Information architecture for a site or app

Your site or app has grown and the navigation is a mess. You need to figure out what goes where.

Works best in: Claude

Help me design the information architecture for {{site or app}}. I'll describe what's in it and the audience.

Content / features:
{{paste a list of all the pages, features, sections, articles}}

Audience and their goals:
- Primary user: {{who, what they want}}
- Secondary user: {{who, what they want}}
- One-time visitor: {{their likely intent}}

Output:
1. **The top-level structure** — 3-7 main sections (more than 7 is too many)
2. **What goes in each** — categorize the content list above
3. **The cross-links** — content that lives in one section but should be discoverable from another
4. **What I should consolidate** — pages or features that are too thin to deserve their own home
5. **What I should split** — pages that are doing too much
6. **The nav order** — left to right or top to bottom, ranked by importance
7. **Mobile compromises** — what the nav becomes on small screens
