tegwick c5f49b2dd0 feat: implement todofile system and retire NEXT.md
Replace NEXT.md approach with standardized Keep a Todofile V0.0.1 format
for better task management and human-AI collaboration during coding sessions.

## Todofile System Setup:
- **TODO.md**: Main todofile following Keep a Todofile V0.0.1 format
- **TODOFILE_GUIDE.md**: Comprehensive system documentation and workflow
- **Integration**: Fully integrated with existing kaizen-agentic framework
- **Agent Support**: Uses agent-keepaTodofile for maintenance

## Content Migration:
- Migrated strategic priorities from NEXT.md to TODO.md [Unreleased] section
- Preserved session success criteria and development milestones
- Organized tasks by impact type (To Add, To Fix, To Refactor)
- Archived NEXT.md to history/NEXT_archived_20251025.md

## Documentation Updates:
- README.md: Updated "Next Actions" → "Current Tasks" link
- agent-project-management.md: Updated workflow to use TODO.md
- docs/README.md: Updated project management references
- Added comprehensive TODOFILE_GUIDE.md

## Benefits:
- **Standardized Format**: Industry-standard Keep a Todofile format
- **Better Organization**: Impact-based task categorization
- **AI-Ready**: Designed for human-AI collaboration workflows
- **Context Preservation**: Maintains coding flow across session interruptions
- **Integration Ready**: Works with existing agent and capability systems

Active tasks now in TODO.md [Unreleased] section focusing on strategic
issue resolution and capability management validation.

# MarkiTect Documentation
Welcome to the MarkiTect documentation. This directory contains comprehensive documentation for developers, users, and contributors.
## Documentation Structure
### 📐 Architecture Documentation (`architecture/`)
Deep technical documentation about system design, performance, and implementation details.
- **[Caching System](architecture/caching-system.md)** - Why and how MarkiTect's AST caching delivers 60-85% performance improvements
- *Coming soon: Database Schema, CLI Architecture, Plugin System*
### 👥 User Guides (`user-guides/`)
End-user documentation for working with MarkiTect CLI and features.
- *Coming soon: Getting Started, Command Reference, Best Practices*
### 🔧 Development Documentation (`development/`)
Documentation for contributors and developers extending MarkiTect.
- *Coming soon: Contributing Guide, Testing Strategy, Release Process*
## Quick Links
### For Users
- [Installation & Setup](../README.md#getting-started)
- [Command Reference](user-guides/command-reference.md) *(coming soon)*
- [Performance Guide](user-guides/performance-guide.md) *(coming soon)*
### For Developers
- [Architecture Overview](architecture/) - System design and component relationships
- [Development Setup](development/) - Local development environment
- [API Documentation](development/api-reference.md) *(coming soon)*
### Project Management
- [Project Status](../history/ProjectStatusDigest.md) - Current development status
- [Roadmap](../history/ROADMAP.md) - Strategic development plan
- [Current Tasks](../TODO.md) - Task management using Keep a Todofile format
## Key Concepts
### Core Architecture Principles
1. **Parse Once, Use Many Times** - AST caching for 60-85% performance improvement
2. **Convention Over Configuration** - Sensible defaults with minimal setup
3. **Schema-Driven Processing** - Structured markdown with validation
4. **Relational Metadata** - Database-powered document relationships
### Performance Philosophy
MarkiTect treats markdown documents as **structured, queryable data** rather than plain text. This approach enables:
- Lightning-fast document processing through intelligent caching
- Complex querying and relationship management
- Schema validation and consistency enforcement
- Scalable performance that grows with your content
## Contributing to Documentation
Documentation follows the same quality standards as code:
1. **Clear Structure** - Logical organization and navigation
2. **Practical Examples** - Real-world usage patterns
3. **Performance Context** - Why architectural decisions matter
4. **User-Focused** - Written for the intended audience
### Documentation Standards
- Use clear, concise language
- Include practical examples
- Explain the "why" behind design decisions
- Keep technical accuracy as the highest priority
- Update docs when changing functionality
