Batch Review: Process Multiple Articles

Review all articles in $2 against the $1 brand style guide.

Step 1: Validate Inputs

Before proceeding:

• Verify style guide exists at brands/$1/style-guide.md
  • If missing: Error and suggest running /generate-style-guide $1 [source]
• Verify directory exists at $2
  • If missing: Error with clear message
• Check if $3 is --auto-apply (determines whether to apply corrections automatically)

Step 2: Discover Articles

Scan the directory at $2 for markdown files:

• Use Glob to find all *.md files in $2
• Exclude files ending with _edited.md (already processed)
• Exclude README.md files
• Sort by filename
• Report number of articles found

If no articles found:

• Provide clear message and exit

If articles found:

• Display list of articles to be reviewed
• Ask user to confirm: "Found [X] articles. Proceed with batch review? (yes/no)"

Step 3: Process Each Article

For each article in the list:

Option A: Sequential Processing (Default - More Reliable)

1. Display: "Processing article [N] of [total]: [filename]"
2. Run the equivalent of /style-check $1 [article-path] on this article
3. Collect findings
4. If --auto-apply: Apply corrections and save to edited/ folder
5. Move to next article

Option B: Parallel Processing (Faster but Resource-Intensive)

• If user confirms they want parallel processing:
• Batch articles into groups of 3
• Process each group in parallel
• Note: This will spawn 24 agents per batch (8 agents × 3 articles)

Step 4: Aggregate Portfolio Results

After all articles processed, create portfolio compliance report:

# Batch Review Report: $1

**Brand:** $1
**Source Directory:** $2
**Review Date:** [current date]
**Articles Reviewed:** [number]
**Auto-Apply:** [yes/no]

- Major issues (16+ violations): [X] articles ([%])

**Total Violations Across Portfolio:**

- Grammar & Usage: [X] violations
- Punctuation: [X] violations
- Formatting: [X] violations
- Technical Standards: [X] violations
- Content Patterns: [X] violations
- Industry Terms: [X] violations

**Average violations per article:** [number]

## Most Common Violations

1. [Most frequent issue]: [X] occurrences across [Y] articles
2. [Second most frequent]: [X] occurrences across [Y] articles
3. [Third most frequent]: [X] occurrences across [Y] articles
4. [etc.]

## Article-by-Article Summary

| Article | Total Violations | Status | Priority |
|---------|-----------------|--------|----------|
| [filename-1] | [X] | ✅/⚠️/❌ | High/Med/Low |
| [filename-2] | [X] | ✅/⚠️/❌ | High/Med/Low |
| [etc.] | [X] | ✅/⚠️/❌ | High/Med/Low |

**Legend:**
- ✅ Fully compliant (0 violations)
- ⚠️ Minor issues (1-5 violations)
- ❌ Needs attention (6+ violations)

---

## Priority Recommendations

### High Priority Articles (Review First)
[List articles with major brand voice/structural issues]

### Medium Priority Articles
[List articles with consistency/formatting issues]

### Low Priority Articles
[List articles with minor polish needed]

## Common Patterns to Address

**Voice & Tone Issues:**
[List common voice/tone violations seen across multiple articles]

**Grammar & Usage Issues:**
[List common grammar violations]

**Formatting Issues:**
[List common formatting violations]

[etc.]

---

## Next Steps

1. Review high-priority articles first
2. Consider updating style guide if new patterns emerge
3. For articles with 0 violations: Consider them as exemplars
4. For articles with many violations: May indicate style guide misalignment

**Files Generated:**
- Batch report: docs/logs/[date]_batch-review_$1.md
- Individual reports: docs/logs/[date]_style-check_$1_[article].md (for each article)
- Edited articles: $2/../edited/ (if --auto-apply used)

Step 5: Save Reports

Save the following:

• Portfolio report: docs/logs/[YYYY-MM-DD]_batch-review_$1.md
• Individual reports: One per article in docs/logs/
• Edited articles: If --auto-apply, save to brands/$1/articles/edited/ or $2/../edited/

Step 6: Update Brand README

If brands/$1/README.md exists:

• Add note about this batch review
• Update "Last Reviewed" date
• Add summary statistics

If doesn't exist:

• Create basic README with review statistics

Usage Examples

# Review all articles in directory (report only)
/batch-review animalz brands/animalz/articles/original/

# Review and automatically apply corrections
/batch-review animalz brands/animalz/articles/original/ --auto-apply

# Review articles from any directory
/batch-review hubspot /Users/name/Documents/hubspot-drafts/

Performance Estimates

Sequential processing (default):

• Time per article: ~5-10 minutes
• For 10 articles: ~50-100 minutes (1-2 hours)
• More reliable, less resource-intensive

Parallel processing (if user requests):

• Time for 3 articles (batch): ~10-15 minutes
• For 10 articles (4 batches): ~40-60 minutes
• Faster but more complex

Error Handling

• Style guide missing: Provide helpful error with suggestion
• Directory not found: Check path and provide clear error
• No articles found: Inform user and suggest checking directory
• Individual article failures: Continue with remaining articles; note failures in report
• Permission issues: Report which files couldn't be accessed

Quality Assurance

After batch processing:

• Verify all articles were processed
• Check that reports were generated
• If --auto-apply: Verify edited files were created
• Count total violations vs. articles to ensure reasonable results
