE.md files
