|
## Key Findings
|
|
|
|
### Content Assessment
|
|
|
|
✅ **High-quality contribution:**
|
|
|
|
- Comprehensive 8-section product planning checklist
|
|
- Professional writing and organization
|
|
- Clear, actionable sub-tasks for each area
|
|
- Fills gap in BMAD documentation
|
|
|
|
### Issues Identified
|
|
|
|
1. **File Placement (REQUIRED FIX)**
|
|
- Current: `/high-level-product-plan.md` (repository root)
|
|
- Violation: Breaks 100% consistent convention (46/46 docs in `docs/`)
|
|
- Required: `docs/planning/product-planning-checklist.md`
|
|
- Impact: Creates precedent for convention violations
|
|
|
|
2. **Code Style (REQUIRED FIX)**
|
|
- Issue: 148 trailing whitespace errors
|
|
- Test: `npx prettier --check` FAILED
|
|
- Fix: `npx prettier --write docs/planning/product-planning-checklist.md`
|
|
- Impact: Fails CI checks
|
|
|
|
3. **BMAD Integration (OPTIONAL ENHANCEMENT)**
|
|
- Current: Zero BMAD-specific references
|
|
- Overlap: Significant with existing workflows (product-brief, research, prd, architecture, etc.)
|
|
- Opportunity: Add section 9 showing BMAD workflow mappings
|
|
- Effort: ~1 hour
|
|
- Value: Transforms generic guide into BMAD-aware resource
|
|

## Lessons Learned
|
|
|
|
### Process Improvements
|
|
|
|
1. **Branch strategy works well:** pr-{number}-review branches keep workspace clean
|
|
2. **.patch/ directory effective:** Preserves all investigation artifacts for reference
|
|
3. **Phased approach valuable:** 7-phase plan kept investigation organized
|
|
4. **Todo tracking helpful:** Clear progress visibility throughout investigation
|
|
|
|
### Documentation Insights
|
|
|
|
1. **BMAD conventions are strict:** 100% consistency on docs/ placement helps new contributors
|
|
2. **Integration opportunities abound:** Generic content can often reference BMAD workflows
|
|
3. **Prettier is non-negotiable:** Trailing whitespace fails CI, must be addressed
|
|
4. **Constructive > prescriptive:** Offer examples, explain why, preserve contributor effort
|
|
|
|
### Review Insights
|
|
|
|
1. **Specificity matters:** "Relocate to docs/" is vague, "Move to docs/planning/product-planning-checklist.md" is clear
|
|
2. **Commands >> descriptions:** Providing exact `mkdir` and `mv` commands reduces friction
|
|
3. **Optional enhancements >> requirements:** Let contributor choose BMAD integration depth
|
|
4. **Appreciation >> criticism:** Thank first, explain conventions, then suggest improvements
|
