What problem does it solve?
It turns a vague “build this” idea into a structured, agent-ready scope that defines problem context, the smallest useful version, acceptance criteria, stack, deployment target, and the data model.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Evidence-based scoping: Reads docs/input/ (preferring distilled- versions when available) to convert briefs and specs into measurable acceptance criteria and constraints.
- Preferences-aligned planning: Uses preferences.md to select a stack and deployment target, and flags conflicts for resolution when user intent contradicts the configured preferences.
- Agent-gated output: Produces scaffolding/scope.md with verifiable AC-* IDs and clear guardrails so later phases can validate progress.
Quick Start
Run the lo-swe init/expand flow with a one-liner describing your new project, and it will create scaffolding/scope.md containing acceptance criteria, stack, deployment target, and data model.
