*Repository Scoping Requirements*
# **Product Requirements Document (PRD)**
## **Repository Scoping (v0.1)**
---
# 1. **Purpose**
The **Repository Scoping** provides a structured, inspectable orientation layer for code repositories by mapping them from **abilities → capabilities → features → implementation → evidence**.
It enables developers, architects, and agents to:
* understand what a repository is useful for
* inspect how it implements that usefulness
* compare repositories based on real functionality
* search repositories using natural language
---
# 2. **Problem Statement**
Modern code repositories suffer from **orientation opacity**:
* usefulness is unclear from structure alone
* README files are incomplete or misleading
* functionality is scattered across code
* reuse decisions rely on tribal knowledge
This results in:
* wasted time exploring repositories
* duplicated work
* poor architectural decisions
* low reuse of existing assets
---
# 3. **Goals**
## 3.1 Primary Goal
> Enable users to **register a repository and understand its usefulness within minutes** via an inspectable ability map.
---
## 3.2 Secondary Goals
* enable **natural language search** across repositories
* provide **traceability from abstraction to code**
* establish a **foundation for proof-of-ability integration**
* support both **human and agent interaction**
---
## 3.3 Non-Goals (v0.1)
* full automated benchmarking
* advanced ontology enforcement
* marketplace features
* monetization features
* full CI/CD integration
---
# 4. **Users**
## 4.1 Developer / Architect
* needs to find reusable functionality
* needs to understand unfamiliar repos quickly
## 4.2 Repository Owner
* wants their repo to be understandable and discoverable
## 4.3 Registry Curator
* ensures quality and correctness of extracted data
## 4.4 Agent / Automation
* queries registry programmatically
---
# 5. **Core Concepts**
```text
Ability = why the repository is useful
Capability = what behavior it provides
Feature = how the behavior is exposed/implemented
Evidence = why the capability can be trusted
```
---
# 6. **Product Scope (MVP)**
## 6.1 Included
* repository registration
* repository analysis (semi-automated)
* ability/capability/feature extraction (assisted)
* human review and correction
* searchable registry
* inspectable repository view
---
## 6.2 Excluded
* automated full-code understanding engine
* distributed indexing
* deep static analysis
* real-time synchronization
* full dependency graph modeling
---
# 7. **Functional Requirements**
---
## 7.1 Repository Registration
### FR-01
User can register a repository via Git URL.
### FR-02
System validates repository access.
### FR-03
System stores repository metadata.
---
## 7.2 Repository Analysis
### FR-04
System clones or accesses repository contents.
### FR-05
System extracts:
* languages
* structure
* interfaces (API, CLI, etc.)
* documentation files
* tests
---
## 7.3 Ability Extraction
### FR-06
System generates candidate abilities based on:
* README
* documentation
* examples
### FR-07
Each ability includes:
* name
* description
* confidence
* source references
---
## 7.4 Capability Extraction
### FR-08
System identifies candidate capabilities from:
* modules
* APIs
* tests
* code structure
### FR-09
Capabilities include:
* inputs
* outputs
* linked abilities
* description
---
## 7.5 Feature Extraction
### FR-10
System identifies concrete features:
* endpoints
* CLI commands
* modules
* configuration interfaces
### FR-11
Each feature includes:
* type
* implementation location
* linked capability
---
## 7.6 Evidence Linking
### FR-12
System identifies potential evidence:
* tests
* examples
* benchmarks
* docs
### FR-13
User can manually attach evidence to capabilities.
---
## 7.7 Review and Curation
### FR-14
User can review extracted abilities, capabilities, features.
### FR-15
User can edit, delete, or merge entries.
### FR-16
User can approve registry entry.
---
## 7.8 Search
### FR-17
User can search using natural language.
### FR-18
System maps queries to abilities/capabilities.
### FR-19
Search results include:
* repository name
* matching ability
* matching capability
* confidence
---
## 7.9 Inspection UI
### FR-20
User can view repository profile.
### FR-21
UI shows hierarchical structure:
```text
Ability → Capability → Feature → Code
```
### FR-22
User can drill down to:
* feature details
* code locations
* evidence
---
## 7.10 API Access
### FR-23
System exposes API endpoints for:
* search
* repository retrieval
* capability lookup
---
# 8. **Non-Functional Requirements**
---
## 8.1 Performance
* search results returned within < 2 seconds
* repository analysis < 2 minutes for medium repos
---
## 8.2 Scalability
* support 1001,000 repositories (MVP)
* architecture allows later horizontal scaling
---
## 8.3 Usability
* repository can be registered in < 2 minutes
* inspection view understandable within 1 minute
---
## 8.4 Extensibility
* schema versioned
* ability to extend capability model later
---
## 8.5 Reliability
* analysis failures do not corrupt registry
* partial results allowed
---
# 9. **Data Model (Simplified)**
```yaml
Repository:
id
name
url
description
metadata
Ability:
id
name
description
confidence
Capability:
id
name
description
inputs
outputs
ability_refs
Feature:
id
name
type
location
capability_refs
Evidence:
id
type
reference
capability_refs
```
---
# 10. **User Experience**
---
## 10.1 Key Screens
### 1. Repository Registration
* input URL
* confirm metadata
### 2. Analysis View
* detected structure
* proposed abilities/capabilities/features
### 3. Review Interface
* edit/approve entries
### 4. Search Page
* natural language search
* result list
### 5. Repository Profile Page
* ability map
* drill-down navigation
* code links
---
# 11. **Success Metrics**
---
## 11.1 Product Metrics
* time to understand a repository < 5 minutes
* number of repositories indexed
* number of successful searches
* user engagement with inspection view
---
## 11.2 Qualitative Metrics
* “I understand what this repo does now”
* “I found something reusable”
* “This saved me time”
---
# 12. **Risks**
---
## 12.1 Extraction Quality Risk
* automated inference may be inaccurate
**Mitigation:** human review required
---
## 12.2 Over-Complexity Risk
* ontology becomes too heavy
**Mitigation:** keep schema minimal in v0.1
---
## 12.3 Adoption Risk
* users may not contribute metadata
**Mitigation:** provide value via auto-analysis first
---
# 13. **Future Extensions**
* integration with CI/CD for live updates
* ability benchmarking integration (ties back to GIL)
* capability maturity scoring
* dependency graph across repositories
* marketplace / discovery layer
* automated code reasoning agents
---
# 14. **Positioning**
> The Repository Scoping is the missing orientation layer between raw code and practical reuse—making repositories understandable, comparable, and actionable.
