# INTENT ↔ SCOPE Gap Analysis
|
||
|
||
**Repository:** `reuse-surface`
|
||
**Artifact:** `docs/IntentScopeGapAnalysis.md`
|
||
**Status:** Living analysis
|
||
**Updated:** 2026-06-16
|
||
**Purpose:** Record alignment, drift, and open gaps between declared intent and
|
||
current delivered scope so future workplans can close them deliberately.
|
||
|
||
**Canon:** Product truth in `INTENT.md`; delivery truth in `SCOPE.md`.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 1. Summary
|
||
|
||
`INTENT.md` defines the long-term capability registry product: a reuse surface
|
||
that makes capabilities visible, assessable, and consumable for planning and
|
||
implementation across repos and organizations.
|
||
|
||
`SCOPE.md` (refreshed post–WP-0014) describes current delivery:
|
||
|
||
| Dimension | Delivered today |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| Registry product | 20 helix_forge entries in reuse-surface; maturity model, schema, validation |
|
||
| Tooling | CLI **A3+**; hosted hub HTTP API **A4** at `https://reuse.coulomb.social` |
|
||
| Federation | 60 hub registrations; 60 URL sources; 37 composed federated rows |
|
||
| Workstation rollout | 60/60 local repos established (`local-repo-roster.yaml`) |
|
||
| Authoring aids | `establish`, `update`, `stats`, optional llm-connect discover |
|
||
| Observability | `report cohorts`, catalog/graph UIs, pytest + CI gates |
|
||
|
||
REUSE-WP-0001 through REUSE-WP-0014 closed the MVP, federation hub, intent
|
||
alignment, registry bootstrap, and **local workstation registry rollout**. The
|
||
documents remain **directionally aligned** on registry-first reuse, four maturity
|
||
dimensions, and human/agent consumers.
|
||
|
||
**Open gaps** (operator or follow-on workplans):
|
||
|
||
1. **Gitea publish visibility** — 12/60 repos fail raw URL probe (federation fetch).
|
||
2. **Planning analytics breadth** — gap report shipped; no roadmap views or
|
||
standardization tracker.
|
||
3. **Hub automation** — no polling/webhooks for federated refresh.
|
||
4. **Managed platform posture** — A6/Postgres/multi-replica not implemented.
|
||
5. **Consumer reliability evidence** — catalog mostly R0–R2; thin telemetry loop.
|
||
|
||
**Current reuse-surface product vector (self-assessment):** `D5 / A4 / C5 / R3`
|
||

||
## 2. Alignment Matrix
|
||
|
||
| Topic | INTENT.md | SCOPE.md | Status |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| Registry-first boundary | Unregistered capabilities invisible | Same | **Aligned** |
|
||
| Four maturity dimensions | D, A, C, R; internal vs external evidence | Same in entries and schema | **Aligned** |
|
||
| Human and agent consumers | Registry formats for both | Markdown + YAML + CLI + hub API | **Aligned** |
|
||
| Reuse over inventory | Explicit principle | Query, overlaps, federation, dedup plan | **Aligned** |
|
||
| Planning vs implementation reuse | Distinct dimensions | Query, vectors, `consumption_modes` | **Aligned** |
|
||
| Technical foundation | Eventually technical | CLI A3, hub A4, container A5 artifact | **Aligned** |
|
||
| Cross-repo capability visibility | Reuse across repos/products/orgs | 60 repos scaffolded; 20 federated caps | **Partial** |
|
||
| Generalized primitives (D7) | Beyond single repo/domain | helix_forge only; no D7 pipeline view | **Partial** |
|
||
| Success criteria (8 outcomes) | See §5 | Most met; analytics + normalization partial | **Partial** |
|
||
| Repository layout | Tree in INTENT §Initial Repository Role | Matches SCOPE; roster artifact added | **Aligned** |
|
||
| State Hub / workplans | Not in INTENT | ADR-001 sync; delivery process | SCOPE-only (OK) |
|
||
| Hosting capabilities | Out of scope | Hub stores metadata/URLs only | **Aligned** |
|
||

|
||
## 3. INTENT → SCOPE Gaps (Open)
|
||
|
||
What `INTENT.md` still expects beyond current `SCOPE.md` delivery.
|
||
|
||
### 3.1 Cross-repo federation fetch and namespace (Medium)
|
||
|
||
| INTENT claim | SCOPE reality | Gap |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Capabilities reusable across repos, products, orgs | 60 repos on hub; 20 federated rows | Single domain (`helix_forge`) |
|
||
| Find capabilities before rebuilding at network scale | Hub + compose + roster | 12 indexes not HTTP-fetchable |
|
||
| Identify duplicates (success criterion) | `overlaps` + compose (0 duplicate warnings) | `activity-core` stub until publish passes |
|
||
|
||
**Follow-up:** `history/2026-06-16-wp0014-remaining-work-by-repo.md` (Gitea);
|
||
`history/2026-06-16-federation-deduplication-plan.md` (reuse-surface dedup).
|
||
|
||
### 3.2 Planning support breadth (Low–Medium)
|
||
|
||
| INTENT claim | SCOPE reality | Gap |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Plan prototype/MVP/enhancement/platform work | `report cohorts`, `report gaps`, query | No roadmap views |
|
||
| Identify gaps, overlaps, standardization candidates | `overlaps`, `report gaps` | No standardization workflow |
|
||
| Track progress to generalized capabilities (D7) | Per-entry `promotion_history` | No cross-entry D7 pipeline |
|
||
|
||
### 3.3 Hub operations (Low–Medium)
|
||
|
||
| INTENT claim | SCOPE reality | Gap |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Operational federation | Production hub; `hub sync` | On-demand compose; no webhooks |
|
||
| Dependable platform consumption (R4+) | Container deploy doc | SQLite single-replica; no SLO enforcement |
|
||
|
||
### 3.4 Consumer reliability evidence (Low–Medium)
|
||
|
||
| INTENT claim | SCOPE reality | Gap |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Reliability from consumer signals | Schema + README checklist | Most entries R0–R2 |
|
||
| Trust for important workflows (R4+) | CI + hub smoke | No formal consumer_feedback loop |
|
||
|
||
### 3.5 Owner-repo capability depth (Low — ongoing)
|
||
|
||
| INTENT claim | SCOPE reality | Gap |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Rich registry across organization | 60 scaffolds; 8 seeded | 52 repos at capability_count 0 |
|
||
| Discover mature capabilities network-wide | 20 federated rows | Growth is per-repo, optional |
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## 4. Closed Gaps (Historical)
|
||
|
||
| Workplan / milestone | Gap closed | Evidence |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| WP-0003 – WP-0011 | MVP CLI, validation, catalog, federation, hub | Archived workplans; pytest |
|
||
| WP-0012 | `hub sync`, cohort reports, INTENT layout, hub hardening doc | `hub_sync.py`, `docs/deploy/` |
|
||
| WP-0013 | Registry bootstrap in sibling repos | `establish`, `update`, `stats` |
|
||
| WP-0014 | Workstation registry rollout; hub 60 registrations | `local-repo-roster.yaml`; milestone history |
|
||
| WP-0015-T02 | Federated ID deduplication | 3 local entries; 0 compose duplicate warnings |
|
||
| WP-0015-T03 | Planning gap report | `reuse-surface report gaps` |
|
||
| Priority 18 | Sibling / workstation hub membership | 60/60 `hub list` |
|
||
| Priority 19–24 | See §8 | WP-0012/0013 deliveries |
|
||

|
||
|
||
## 5. INTENT Success Criteria vs SCOPE Delivery
|
||
|
||
From `INTENT.md` §Success Criteria:
|
||
|
||
| # | Criterion | Met? | SCOPE evidence | Remaining gap |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| 1 | Find reusable capabilities before rebuilding | **Yes** | Index, query, catalog, hub `/v1/federated`, federation compose | 12 sources not fetchable |
|
||
| 2 | Compare maturity consistently | **Yes** | Vectors, schema, graph relations | — |
|
||
| 3 | Distinguish conceptual readiness from delivery | **Yes** | D vs A in model and index | — |
|
||
| 4 | Distinguish internal assessment from external evidence | **Yes** | `maturity` vs `external_evidence` | — |
|
||
| 5 | Plan prototype/MVP/enhancement/platform work | **Partial** | `report cohorts`, `report gaps`, query | No roadmap views |
|
||
| 6 | Identify gaps, duplicates, overlaps, standardization | **Partial** | `overlaps`, `report gaps`, deduped index | Standardization tracker |
|
||
| 7 | Track progress to generalized capabilities (D7) | **Partial** | `promotion_history` per entry | No org-wide D7 view |
|
||
| 8 | Make reuse normal in architecture work | **Partial** | AGENTS.md, 60-repo rollout | 12 publish blockers remain |
|
||
|
||
**Score:** 4 fully met, 4 partial — consistent with **C5** product completeness for
|
||
known registry expectations, not yet saturated (**C6**).
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 6. Completeness Assessment (SCOPE vs INTENT)
|
||
|
||
| Area | INTENT expectation | Current delivery | Level |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| Registry model and principles | Full | INTENT + specs | C5 |
|
||
| Maturity standard | Full | `CapabilityMaturityStandard.md` | C5 |
|
||
| Entry authoring | Full for MVP | Template + schema + README | C5 |
|
||
| Seed registry (reuse-surface) | Examples + meta | 3 entries (meta + 1 stub) | C4 |
|
||
| Discovery surface | Machine-readable | Index, query, export, hub API, federated | C5 |
|
||
| Validation | Tooling | `validate` + CI | C5 |
|
||
| Search / filter | Supported | query, catalog HTML | C4 |
|
||
| Federation membership | Cross-repo | 60 hub members; compose + sync | C5 |
|
||
| Federation fetch reliability | Published indexes | 48/60 publish pass | C4 |
|
||
| Workstation bootstrap | Org-wide visibility | Roster + establish tooling | C4 |
|
||
| Agent instructions | Expected | AGENTS.md, tools README | C4 |
|
||
| Technical consumption | A3+ tools | CLI A3, hub A4 | C4 |
|
||
| Planning analytics | Success criteria | `report cohorts`, `report gaps` | C4 |
|
||
| Documentation canon | Concept + living delta | Concept doc + this file | C4 |
|
||
|
||
**Overall completeness vs INTENT:** **C5** for reuse-surface product scope;
|
||
**C4** for end-to-end fetchable federation until remaining Gitea blockers clear.
|
||

|
||
|
||
## 7. Reliability Assessment (SCOPE vs INTENT)
|
||
|
||
| Signal | State |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| Automated tests | pytest (registry, federation, hub, hub_sync, stats, reports) |
|
||
| CI gates | validate, federation compose, catalog, graph, pytest |
|
||
| Production hub | `reuse.coulomb.social` — TLS, 60 registrations |
|
||
| Workstation rollout | Deterministic establish/validate; roster tracked |
|
||
| Consumer feedback | Informal; 3 entries with structured `consumer_feedback` |
|
||
| Known friction | 12 Gitea 404; hub SQLite single-replica |
|
||
|
||
**Overall reliability vs INTENT consumer-evidence framing:** **R3 (Usable)** —
|
||
CI and production paths support normal agent/operator workflows with documented
|
||
limitations. **R4 (Dependable)** blocked on SLO, backup automation, and
|
||
consumer telemetry.

|
||
|
||
## 8. Priority Gap Closure Order
|
||
|
||
### Closed (priorities 1–24)
|
||
|
||
See §4 and archived workplans `workplans/archived/`.
|
||
|
||
### Proposed next (priorities 25–27)
|
||
|
||
| Priority | Gap | Suggested outcome | Status |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| 25 | Gitea publish visibility (12 repos) | Raw URL HTTP 200 for all roster rows | **REUSE-WP-0015-T01** (in progress) |
|
||
| 26 | Federated ID deduplication | Per-owner removal from reuse-surface index | **Closed** (WP-0015-T02) |
|
||
| 27 | Planning analytics + standardization | Gap report or standardization tracker | **Partial** — gap report shipped (T03); tracker deferred |
|
||
|
||
**Workplan:** `workplans/REUSE-WP-0015-federation-polish-and-planning-analytics.md`
|
||
**Assessment:** `history/2026-06-16-intent-scope-assessment.md`
|
||
|
||
**Follow-up docs:**
|
||
|
||
- `history/2026-06-16-wp0014-remaining-work-by-repo.md`
|
||
- `history/2026-06-16-federation-deduplication-plan.md`
|
||
- `registry/federation/local-repo-roster.yaml`
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 9. Document Maintenance Rules
|
||
|
||
- Re-run this analysis when `INTENT.md` or `SCOPE.md` changes materially.
|
||
- When a gap closes, update §3–§8 and adjust the self-assessment vector in `SCOPE.md`.
|
||
- New workplans should reference priority rows from §8.
|
||
- Prefer `SCOPE.md` for delivery truth; `INTENT.md` for product truth.
