Summary

Adds strategic planning documents to docs/plans/ to guide technical debt reduction and issue management.

New Documentation Files

1. Quick Reference (docs/plans/bash-it-quick-reference.md)

TL;DR summary for maintainers:

  • ✅ 5 quick win bugs ready to fix (~4 hours work)
  • 🤔 6 strategic decisions needed
  • 🗑️ 18 stale issues recommended for closure
  • 📋 Clear next steps and priorities

2. Comprehensive Issue Analysis (docs/plans/bash-it-issues-comprehensive-analysis.md)

Detailed breakdown of all 32 open issues:

  • Categorizes each issue (Quick Wins, Decision Required, Stale, Roadmap)
  • Provides effort estimates and dependencies
  • Recommends specific actions for each issue
  • Includes issue closure templates

3. 2025 Roadmap (docs/plans/bash-it-roadmap-2025.md)

6-month technical debt reduction plan:

  • Phase 1: Quick wins sprint (5 bugs, Week 1-2)
  • Phase 2: Issue gardening (close stale, Week 3-4)
  • Phase 3: Strategic decisions (Month 2)
  • Phase 4-7: Pre-commit expansion, docs, testing, packaging
  • Success metrics and KPIs by timeframe
  • Risk management and resource planning

Key Findings

📊 Current State:

  • 32 open issues (78% are 2+ years old)
  • ~50 files in clean_files.txt (~15% coverage)
  • 5 bugs with clear fixes available

🎯 Potential Impact:

  • Fix 5 bugs in ~4 hours
  • Close 18 stale issues → reduce to ~10 open
  • Reach 80% pre-commit coverage in 3 months
  • Establish clear project direction

CLAUDE.md Updates

Added "Project Planning & Roadmaps" section linking to all three documents, making strategic direction visible to AI assistants working on the project.

Use Cases

These documents help:

  • Maintainers: Prioritize work, make informed decisions
  • Contributors: Find good first issues, understand project direction
  • AI Assistants: Understand project context and priorities
  • Community: See project health and roadmap transparency

Next Steps

After review:

  1. Maintainers can approve quick win fixes
  2. Make strategic decisions on issues needing direction
  3. Begin executing Phase 1 of roadmap
  4. Update docs quarterly as progress is made
