Documentation Status Update

✅ Completed Documentation

• mdBook documentation site: Comprehensive docs available at GitHub Pages
• Installation guide: Multiple methods documented (cargo, binaries, Docker)
• Quick start tutorial: Getting started guide with examples
• Profile configuration: Complete guide with examples
• Environment variables: Full reference documentation
• Command reference: Basic documentation for all commands
• Troubleshooting guide: Common issues and solutions
• Output formats: JSON, YAML, table, JMESPath filtering

📝 Still Needed

• Workflow guides: Step-by-step guides for complex operations
• API library usage: Examples of using redis-cloud and redis-enterprise as libraries
• Architecture documentation: Internal architecture for contributors
• Migration guides: Moving between Cloud and Enterprise
• Video tutorials: Quick screencasts for common tasks

📚 Documentation Locations

• Main docs: directory (mdBook)
• API docs: https://docs.rs/redisctl
• README: Comprehensive getting started
• CONTRIBUTING.md: Developer guide

Most core documentation is complete. The main gaps are advanced workflow guides and library usage examples.

Closing as comprehensive documentation is now in place: mdBook user docs, README, inline rustdoc for libraries, and CLAUDE.md for development. Documentation improvements will be tracked as individual issues as needed.
