User needs to understand how the portfolio website is implemented. Created comprehensive technical documentation covering architecture, components, and customization.

Documentation Structure

  • DOCS_INDEX.md - Navigation hub with 4 learning paths (Editor/Designer/Developer/Maintainer)
  • QUICK_START.md - 5-min overview, common changes with line numbers, local dev setup
  • IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md - Full technical guide: architecture, tech stack, ASCII animation math, customization, deployment
  • ARCHITECTURE.md - Visual diagrams: component hierarchy, data flow, layer stack, responsive grid
  • README.md - Updated with doc links

Coverage

Dual Architecture

  • Modern: Single-page HTML with Tailwind CSS, Canvas API animation
  • Legacy: Jekyll with YAML data files and Liquid templates

Key Components Documented

  • ASCII torus animation (3D math, projection, z-buffer, luminance mapping)
  • Bento grid layout (12-col responsive system)
  • Color system and design patterns
  • Component hierarchy and data flow

Practical Guides

  • Content updates: specific line numbers for name, email, projects, publications
  • Design customization: colors, fonts, animation parameters
  • Troubleshooting common issues

Entry Points by Goal

Quick edits     → QUICK_START.md (15 min)
Design changes  → ARCHITECTURE.md + customization sections (45 min)  
Full understanding → All docs, IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md first (2 hours)

Total: 2,003 lines, 50+ code examples, 12+ diagrams.
