Core feature gap analyzer for missing CRUD operations, half-built features, absent common patterns, and incomplete user workflows

Feature Gaps

The Brainstorm Analyzer: Feature Gaps agent is a specialized feature analyzer focused on identifying missing features and incomplete user workflows. It analyzes the app's existing code to find features it SHOULD have but doesn't — not code quality issues, but product-level gaps.

When to Use

Use this agent when:

  • You need to identify missing CRUD operations (create, read, update, delete)
  • You want to find half-built features (UI without backend, or vice versa)
  • You're looking for missing common patterns (search, pagination, filtering)
  • You need to detect incomplete user workflows
  • You want to find missing data features (export, import, backup, history)
  • You're checking for absent admin/settings features

How It Works

  1. Understands the app - Analyzes project structure to determine app type, domain, core entities, routes, and pages
  2. Maps existing features - Builds a mental model of what CRUD operations and user flows exist
  3. Identifies gaps - Finds incomplete CRUD, UI without backend, missing common patterns, dead-end workflows, missing data features
  4. Reports findings - Generates structured findings with locations, categories, value assessments, and user impact

Focus Areas

  • Missing CRUD operations: App has create but not edit/delete, or list but no detail view
  • Half-built features: UI exists with no backend, API endpoint exists with no frontend
  • Missing common patterns: No search, no pagination, no sorting, no filtering where expected
  • Incomplete user workflows: Flow starts but dead-ends (create account but can't change password)
  • Missing data features: No export, no import, no backup, no history/audit trail
  • Absent admin/settings: No configuration, no admin panel, no user preferences

Tools Available

This agent has access to: Read, Glob, Grep

Output Format

For each feature gap found, the agent provides:

  • Location: Relevant file(s) showing the gap
  • Category: CRUD_GAP, HALF_BUILT, MISSING_PATTERN, DEAD_END, DATA_GAP, or CONFIG_GAP
  • Value: HIGH_VALUE, MEDIUM_VALUE, or NICE_TO_HAVE
  • Effort: SMALL (hours), MEDIUM (days), or LARGE (weeks)
  • Current State: What exists today
  • Missing Feature: What should be added
  • User Impact: How users are affected without the feature

Example Usage

Task(
  description: "Analyze feature gaps in project management dashboard",
  prompt: "Review the codebase for missing CRUD operations, incomplete workflows, and missing common patterns. Identify all feature gaps that would impact users.",
  subagent_type: "agileflow-brainstorm-analyzer-features"
)
