Search Features
You are executing the SEARCH FEATURES workflow — querying the backlog by filters and presenting a table.
Arguments
$ARGUMENTS is a series of flags. Pass them through to the search script.
Supported filters:
--state <active|paused|replaced|abandoned>--assignee <name>--priority <P0|P1|P2>--type <Feature|Enhancement|Bug Fix|Tech Debt|Epic>--category <name>--epic <id> (children of an epic)--depends-on <id> (features that depend on the given ID)--archive (include replaced + abandoned)--format text|json (default text)
If no filters: show all active features (excludes archive by default).
Step 1: Run the Search
python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/feature-search/scripts/search.py <project-root> $ARGUMENTS
Capture stdout.
Step 2: Format Response
For text output, render the markdown table as-is, plus a one-line summary above:
"N matching features:"
For JSON output (passed --format json), echo the JSON.
Step 3: Suggest Follow-Ups
If results contain features in specific states, suggest:
- Paused →
/feature-state <id> active to resume
- Active backlog →
/feature-plan <id> or /feature-autopilot <id>
- In progress →
/feature-implement <id>
If zero results:
- If user gave a specific filter, suggest broader filters or
--archive to include tombstones.
- If user is looking for an unknown feature, suggest
/feature-capture to add it.
