System-Level Code Intelligence
Your codebase is not a prompt. It’s a system and systems require discipline, structure, and control.
MODELS THINK.
SYSTEMS DECIDE.
SCOPE is a code intelligence engine that builds a mental model of your repository and executes changes deterministically.
System Parameters
Stop guessing your way
through large codebases.
Most AI coding tools start with search. They retrieve chunks, guess relevance, and hope the diff works.That approach fails the moment a repo becomes real.
The Core Failure
- Small projects only
- Shallow architectures
- Happy paths only
"Search is not understanding."
— The Scope Manifesto
SCOPE does not start with search.
It starts with structure.
User Intent
Explicit Command
Mental Model
System-Level Graph
Bounded Retrieval
Targeted Access
Controlled Execution
Deterministic Edits
Key Rule:
If SCOPE isn’t confident, it refuses to act.
"Your architecture should not be re-discovered on every prompt."
SCOPE builds a persistent mental model. It understands boundaries and ownership.
"If behavior isn’t deterministic, it isn’t reliable."
Same prompt, same edit. Explicit execution rules. Reproducible outcomes.
"Every unnecessary edit is a bug."
SCOPE touches the minimum possible surface. It anchors edits to explicit intent.
"Refusal is a safety mechanism not a limitation."
Always answering is a liability. SCOPE stops instead of guessing.
Models should not run the system.
SCOPE makes a hard separation. This is the architectural line most tools never draw.
The Model
- Reasons
- Analyzes
- Explains
The System
- Decides
- Enforces
- Executes
Honest about AI.
Yes SCOPE uses cloud models (like Gemini). That’s intentional. But the model does not explore your repo. It does not choose files freely.
SCOPE uses cloud models
but never cloud control.
Model Agnostic.
SCOPE is built to outlive any single model. Bring your own API key. Swap models without changing behavior.
Models are replaceable.
Architecture isn't.
