4. **Run Validation** - After creating documentation
5. **Update Cross-References** - Add related documentation and rules

### Maintenance Tasks

**Monthly:**

- Run validation scripts
- Check for broken links
- Review new documentation

**Quarterly:**

- Review and update dates
- Check for outdated content
- Archive completed projects

**Annually:**

- Review templates
- Update standards if needed
- Major documentation audit

### Estimated Remaining Effort
