Ecosystem Borrow Audit

• language/toolchain markers
• recent commit date and remotes (for git repos)
• README/docs architecture keywords (worker, policy, queue, memory, gate, retry, metrics, etc.)

3. Run tier-2 deep reviews.

• Always include:
  • the target project repository
  • directly-related repositories discovered from docs, configs, and imports
  • any repository with high relevance and high borrowability from tier-1 scoring
• Add highest-scoring repos from tier-1.
• Extract concrete borrow candidates and file-backed evidence.

4. Reconcile missed opportunities.

• Compare findings with project roadmap/state docs (for target repo):
  • VISION.md, IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md, PROMPT.md
• Label findings:
  • already implemented
  • partially implemented
  • missed and high-value
  • low-value/not applicable

5. Produce ranked action backlog.

• Rank by impact, effort, risk, and dependency ordering.
• Include explicit next actions and validation checks.

6. Run ideate sweeps independently per sigma.

• Check availability first:

timeout 120 ~/.local/bin/gptengage status 2>&1

• Run each sigma independently and save both JSON and text output:

SEED="<user-seed>"
for SIG in 0.25 0.5 1 1.5; do
  timeout 600 ~/.local/bin/gptengage ideate "$SEED" --sigma "$SIG" --depth 2 --output json --cli <CLI> --timeout 300 2>&1 | tee "/tmp/ecosystem_audit/ideate_sigma_${SIG}_json.out"
  timeout 600 ~/.local/bin/gptengage ideate "$SEED" --sigma "$SIG" --depth 2 --output text --cli <CLI> --timeout 300 2>&1 | tee "/tmp/ecosystem_audit/ideate_sigma_${SIG}_text.out"
done

7. Merge ideation with repo-grounded findings.

• Deduplicate themes.
• Label each final idea:
  • repo-grounded
  • hybrid
  • ideate-only
• Prioritize repo-grounded and hybrid items.

Output Format

Return:

1. Coverage summary (counts + scope)
2. Ranked backlog (impact/effort/risk)
3. Missed previously section
4. Ideate summary by sigma
5. Artifact paths to raw scans and ideate outputs

Guardrails

• Keep analysis evidence-backed with file paths and commands.
• Do not treat non-git listings entries as repos; include them as contextual entries.
• If gptengage fails, report error and suggest:

~/.local/bin/gptengage status

• If preferred ideate CLI stalls/timeouts repeatedly, report the issue and run a fallback CLI only with user approval.
