-   feature picked yet), there is no directory to write into until step 4 resolves one — hold the
-   rounds and write them all, in round order, immediately after step 4's `mkdir`.
-4. **Pick the feature** — if `feature_slug` is non-null (branch-derived, auto-selected from a
-   single non-git candidate, or resolved via step 1's disambiguation), use it. If still null

-   entirely.

-   people who never used DoFlow. Occurrences inside `agent-docs/` are correct usage and the verb
-   excludes them itself. The verb reports and never blocks.
-
-   **Say which kind of repository you are scanning before you list anything.** A repository that
-   *uses* DoFlow should contain none of this vocabulary outside `agent-docs/`, so every finding is
-   worth a line. A repository that *implements* it — DoFlow's own tree, or any project vendoring the
-   chain — contains it correctly and by the hundred: its scaffold generator writes `requirement.md`,
-   its guards assert on `FR-###`, its changelog describes the chain. Listing those individually
-   teaches a reviewer to skip this step, and a skipped check protects nothing.
-
-   So: in an implementing repository, narrow the scan with `--exclude <segment>` (repeatable, and it
-   extends the artifact-directory exclusion rather than replacing it), and report the count you
-   excluded alongside the findings you kept. Never silently drop a path — the verb reports an
-   excluded file as `unscanned` with its reason, and so should you.
-
-   **Derive the exclusion set, do not judge it by eye.** What a repository *implements* is what its
-   package manifest ships plus its tests — for DoFlow that is `package.json`'s
-   `files: ["bin/", "src/", "core/"]`, so the set is `--exclude bin --exclude src --exclude core
-   --exclude test`. Reading "the code that ships onward" as a matter of judgement is how this step
-   was first narrowed wrong: `bin/` was left in and its internal requirement references were
-   reported as leaks, when `bin/` is as much DoFlow's implementation as `src/` is.
-
-   What survives that exclusion in an implementing repository is documentation *about* the chain —
-   a changelog, a docs tree — which contains the vocabulary correctly and in volume. Report the
-   count and say so, rather than pasting it. In DoFlow's own repository this step therefore has no
-   applicable surface at all, and saying that plainly is the honest result, not a failure to look.

+   list each excluded path as `unscanned` with its reason. What survives is documentation about the

 ## Tools
 
-### PR Analyzer
-
-Analyzes git diff between branches to assess review complexity and identify risks.
-
-```bash
-# Analyze current branch against main
-python scripts/pr_analyzer.py /path/to/repo
-
-# Compare specific branches
-python scripts/pr_analyzer.py . --base main --head feature-branch
-
-# JSON output for integration
-python scripts/pr_analyzer.py /path/to/repo --json
-```
-
-**Extracted — what the analyzer detects** (universal; see also the language file for
-language-specific signals):
-- Hardcoded secrets (passwords, API keys, tokens, connection strings)
-- SQL / query injection patterns
-- Debug statements left in production code
-- Lint / analyzer suppression annotations
-- TODO/FIXME comments
-
-**Language-specific detections** are defined in each `languages/*.md` file.
-
-**Inferred — what the report concludes from those detections:**
-- Complexity score (1-10)
-- Risk categorization (critical, high, medium, low)
-- File prioritization for review order
-- Commit message validation
-
-Report the two halves apart. A detection is a locator in a file; a conclusion is your reading of
-several of them, and merging them into one line is how a reading stops being falsifiable.
-

-
-### Code Quality Checker
-
-Analyzes source code for structural issues, code smells, and SOLID violations.
-
-```bash
-# Analyze a directory
-python scripts/code_quality_checker.py /path/to/code
-
-# Analyze specific language
-# Valid values: python, typescript, javascript, go, swift, kotlin, csharp, java, c, cpp, rust, ruby, php, dart
-python scripts/code_quality_checker.py . --language java
-
-# JSON output
-python scripts/code_quality_checker.py /path/to/code --json
-```
-
-**Universal thresholds:** declared in `review-policy.json`, never here. A guard fails the suite if a
-number from it reappears in any document. Read what a run applies from the run: `--json` carries a
-`policy` block naming the thresholds in force and the tiers that supplied them.
-
-Three tiers resolve into one, lowest precedence first: the analyzer's built-in literal, the shipped
-`review-policy.json` beside this file, then `agent-docs/review-policy.json` in the repository under
-review, which a project's tech lead owns. A per-repo file is **partial** — declare only what you are
-changing — and its absence is the ordinary state. A file that does not parse, names an unknown group,
-or gives a threshold a non-integer value stops the analyzer naming the file and the problem rather
-than reverting to defaults under a maintainer who believes their tuning applies. The policy also
-declares severities, the verdict bands below, and the globs a review excludes.
-
-The per-repo tier is found by walking up from the analysed path, so a target outside any repository
-resolves none, which the `policy` block makes visible.
-
-Language-specific checks are defined in each `languages/*.md` file.
-

-
-### Review Report Generator
-
-Combines PR analysis and code quality findings into structured review reports.
-
-```bash
-# Generate report for current repo
-python scripts/review_report_generator.py /path/to/repo
-
-# Markdown output
-python scripts/review_report_generator.py . --format markdown --output review.md
-
-# Use pre-computed analyses
-python scripts/review_report_generator.py . \
-  --pr-analysis pr_results.json \
-  --quality-analysis quality_results.json
-```
-
-**Verdicts:** the bands live in `review-policy.json` under `verdictBands`, for the same reason the
-thresholds do. They are **declared, never applied**: they orient a reviewer reading a score, and
-nothing computes the verdict from one. A verdict may therefore disagree with the band a score falls
-in, provided the report says so and why.
