Scan Repo

Scan the Business OS document tree for changes since the last scan, analyze updates for business relevance, and optionally create ideas based on findings. Provides context for prioritization and review.

Operating Mode

READ + ANALYZE + OPTIONAL WRITE (IDEAS ONLY)

Allowed:

  • Run git commands to detect changes in docs/business-os/
  • Read and analyze changed files
  • Create scan result artifacts in docs/business-os/scans/
  • Create new ideas in inbox if findings warrant it
  • Update last-scan timestamp

Not allowed:

  • Modifying existing cards or ideas
  • Creating cards directly (use /work-idea for that)
  • Scanning outside docs/business-os/ directory
  • Automated actions based on scan (Phase 0: informational only)

Inputs

Optional:

  • Scan mode: full (scan all files) or incremental (since last scan, default)
  • Create ideas: true (auto-create ideas from significant findings) or false (report only, default)

    }

}

docs/business-os/scans/history/{timestamp}.json

Snapshot of scan results for audit trail (same schema as last-scan.json).

Workflow

1. Determine Scan Scope

bash
# Get last scan commit (from last-scan.json)
LAST_COMMIT=$(jq -r '.lastCommit' docs/business-os/scans/last-scan.json 2>/dev/null || echo "HEAD~30")

# If full scan requested, use initial commit
if [ "$FULL_SCAN" = "true" ]; then
  LAST_COMMIT=$(git rev-list --max-parents=0 HEAD)
fi

2. Scan for Changes

bash
# Get changed files since last scan
git diff $LAST_COMMIT...HEAD --name-status -- docs/business-os/ > /tmp/changes.txt

# Get unstaged/untracked files
git status --porcelain docs/business-os/ >> /tmp/changes.txt

# Parse output:
# M  docs/business-os/cards/BRIK-ENG-0001.user.md (modified)
# A  docs/business-os/ideas/inbox/new-idea.md (added)
# D  docs/business-os/cards/archive/OLD-001.user.md (deleted)
# ?? docs/business-os/ideas/inbox/untracked.md (untracked)

3. Categorize Changes

Parse each changed file and categorize:

  • Cards:

    • Modified: Lane transitions, owner changes, priority updates
    • Added: New opportunities or feature requests
    • Deleted: Archived or cancelled work
  • Ideas:

    • Inbox: New submissions, raw opportunities
    • Worked: Ideas being developed into cards
  • Plans:

    • Business plan updates (strategy changes)
    • People updates (team changes)
  • Stage Docs:

    • Fact-finding progress
    • Plan document updates
    • Build/Done documentation
    • Reflections

4. Analyze Business Relevance

For each significant change, assess:

High relevance (create idea):

  • New card in P0/P1 priority
  • Card moved to Blocked lane (needs attention)
  • Fact-finding complete but no plan created
  • Business plan updated with new strategic direction

Medium relevance (report only):

  • Card progressing normally (Inbox → Fact-finding → Planned)
  • Routine updates to existing cards
  • Stage doc updates

Low relevance (omit from report):

  • Formatting changes
  • Typo fixes
  • Archive operations

5. Create Ideas (If Enabled)

When createIdeas: true and high-relevance changes detected:

markdown
---
Type: Idea
ID: SCAN-BRIK-001
Business: BRIK
Status: raw
Created-Date: 2026-01-28
Tags: ["scan-generated", "review-needed"]
Source: Repository scan

# Review blocked card: BRIK-ENG-0001

## Finding
Card BRIK-ENG-0001 moved to Blocked lane on 2026-01-28.

## Blocker
Waiting for platform auth team to confirm GDPR compliance.

## Recommendation

## Evidence
- Card: `docs/business-os/cards/BRIK-ENG-0001.user.md`
- Change: Lane transition (In progress → Blocked)

6. Generate Scan Reports

last-scan.json:

json
{
  "lastCommit": "abc123def456",
  "scanDate": "2026-01-28T14:30:00Z",
  "changedFiles": [...],
  "summary": {...}
}

active-docs.json:

json
{
  "scanDate": "2026-01-28T14:30:00Z",
  "cards": [...],
  "ideas": [...],
  "plans": [...]
}

history/2026-01-28T14-30-00Z.json: Snapshot copy of scan results for audit trail.

Integration with Other Skills

  • After scan: Use /work-idea to convert scan-generated ideas to cards
  • Blocked cards: Use scan to identify blockers, then /propose-lane-move when unblocked
  • Business plan updates: Scan detects changes, use /update-business-plan to sync plan with reality
  • Fact-finding gaps: Scan finds cards in Fact-finding with stale stage docs, prompts review

Scan Frequency Recommendations

  • Daily scans: During active development periods
  • Weekly scans: During quieter periods
  • On-demand scans: Before planning sessions, after major milestones
  • Full scans: Monthly, to catch missed changes and verify consistency

Error Handling

  • No last-scan.json: Treat as first scan, use HEAD~30 as baseline
  • Git errors: Fail gracefully, suggest running git status manually
  • Malformed docs: Log warning, skip file, continue scan
  • Scan artifacts locked: Wait and retry, or skip if non-critical

Phase 0 Constraints

  • Pete-triggered only (no automated scheduling)
  • Agent identity for scan artifact commits
  • Informational only (no automated actions on scan results)
  • Scan limited to docs/business-os/ (no cross-repo scanning)
  • Single business context (global board shows P0/P1 from all businesses)

Success Metrics

  • Scan completion time: <2 seconds for incremental, <10 seconds for full
  • False positives: <10% (ideas created that Pete immediately dismisses)
  • Coverage: 100% of changes in docs/business-os/ detected
  • Idea conversion: ≥50% of scan-generated ideas become cards
