# Task: Create MkDocs Skeleton and CI/CD Pipeline

## Description

Set up the MkDocs project foundation with configuration, dependency file, GitHub Actions workflow, and placeholder pages for all sections.

## Acceptance Criteria

- [x] `mkdocs.yml` created with Material theme, red/amber colors, light/dark toggle, nav structure
- [x] `docs/requirements.txt` created with 3 dependencies (mkdocs, mkdocs-material, pymdown-extensions)
- [x] `.github/workflows/docs.yml` created with build + deploy jobs
- [x] `docs/index.md` homepage created with project overview
- [x] All section `index.md` files created as placeholders (getting-started, tools, cli, focus-areas, development)
- [x] `docs/troubleshooting.md` placeholder created
- [x] `mkdocs build` succeeds locally with no errors
- [x] `site/` added to `.gitignore`

## Implementation Details

Used configurations from the review report at `.claude/reviews/TASK-DOC-FCD8-review-report.md`.

### Files Created

1. `mkdocs.yml` - Full configuration with Material theme, red/amber colors, light/dark toggle
2. `docs/requirements.txt` - 3 dependencies (mkdocs, mkdocs-material, pymdown-extensions)
3. `.github/workflows/docs.yml` - GitHub Actions workflow with build + deploy jobs
4. `docs/index.md` - Homepage with features, quick example, Mermaid architecture diagram
5. `docs/getting-started/index.md` - Getting Started section placeholder
6. `docs/tools/index.md` - MCP Tools overview with tools table
7. `docs/cli/index.md` - CLI Guide placeholder with commands table
8. `docs/focus-areas/index.md` - Focus Areas overview with presets table
9. `docs/development/index.md` - Development guide placeholder
10. `docs/troubleshooting.md` - Troubleshooting with common issues and FAQ

### Files Modified

1. `.gitignore` - Added `site/` entry

### Notes

- Fixed `pymdownx.superfences.fence_mermaid` (removed in newer pymdownx) to `fence_code_format`
- Nav references Wave 2-3 pages (not yet created) - warnings expected with `strict: false`
- Existing `docs/` content (ADRs, features, research) coexists but is not in nav

## Test Execution Log

```
Build: mkdocs build - SUCCESS (1.88 seconds)
Warnings: 26 (expected - reference future Wave 2-3 pages)
Errors: 0
```
