-## 📚 Document Discovery - Selective Epic Loading
-
-**Strategy**: This workflow needs only ONE specific epic and its stories for review context, not all epics. This provides huge efficiency gains when epics are sharded.
-
-**Epic Discovery Process (SELECTIVE OPTIMIZATION):**
-
-1. **Determine which epic** you need (epic_num from story being reviewed - e.g., story "3-2-feature-name" needs Epic 3)
-2. **Check for sharded version**: Look for `epics/index.md`
-3. **If sharded version found**:
-   - Read `index.md` to understand structure
-   - **Load ONLY `epic-{epic_num}.md`** (e.g., `epics/epic-3.md` for Epic 3)
-   - DO NOT load all epic files - only the one needed!
-   - This is the key efficiency optimization for large multi-epic projects
-4. **If whole document found**: Load the complete `epics.md` file and extract the relevant epic
-
-**Other Documents (architecture, ux-design) - Full Load:**
-
-1. **Search for whole document first** - Use fuzzy file matching
-2. **Check for sharded version** - If whole document not found, look for `{doc-name}/index.md`
-3. **If sharded version found**:
-   - Read `index.md` to understand structure
-   - Read ALL section files listed in the index
-   - Treat combined content as single document
-4. **Brownfield projects**: The `document-project` workflow creates `{output_folder}/docs/index.md`
-
-**Priority**: If both whole and sharded versions exist, use the whole document.
-
-**UX-Heavy Projects**: Always check for ux-design documentation as it provides critical context for reviewing UI-focused stories.
