tegwick 80bccc4bbb Add intent-scope gap analysis and REUSE-WP-0003 workplan
Document gaps between INTENT.md and SCOPE.md, refresh SCOPE with current
MVP capabilities, and seed the follow-up workplan for documentation
alignment, registry CLI tooling, and coverage growth.

# SCOPE
## One-liner
Capability registry for planning and implementation reuse based on discovery and delivery maturity.
## Core Idea
`reuse-surface` provides a registry-centric reuse layer for capabilities. It
makes capabilities visible, comparable, assessable, and reusable for planning,
implementation, and operation. A capability that is not registered is invisible
for reuse within this product boundary.
## In Scope
- Maintain the capability maturity model, standards, schemas, registry formats,
sample entries, indexes, validation guidance, and agent instructions.
- Keep `INTENT.md`, `specs/`, registry artifacts, and State Hub workplans
aligned on the registry-first reuse boundary.
- Support humans and agents as registry consumers through Markdown-first
authoring and machine-readable metadata.
- Record decisions, progress, and workplan status through State Hub.
- Verify changes with documentation review, `git diff --check`, and ADR-001
consistency checks.
## Out of Scope
- Host or operate the registered capabilities themselves.
- Replace package registries, service catalogs, issue trackers, or project
management systems.
- Judge internal code quality as capability maturity.
- Own unrelated adjacent systems or make irreversible operational decisions
without human approval.
## What Is Possible Now
The MVP registry foundation is in place. Humans and agents can:
- **Discover capabilities** via `registry/indexes/capabilities.yaml`
- **Add a new capability** at D0/A0/C0/R0 using
`templates/capability-entry.template.md`
- **Promote capabilities** by updating front matter with evidence-backed
discovery, availability, completeness, and reliability levels
- **Compare candidates** using maturity vectors, scope, relations, and consumer
guidance in entry files
- **Record expectations** through `external_evidence.completeness` and
`external_evidence.reliability` fields
- **Validate entries manually** using the checklist in `registry/README.md`
against `schemas/capability.schema.yaml`
- **Avoid duplicates** by searching the index before creating new entries
These workflows satisfy the MVP acceptance criteria in
`specs/ProductRequirementsDocument.md` section 16 through manual, Git-friendly
authoring. There is no CLI, API, or automated validator yet.
## What Is Not Possible Yet
- Automated schema validation or registry export
- CLI query/filter commands
- Generated human-readable catalog site
- Capability graph visualization
- Promotion history tracking or review workflows in tooling
- Federation across repositories or organizations
See `tools/README.md` for planned tooling that remains out of scope for the
current MVP.
## Current State
- Status: active MVP registry (documentation-only, A0 availability).
- The repository has no package manifest, build system, runtime app, or
executable test suite. Registry consumption is informational: read, author,
compare, and plan.
- Three sample capabilities are registered in `registry/capabilities/`:
- `capability.registry.register` — D3 / A0 / C1 / R0
- `capability.feature-control.evaluate` — D5 / A4 / C3 / R3
- `capability.identity.vocabulary-canonicalize` — D4 / A0 / C2 / R0
- `specs/` holds the product requirements, use case catalog, and maturity
standard. `schemas/`, `templates/`, `registry/`, and `tools/` hold the
registry authoring and validation surfaces.
- Bootstrap work (`REUSE-WP-0001`) and MVP registry foundation
(`REUSE-WP-0002`) are finished. The next work should expand registry coverage,
tighten validation, or add CLI tooling through new workplans.
