# SCRIPT_DEPENDENCY_GRAPH.md Split Plan

**Last Updated:** 2026-01-20

## Overview

Plan for optimizing the 112KB `SCRIPT_DEPENDENCY_GRAPH.md` file for better navigation and maintainability.

## Current Structure

**File:** `docs/seo-strategy-2026/scripts/SCRIPT_DEPENDENCY_GRAPH.md`
- **Size:** 112KB
- **Lines:** ~2,000+ (estimated)
- **Structure:** Dependency graph documentation for scripts

## Analysis Needed

Before creating a split plan, we need to:
1. Analyze the file structure (H1/H2/H3 headings)
2. Identify logical grouping patterns (by script type, directory, or functionality)
3. Determine if it's a single large graph or multiple graphs
4. Check if it can be split by script categories

## Potential Split Strategies

### Option 1: By Script Type
If scripts are organized by type (Python, PHP, JavaScript, Shell):
- `python-scripts-dependencies.md`
- `php-scripts-dependencies.md`
- `javascript-scripts-dependencies.md`
- `shell-scripts-dependencies.md`

### Option 2: By Directory/Module
If scripts are organized by directory structure:
- `data-collection-scripts.md`
- `analysis-scripts.md`
- `automation-scripts.md`
- etc.

### Option 3: By Functionality
If scripts are grouped by purpose:
- `data-collection-dependencies.md`
- `analysis-dependencies.md`
- `reporting-dependencies.md`
- etc.

### Option 4: Keep as Single File
If the file is a single interconnected graph that doesn't split well:
- Optimize formatting
- Add better navigation/index
- Improve readability without splitting

## Implementation Steps

### Phase 1: Analysis
1. Read and analyze file structure
2. Identify patterns and grouping opportunities
3. Determine best split strategy
4. Create detailed split plan

### Phase 2: Implementation
1. Create directory structure if needed
2. Split content according to chosen strategy
3. Create index/navigation file
4. Update cross-references

### Phase 3: Validation
1. Verify all links work
2. Check file sizes (<100KB each)
3. Test navigation
4. Update documentation references

## File Size Targets

- **Main index:** <10KB
- **Section files:** <50KB each
- **Total:** Optimize to manageable sizes

2. **This Week:** Determine split strategy and implement
3. **This Month:** Complete optimization and update references
