description: Start a structured review workflow with evidence logging and formatted output
usage: /structured-review [target]

Start Review Workflow

Initializes a structured review workflow using imbue's core methodology: context establishment, scope inventory, evidence capture, and deliverable structuring.

Usage

# Start review of current branch
/structured-review

# Review specific target
/structured-review src/auth/

# Review with specific focus
/structured-review --focus security src/api/

What It Does

1. **Establishes Context**: Confirms repository, branch, and comparison baseline 2. **Inventories Scope**: Lists relevant artifacts for review 3. **Prepares Evidence Log**: Initializes tracking for commands and citations 4. **Structures Deliverables**: Sets up report template with sections

Workflow Integration

This command orchestrates multiple imbue skills:

• `review-core` - Core workflow scaffolding
• `proof-of-work` - Reproducible evidence capture
• `structured-output` - Consistent deliverable formatting
• `diff-analysis` - Change categorization (if diffs involved)

Examples

/structured-review
# Output:
# Review Workflow Initialized
# ===========================
# Repository: my-project
# Branch: feature/auth-overhaul
# Baseline: main (3 commits behind)
#
# Progress items created:
# - [ ] review-core:context-established
# - [ ] review-core:scope-inventoried
# - [ ] review-core:evidence-captured
# - [ ] review-core:deliverables-structured
# - [ ] review-core:findings-verified
# - [ ] review-core:contingencies-documented

/structured-review src/api --focus performance
# Scoped review with performance focus

Output

Creates structured review scaffold with:

• Context summary (repo, branch, baseline)
• Scope inventory (files, configs, specs)
• Evidence log template
• Deliverable outline

Feature Review Mode

When invoked with `--mode feature` or `--features`, structured-review runs a feature-focused review workflow (formerly the standalone `/feature-review` command). This mode discovers, classifies, scores, and suggests features using evidence-based prioritization.

Feature Review Usage

# Full feature review: inventory, score, suggest
/structured-review --mode feature

# Only inventory current features
/structured-review --mode feature --inventory

# Generate new feature suggestions
/structured-review --mode feature --suggest

# Create GitHub issues for accepted suggestions
/structured-review --mode feature --suggest --create-issues

# Validate configuration file
/structured-review --mode feature --validate-config

Feature Review Phases

1. **Discovers** implemented features from codebase (commands, skills, agents, hooks, APIs) 2. **Classifies** features as proactive/reactive and static/dynamic 3. **Scores** features using hybrid RICE+WSJF framework 4. **Analyzes** tradeoffs across quality dimensions (Quality, Latency, Token Usage, Resource Usage, Redundancy, Readability, Scalability, Integration, API Surface) 5. **Suggests** new features based on gaps and opportunities 6. **Creates** GitHub issues for accepted suggestions (with `--create-issues`)

Scoring

Score = (Value Score / Cost Score) * Confidence

**Thresholds:**

• **> 2.5:** High priority (implement soon)
• **1.5 - 2.5:** Medium priority (roadmap)
• **< 1.5:** Low priority (backlog)

Configuration

Create `.feature-review.yaml` in project root to customize scoring weights, classification patterns, tradeoff dimension weights, and GitHub integration settings. See `Skill(imbue:feature-review)` for full configuration reference.

Feature Review Integration

This mode uses:

• `Skill(imbue:feature-review)` - Core scoring and classification
• `Skill(imbue:scope-guard)` - Budget validation for suggestions
• `Skill(imbue:review-core)` - Evidence-based methodology

Exit Criteria

• All progress items from review-core created
• Evidence log initialized with session context
• Deliverable template ready for findings
