## Technical Implementation Details

### ADHD Scoring Algorithm

**Formula:**
```
Overall Score = (
    Visual_Hierarchy * 0.25 +
    Time_Estimates * 0.20 +
    Workflow_Diagrams * 0.20 +
    Mobile_Responsive * 0.15 +
    Content_Density * 0.20
)
```

**Category Calculations:**

**Visual Hierarchy (25%):**
```python
score = (
    (tldr_pages / total_pages) * 40 +      # TL;DR coverage
    (emoji_headings / total_pages) * 30 +  # Visual markers
    (30 if valid_hierarchy else 0)         # H1→H2→H3 structure
)
```

**Time Estimates (20%):**
```python
score = (tutorials_with_time / total_tutorials) * 100
```

**Workflow Diagrams (20%):**
```python
score = (
    (40 if has_diagrams else 0) +          # Diagrams exist
    (60 if no_syntax_errors else 0)        # Quality check
)
```

**Mobile Responsive (15%):**
```python
score = (
    (60 if has_responsive_css else 0) +
    (20 if mermaid_overflow_fixed else 0) +
    (20 if adequate_touch_targets else 0)
)
```

**Content Density (20%):**
```python
score = (
    (1 - dense_paragraphs/total) * 40 +
    (callout_boxes / total_pages) * 60
)
```

### Validation Commands

```bash
# Build validation
cd ~/projects/dev-tools/claude-plugins/craft
mkdocs build --strict

cd ~/projects/dev-tools/aiterm
mkdocs build --strict

# Score analysis
find docs -name "*.md" | wc -l                        # Total pages
grep -r "^> \*\*TL;DR\*\*" docs --include="*.md" | wc -l  # TL;DR count
grep -r "⏱️ \*\*" docs --include="*.md" | wc -l       # Time estimates
grep -c "flowchart" docs/WORKFLOWS.md                 # Diagrams
```

## Lessons Learned

### What Worked Well

1. **TL;DR boxes are high-impact, low-effort**
   - 5-10 minutes per page
   - Immediate UX improvement
   - Users report loving the 30-second summaries

2. **Time estimates are universally appreciated**
   - Simple to calculate (word count + code blocks + steps)
   - 100% tutorial coverage achievable in < 30 minutes
   - Helps users plan their learning sessions

3. **ADHD Quick Start is a game-changer**
   - Under-2-minute path provides instant value
   - Reduces cognitive load for first-time users
   - Clear next steps prevent decision paralysis

4. **Workflow diagrams clarify complex processes**
   - 6 mermaid diagrams took ~2 hours
   - Massive improvement in understanding command relationships
   - Visual learners especially benefit

5. **Scoring algorithm is objective and reproducible**
   - Easy to measure progress
   - Validates enhancement decisions
   - Can be automated

### What to Improve

1. **Mermaid diagrams take longer than expected**
   - Budget 20-30 minutes per diagram
   - Test rendering during creation
   - Keep diagrams focused (5-8 nodes max)

2. **Emoji headings are optional**
   - Didn't implement, still achieved Grade C
   - Save for Phase 3 polish

3. **Prioritize high-traffic pages first**
   - Home, Quick Start, Getting Started are critical
   - Maximize impact per hour invested

### Common Pitfalls Avoided

1. ❌ **Don't add TL;DR to every page**
   - Focus on major pages (5-8 pages)
   - Reference/API docs don't need TL;DR

2. ❌ **Don't guess time estimates**
   - Actually walk through the tutorial
   - Round to nearest minute

3. ❌ **Don't create complex mermaid diagrams**
   - Keep it simple (5-8 nodes)
   - Test early and often
