+# Git History Cleanup Plan
+
+## Current State
+
+- `.git` size: **119 MB**
+- Total blobs in history: 129 MB across 1,777 files
+- Large files (>500KB): 72 files totaling **97 MB**
+
+### Breakdown by Category
+
+| Category | Files | Size | Status |
+|----------|-------|------|--------|
+| `src/data/common-slides/` | 20 | 25 MB | Deleted from repo |
+| `public/images/swag/*.png/*.jpg` | 15 | 24 MB | Deleted (kept WebP only) |
+| `src/assets/images/` | 28 | 39 MB | Optimized (old versions) |
+| `public/images/` (other) | 24 | 33 MB | Optimized/deleted |
+
+---
+
+## Tiered Approach
+
+### Tier 1: Analysis Only (Safe)
+**Risk: None** | **Savings: 0**
+
+- [x] Analyze git history for large blobs
+- [x] Categorize files by directory/type
+- [x] Document current state
+- [ ] Install `git-filter-repo` if not present
+- [ ] Create backup of repo before any changes
+
+### Tier 2: Remove Deleted Directories
+**Risk: Low** | **Estimated Savings: ~25 MB**
+
+Remove files from directories that no longer exist in the repo:
+```
+src/data/common-slides/     # 20 files, 25 MB
+src/data/no-solutions-transcripts/  # if present
+```
+
+**Command:**
+```bash
+git filter-repo --path src/data/common-slides/ --invert-paths
+git filter-repo --path src/data/no-solutions-transcripts/ --invert-paths
+```
+
+### Tier 3: Remove Old Swag Formats
+**Risk: Low-Medium** | **Estimated Savings: ~24 MB**
+
+Remove PNG/JPG versions of swag images (WebP versions retained):
+```
+public/images/swag/*.png
+public/images/swag/*.jpg
+```
+
+**Command:**
+```bash
+git filter-repo --path-glob 'public/images/swag/*.png' --invert-paths
+git filter-repo --path-glob 'public/images/swag/*.jpg' --invert-paths
+```
+
+### Tier 4: Remove Old Image Versions
+**Risk: Medium** | **Estimated Savings: ~50-70 MB**
+
+Remove historical versions of images we optimized:
+- Old `flowers.jpg` (4.9 MB → 571 KB)
+- Old `tenex-logo.png` (1.8 MB → 69 KB WebP)
+- Old avatars, etc.
+
+**Approach:** Use `--strip-blobs-bigger-than 1M` or targeted path removal
+
+**Command (aggressive):**
+```bash
+git filter-repo --strip-blobs-bigger-than 500K
+```
+
+**Command (targeted):**
+```bash
+# List of specific files to remove old versions
+git filter-repo --path public/images/showcase/tenex-logo.png --invert-paths
+git filter-repo --path public/images/tim-bouma-avatar.png --invert-paths
+# ... etc
+```
+
+---
+
+## Execution Plan
+
+### Prerequisites
+```bash
+# Install git-filter-repo
+pip install git-filter-repo
+# OR
+sudo apt install git-filter-repo
+
+# Create full backup
+cd ..
+cp -r website website-backup-$(date +%Y%m%d)
+```
+
+### Execution Order
+1. Create dedicated branch for tracking (documentation only)
+2. Execute Tier 2 (deleted directories)
+3. Verify repo integrity: `git fsck && bun build`
+4. Execute Tier 3 (old swag formats)
+5. Verify again
+6. Execute Tier 4 (old image versions) - optional
+7. Final verification
+8. Force push to remote
+9. All collaborators must re-clone
+
+### Post-Cleanup
+```bash
+# Verify new size
+du -sh .git
+
+# Run garbage collection
+git gc --aggressive --prune=now
+
+# Force push (DESTRUCTIVE - coordinates with team first!)
+git push --force --all
+git push --force --tags
+```
+
+---
+
+## Warnings
+
+⚠️ **Force push required** - All collaborators must re-clone after cleanup
+
+⚠️ **Backup first** - Create full backup before any filter-repo commands
+
+⚠️ **One-way operation** - History rewriting cannot be undone easily
+
+⚠️ **PR/Issues** - Open PRs will be invalidated by history rewrite
+
+---
+
+## Expected Results
+
+| Tier | Cumulative .git Size | Reduction |
+|------|---------------------|-----------|
+| Current | 119 MB | - |
+| After Tier 2 | ~95 MB | ~24 MB |
+| After Tier 3 | ~70 MB | ~49 MB |
+| After Tier 4 | ~40-50 MB | ~70-80 MB |
+
+---
+
+## Rollback
+
+If something goes wrong:
+```bash
+# Restore from backup
+rm -rf website
+cp -r website-backup-YYYYMMDD website
+```
