User Input

$ARGUMENTS

You MUST consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).

Goal

Run a BuildBetter-enriched review for the current feature with one of these modes:

• usability: user-story walkthrough and UX validation
• code: implementation/code quality review
• both (default): run both

This command is BuildBetter-first: prioritize buildbetter-context.md, buildbetter-context.json, and user-stories.md as review evidence when available.

Execution Flow

1. Initialize context

   • Locate the current feature directory and verify available documents.
   • Required docs: spec.md, plan.md, tasks.md.
   • BuildBetter docs: buildbetter-context.md, buildbetter-context.json, user-stories.md (optional but preferred).
   • If required docs are missing: stop and instruct the user to run the missing prerequisite skill (e.g., use the bb-specify, bb-plan, or bb-tasks skill first).

2. Resolve review mode

   • Parse $ARGUMENTS:
     • if contains usability -> usability-only
     • if contains code -> code-only
     • if contains both or empty -> both
   • If arguments are ambiguous, default to both.

3. Load minimal review context

   • From spec.md: user stories, acceptance scenarios, functional and non-functional requirements.
   • From plan.md: architecture constraints, intended UX/platform surfaces, technical tradeoffs.
   • From tasks.md: story coverage, dependency ordering, test tasks.
   • From BuildBetter artifacts (if present): exact quotes, evidence IDs, themes, customers affected, evidence-backed stories.

4. Usability review (if selected)

   • Evaluate each primary user story through this narrative:
     • Is this easy to use?
     • Is this intuitive?
     • Does this solve the problem?
     • Does this work?
   • For each question, produce a verdict: pass, risk, or fail with rationale.
   • Use BuildBetter evidence IDs (BB-EXTRACTION-*) where available.
   • Detect whether this is a visual/UI-heavy feature (pages, flows, forms, dashboard, mobile/web UI states).
   • If visual/UI-heavy:
     • Recommend Playwright validation and provide a focused scenario list tied to user stories.
     • Include coverage for happy path, alternate flow, and failure/edge case.
   • If not visual-heavy:
     • Recommend API/integration behavior checks aligned with user stories and acceptance criteria.

5. Code review (if selected)

   • Review implementation state using current branch changes and task intent.
   • Prioritize findings in this order:
     • correctness/behavioral regressions
     • security/privacy issues
     • reliability/performance risks
     • missing tests for user-story acceptance criteria
     • maintainability issues that materially increase delivery risk
   • Keep findings concrete with file references and impact statements.
   • If no issues are found, state that explicitly and list remaining testing gaps.

6. Coverage and traceability checks

   • Map each reviewed user story to:
     • acceptance criteria coverage
     • task coverage (tasks.md)
     • evidence linkage (BuildBetter IDs) when available
   • Flag any story with weak evidence, missing validation, or missing implementation coverage.

7. Produce review report

   • Write FEATURE_DIR/review.md with this structure:

   # Review Report
   
   ## Review Scope
   - Mode: [usability|code|both]
   - BuildBetter Evidence: [available|partial|missing]
   
   ## Usability Review
   - Story: ...
   - Easy to use: [pass|risk|fail] - rationale
   - Intuitive: [pass|risk|fail] - rationale
   - Solves the problem: [pass|risk|fail] - rationale
   - Works: [pass|risk|fail] - rationale
   - Evidence refs: [BB-EXTRACTION-###]
   
   ## Playwright Recommendation
   - Needed: [yes|no]
   - Why:
   - Suggested scenarios:
   
   ## Code Review Findings
   - [Severity] [File] Finding summary and recommendation
   
   ## Coverage Matrix
   - Story -> acceptance criteria -> tasks -> evidence refs
   
   ## Verdict
   - Ready / Ready with risks / Not ready
   - Blocking issues:
   - Suggested next step:
   

8. Report completion

   • Return the path to review.md.
   • Summarize:
     • mode used
     • whether Playwright is recommended
     • top risks/blockers
     • readiness verdict

Rules

• Be explicit and deterministic; avoid vague review statements.
• Never fabricate evidence IDs or implementation status.
• Keep BuildBetter quotes redacted if re-quoted.
• Do not modify spec.md, plan.md, or tasks.md in this command.
