# Kaizen Specialist Update - SDK Users Focus Complete

**Date**: 2025-10-05
**Task**: Update kaizen-specialist.md to focus on SDK USERS (not framework developers)
**Objective**: Ensure all referenced documentation exists in `sdk-users/apps/kaizen/`

---

## 🎯 Problem Identified

**User Feedback:**
> "kaizen-specialist should focus on using kaizen, instead of including developing kaizen. Those important docs referencing in kaizen-specialist, if there are no equivalent in sdk-users/apps/kaizen, should then be populated in the latter."

**Critical Issue:**
- kaizen-specialist.md referenced `apps/kailash-kaizen/docs/` (framework development)
- SDK users ONLY have access to `sdk-users/apps/kaizen/` (user documentation)
- Missing critical guides in sdk-users that specialist referenced

---

## ✅ Actions Completed

### 1. Created Essential SDK User Guides

Created 4 critical guides in `sdk-users/apps/kaizen/docs/`:

#### A. Multi-Modal API Reference (245 lines)
**Location**: `sdk-users/apps/kaizen/docs/reference/multi-modal-api-reference.md`

**Content:**
- Vision API (Ollama + OpenAI)
- Audio API (Whisper)
- Complete API signatures
- Common pitfalls (question vs prompt, answer vs response)
- Configuration reference
- Performance characteristics
- Testing patterns

**Why Critical:** Most common errors are multi-modal API mistakes

#### B. Quickstart Guide (332 lines)
**Location**: `sdk-users/apps/kaizen/docs/getting-started/quickstart.md`

**Content:**
- Installation (2 methods)
- API key setup
- First agent (3 steps)
- Common agent patterns (Q&A, memory, vision, chain-of-thought)
- Configuration options
- Available agents (8 specialized)
- Common issues (3 critical)
- Next steps

**Why Critical:** Every SDK user starts here

#### C. Troubleshooting Guide (567 lines)
**Location**: `sdk-users/apps/kaizen/docs/reference/troubleshooting.md`

**Content:**
- API key issues (missing, invalid)
- Multi-modal issues (wrong API, Ollama connection, missing model, file not found)
- Audio issues (format not supported)
- Import issues (wrong path, module not found)
- Configuration issues (invalid config, BaseAgentConfig misuse)
- Memory issues (session ID not working)
- Network issues (timeout, rate limit)
- Integration issues (DataFlow, Nexus)
- Performance issues (slow execution, high memory)
- Testing issues (tests failing)
- Debug mode

**Why Critical:** Reduces support burden, speeds up problem resolution

#### D. Integration Patterns Guide (485 lines)
**Location**: `sdk-users/apps/kaizen/docs/guides/integration-patterns.md`

**Content:**
- DataFlow integration (basic + advanced + multi-modal)
- Nexus integration (basic + multiple agents + combined)
- MCP integration (expose as tool + consume tools)
- Core SDK integration (agent as node + multi-step)
- Best practices (separation of concerns, error handling, config management, testing)
- Complete examples

**Why Critical:** Most production use cases involve integration

### 2. Updated kaizen-specialist.md

**Changes Made:**

#### Before (Framework Development Focus):
```markdown
### Primary References
- **[docs/CLAUDE.md](../apps/kailash-kaizen/docs/CLAUDE.md)** - Internal framework docs
- **[Multi-Modal API](../apps/kailash-kaizen/docs/reference/multi-modal-api-reference.md)** - Framework docs

### By Use Case
| Getting started | `docs/getting-started/quickstart.md` |
| Multi-modal | `docs/reference/multi-modal-api-reference.md` |
| MCP integration | `docs/integrations/mcp/README.md` |
| DataFlow patterns | `docs/integrations/dataflow/best-practices.md` |
| Architecture decisions | `docs/architecture/adr/README.md` |
```

#### After (SDK User Focus):
```markdown
### Primary References (SDK Users)
- **[CLAUDE.md](../sdk-users/apps/kaizen/CLAUDE.md)** - Quick reference for using Kaizen
- **[README.md](../sdk-users/apps/kaizen/README.md)** - Complete Kaizen user guide
- **[Multi-Modal API](../sdk-users/apps/kaizen/docs/reference/multi-modal-api-reference.md)** - Vision, audio APIs

### By Use Case
| Getting started | `sdk-users/apps/kaizen/docs/getting-started/quickstart.md` |
| Multi-modal (vision/audio) | `sdk-users/apps/kaizen/docs/reference/multi-modal-api-reference.md` |
| Integration patterns | `sdk-users/apps/kaizen/docs/guides/integration-patterns.md` |
| Troubleshooting | `sdk-users/apps/kaizen/docs/reference/troubleshooting.md` |
| Complete guide | `sdk-users/apps/kaizen/README.md` |
| Working examples | `apps/kailash-kaizen/examples/` |
```

**Key Improvements:**
- ❌ Removed: Framework development docs (ADRs, testing strategy, deployment)
- ✅ Added: SDK user guides (quickstart, troubleshooting, integration patterns)
- ✅ All paths now point to `sdk-users/apps/kaizen/`
- ✅ Kept examples in main repo (users install package, examples are for reference)

---

## 📊 Documentation Coverage

### SDK Users Now Have:

**Core Documentation:**
- ✅ CLAUDE.md (415 lines) - Quick reference
- ✅ README.md (731 lines) - Complete guide

**Getting Started:**
- ✅ quickstart.md (332 lines) - 5-minute tutorial
