## 🚧 Risks & Mitigations

### Risk 1: Content Maintenance Burden

**Risk:** Documentation falls out of sync with code
**Mitigation:**
- Auto-generate skill docs from SKILL.md files
- CI/CD checks for doc updates on skill changes
- Quarterly doc review scheduled

### Risk 2: Search Quality

**Risk:** Algolia search doesn't find relevant results
**Mitigation:**
- Careful keyword selection
- Regular search query analysis
- Fallback to local search if needed

### Risk 3: Performance Issues

**Risk:** Site becomes slow with more content
**Mitigation:**
- Static site generation (VitePress)
- Image optimization pipeline
- Lazy loading for heavy components
- CDN (Vercel)

### Risk 4: Low Adoption

**Risk:** Users don't discover the docs
**Mitigation:**
- Promote on GitHub README
- Share in Claude Code community
- SEO optimization
- Social media announcement
