docs: add cross-links between related documentation pages #936

Closed

Description

Gap

Docs pages are siloed with no cross-references. Users can't discover related features or understand how concepts connect. This makes the docs harder to navigate and reduces user confidence in the platform's capabilities.

Existing Docs Pages

High-Level Pages

  • docs/src/content/docs/guide.md — Main guide entry point
  • docs/src/content/docs/whatsnew.md — Changelog/release notes
  • docs/src/content/docs/tips-and-tricks.md — Best practices
  • docs/src/content/docs/community.md — Community resources
  • docs/src/content/docs/sdk-first-mode.md — SDK-first development mode
  • docs/src/content/docs/insider-program.md — Insider program
  • docs/src/content/docs/sample-prompts.md — Sample prompts

Get Started (Onboarding)

  • docs/src/content/docs/get-started/ — Directory with setup/intro

Features

  • docs/src/content/docs/features/ — Feature overviews and guides

Concepts

  • docs/src/content/docs/concepts/ — Core concepts (agent, coordinator, ceremonies, pluggable interfaces, etc.)

Reference

  • docs/src/content/docs/reference/ — Detailed API/config reference

Cookbook

  • docs/src/content/docs/cookbook/ — How-to guides and examples

Guide (Deep Dives)

  • docs/src/content/docs/guide/ — Extended guides (coordination patterns, performance, etc.)

Scenarios

  • docs/src/content/docs/scenarios/ — Real-world use case walkthroughs

Tours

  • docs/src/content/docs/tour-first-session.md — Guided first session
  • docs/src/content/docs/tour-github-issues.md — GitHub issues workflow tour
  • docs/src/content/docs/tour-gitlab-issues.md — GitLab issues workflow tour

Cross-Link Mapping

Priority 1: Foundational Links (High Traffic)

Source Page Target Page(s) Link Type Context
get-started/ concepts/agent.md "Learn more" Explain what agents are right after intro
get-started/ concepts/coordinator.md "Learn more" Explain coordinator role early
get-started/ guide/coordination-patterns.md "Next steps" Direct to intermediate topics
concepts/agent.md concepts/coordinator.md "See also" Bidirectional: agents work within coordinator
concepts/coordinator.md concepts/agent.md "See also" Bidirectional
concepts/coordinator.md reference/coordinator-restraint.md "Detailed rules" Link from concept to reference
concepts/coordinator.md reference/compaction-recovery.md "Detailed rules" Link from concept to reference
features/ guide/ "Deep dive" From feature overview to detailed guide
reference/pluggable-interfaces.md reference/ceremony.md "Powered by" Pluggable interfaces underpin ceremonies
reference/ceremony.md reference/pluggable-interfaces.md "Uses" Ceremonies implement pluggable patterns

Priority 2: Workflow Links (Task-Oriented)

Source Page Target Page(s) Link Type Context
cookbook/ scenarios/ "See also" Similar but different approaches
tour-github-issues.md tour-gitlab-issues.md "Alternative workflow" Show other platform workflows
guide/coordination-patterns.md cookbook/ "Examples" Link detailed patterns to practical examples
guide/performance-tuning.md reference/ "Details" Performance guide links to config reference
tips-and-tricks.md guide/, cookbook/ "Related topics" Tips reference deeper content

Priority 3: Cross-Domain Links (Platform Concepts)

Source Page Target Page(s) Link Type Context
reference/result-persistence.md reference/orchestration-log.md "Related" Result persistence uses orchestration log
reference/orchestration-log.md reference/result-persistence.md "Related" Orchestration log stores persisted results
features/mcp-integration.md reference/mcp-config.md "Setup guide" Feature page links to config reference
whatsnew.md concepts/, features/ "New concepts/features" Changelog explains what's new
sdk-first-mode.md reference/sdk-api.md "API reference" SDK guide links to detailed API

Implementation: See Also Sections

Format for all pages:
At the end of each page, add a "See Also" section:

## See Also
- [Agents](../concepts/agent.md) — Learn about agent roles and charters
- [Coordination Patterns](../guide/coordination-patterns.md) — Deep dive into coordinator strategies
- [Pluggable Interfaces](../reference/pluggable-interfaces.md) — Extend Squad with custom tools

Acceptance Criteria

  • Add "See Also" sections to all concept pages (bidirectional links between coordinator ↔ agent, etc.)
  • Add "See Also" sections to all reference pages (link related config, API, and ceremony docs)
  • Add "See Also" sections to all guide pages (link to cookbook examples and related guides)
  • Add "See Also" sections to all feature pages (link to setup/reference docs)
  • Test that all internal links resolve correctly (docs build succeeds)
  • Cross-verify no orphaned pages (every page is linked from at least one other page, except index)
  • Link table above is used as a basis for implementation (can be expanded as needed)

    ⚠️ Needs refinement

    Too vague; needs specifics:

    • Which pages need cross-links? List them (e.g., 'Link skills.md ↔ interfaces.md')
    • 'Pluggable interfaces' unclear—are these code docs or user guides?
    • 'Ceremony docs' mentioned but not defined

    Suggest: Add a table or list mapping which docs should link to which, with link types (related, see-also, prerequisite).
