Repository Scoping Functionality

Here is a Functional Requirements Specification (FRS) for the Repository Scoping (v0.1)—focused strictly on externally observable system behavior, aligned with your architecture and PRD.


Functional Requirements Specification (FRS)

Repository Scoping v0.1


1. Scope

This FRS defines the externally visible functionality of a system that:

  • registers Git repositories
  • analyzes repository content
  • extracts and manages abilities, capabilities, features, and evidence
  • enables search and inspection of repositories via UI and API

2. System Overview

The system provides:

Repository Registration
→ Analysis & Extraction
→ Review & Approval
→ Search & Inspection
→ API Access

3. Actors

Actor Description
User Registers repositories, searches, inspects
Curator Reviews and approves extracted data
System Performs automated analysis
Agent External system interacting via API

  • type (e.g. API, CLI, config)
  • implementation location (file path)
  • linked capability references
  • confidence score

FR-042 List Candidate Features

The system shall display candidate features.


4.6 Evidence Handling

FR-050 Detect Evidence Sources

The system shall identify evidence such as:

  • test files

4.7 Review and Curation

FR-060 View Analysis Results

The system shall allow users to view extracted abilities, capabilities, features, and evidence.

FR-061 Edit Entries

The system shall allow users to:

  • modify names
  • modify descriptions
  • adjust relationships

FR-062 Accept Entries

The system shall allow users to mark entries as approved.

  • from ability to capabilities
  • from capability to features
  • from feature to code location

FR-083 Display Evidence

The system shall display evidence associated with capabilities.

FR-084 Display Confidence

The system shall display confidence levels for abilities, capabilities, and features.


4.10 API Access

  2. Candidate abilities, capabilities, and features are generated
  3. A user can review and approve extracted entries
  4. A user can search for repositories using natural language
  5. A user can inspect a repository via an ability map
  6. A user can navigate from abstraction to code location

10. Summary

The system provides:

A structured, inspectable, and searchable mapping from repository usefulness (abilities) to concrete implementation (features and code), supported by evidence and reviewable extraction.


Next high-leverage step

If you want to push toward implementation:

👉 Define API schema (OpenAPI spec) 👉 Design database schema in SQL (ready to implement) 👉 Build first analyzer prototype (step-by-step coding plan)
