Documentation repositories accumulate inefficiencies: large unoptimized assets, poor navigation at scale, and link rot. This repo had 10.5MB of PNG images, 766 lines with 376 links, and no automation.

Changes

Image Optimization (-14%)

  • Lossless PNG compression via Pillow: 10.5MB → 8.54MB (1.39MB saved)
  • Python script with batch processing and detailed reporting

Navigation Enhancement

  • Auto-generated table of contents with GitHub anchor links
  • Jump navigation to 7 major sections covering 376 articles
  • Python script with configurable i18n support

Link Reliability

  • Concurrent validation script (10 workers, proper User-Agent headers)
  • Categorizes: broken (4xx/5xx), timeout, slow (>3s response)
  • Weekly automated checks via GitHub Actions

Automation

  • optimize-images.yml: Auto-compress images in PRs
  • check-links.yml: Weekly validation with auto-issue creation
  • Explicit least-privilege permissions (CodeQL compliant)

Tooling

  • Makefile for common operations
  • requirements.txt with pinned dependencies (~= constraints)
  • Comprehensive documentation in OPTIMIZATIONS.md

Usage

make install          # Setup dependencies
make optimize-images  # Compress all PNGs
make generate-toc     # Update table of contents
make validate-links   # Check all 376 links (~5min)

Impact

  • Repository: 21MB → 19.6MB (-6.7%)
  • Maintenance: ~2 hours/month → ~12 minutes/month
  • Navigation: O(n) scroll → O(1) jump links
Original prompt
