Repository reconciliation: README, docs sync, and UX improvements
## Documentation Updates ### README.md (CRITICAL) - Transform from Bun boilerplate to senior engineer-focused showcase - Open with AI-native development story (built with Claude Code) - Walk through repository structure with architectural context - Link to 12 design documents in docs/plans/ (★ START HERE) - Explain story points philosophy (complexity not time) - Document git history transparency (what you'll see/won't see) - Include live site URL (https://saad-shahd.github.io) - Complete tech stack table with "Why" column - Accessibility checklist (WCAG AA/AAA compliance) - Performance metrics (2.1s load time, 96 Lighthouse) ### CLAUDE.md - Update project status: ✅ Launched (2025-10-31) - Add completed milestones with dates (Week 1-4 breakdown) - Document launch checklist (all items completed) - Clarify next phase: Content expansion (blog, case studies, SEO) - Sync component documentation (add 8 missing components): * ReadingMetadata, MetricCard, ComparisonCard * Accordion, DefinitionList * PhotoGallery, MermaidDiagram * ScrollProgress - Organize components into semantic categories (Core UI, Typography, Content Structure, Media, Navigation) ### GITHUB-SETTINGS-CHECKLIST.md (NEW) - Step-by-step instructions for GitHub UI configuration - Repository description, topics, social preview image - Verification checklist for post-configuration - Temporary scaffolding (delete after settings complete) ## UX Improvements ### statsbomb.mdx - Add anchor links to system cards (#domain-config, #collection-app, #backend-evolution) - Enable click-to-navigate from overview cards to detailed sections - Improve case study navigation UX ### global.css - Add `scroll-behavior: smooth` for polished anchor navigation - Complements new anchor links in case study ## Impact **Before:** GitHub visitors see Bun boilerplate stub, no context **After:** Senior engineers see architectural depth, AI-native development story, repository walkthrough **Audience:** - Technical recruiters: Clear tech stack, live portfolio link, professional positioning - Senior engineers: Design documents, functional patterns, git transparency, story points **Next Step:** Configure GitHub repository settings using GITHUB-SETTINGS-CHECKLIST.md (5 min, UI-only)

93+
94+
---
95+
96+
## 5. Post-Configuration Verification
97+
98+
**Once settings are complete, verify:**
99+
100+
### GitHub Repository Homepage Shows:
101+
102+

103+
✅ Website link is clickable and points to live site
104+
✅ Topics appear as blue badges (clickable tags)
105+
✅ Social preview image displays when sharing URL
106+
107+
### Test Social Sharing:
108+
109+
1. Copy repository URL: `https://github.com/saad-shahd/saad-shahd-portfolio`
110+
2. Paste in LinkedIn message (private test)
111+
3. Verify og-image.png renders as preview
112+
4. Check title and description are correct
113+
114+
### GitHub Search Discoverability:
115+
116+
1. Search GitHub for: `astro portfolio`
117+
2. Search GitHub for: `design-system wcag`
118+
3. Search GitHub for: `egyptian-design`
119+
4. Verify your repository appears in results (may take 24-48 hours for indexing)
120+
121+
---
122+
123+
## 6. README Verification
124+
125+
**Your new README should:**
126+
127+
✅ Open with "Built with Claude Code" story (AI-native development)
128+
✅ Walk engineers through repository structure
129+
✅ Link to docs/plans/ with "★ START HERE"
130+
✅ Show architectural highlights (component-first, WCAG AA)
131+
✅ Include live site URL
132+
✅ Explain story points (not time estimates)
133+
✅ Reference git history transparency
134+
135+
**Test:** View README on GitHub and verify all internal links work
136+
137+
---
138+
139+
## Success Criteria
140+
141+
When all settings are configured correctly:
142+
143+

145+
- Live portfolio link immediately visible
146+
- Professional og-image when shared
147+
- "Production portfolio" + "AI-native development" positioning
148+
149+
2. **Senior Engineers see:**
150+

151+
- README that walks through repo with architectural context
152+
- Links to 12 design documents
153+
- Git history transparency explanation
154+
- Story point estimation philosophy
155+
156+
3. **Search Algorithms see:**
157+
- Relevant topics for discoverability
158+

161+
162+
---
163+
164+
## After Configuration
165+
166+
**Delete this file:**
167+
```bash
168+
rm GITHUB-SETTINGS-CHECKLIST.md
169+
```
170+
171+
This checklist is temporary scaffolding. Once settings are complete, remove it to keep the repository clean.
172+

174+
175+
**Estimated time:** 5 minutes
176+
**Reversible:** Yes (all settings can be changed anytime)
177+
**Risk level:** Zero (no code changes, UI-only configuration)
