Analysis of vibetools vs product scope across all gv schemas with recommendation for single-flow model
Output
Scope Analysis: Single-Flow Model
Current Scope Usage Across Schemas
| Schema | Has Scope? | Values | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kontask | ✅ Yes | product | vibetools | Filter dashboard cards |
| Topic | ✅ Yes | product | vibetools | both | Lifecycle phases |
| Domain | ❌ No | N/A | Tech areas are universal |
| Decision | ⚠️ Different | turn | flow | project | org | Impact level, not area |
| Flow | ✅ Yes | product | vibetools | Work area filter |
| Edge | ❌ No | N/A | Relationships are agnostic |
The Single-Flow Problem
Current Reality: In practice, you work on one thing at a time.
With only one active flow, the product/vibetools distinction at the flow level is redundant—you already know what you're working on.
Where Scope Still Matters
✅ Kontasks — Filtering dashboard by work area (show me product kontasks only)
✅ Topics — Some lifecycle phases are more relevant to one scope (e.g., "Roadmap" is product-focused)
⚪ Domains — Correctly have no scope (Frontend applies to both)
⚠️ Flows — Scope is useful for historical queries ("show me all product flows") but not active filtering
⚪ Decisions — Uses impact scope (turn/flow/project), not area scope—correct design
💡 Recommended Solution
Option A: Keep Scope, Simplify Usage (Recommended)
- Keep scope on Kontask — Primary filter dimension for the dashboard
- Keep scope on Flow — For historical queries and reporting, but don't require it on creation
- Simplify Topics to
both— All 12 lifecycle topics apply universally; remove per-topic scope - No scope on Domains — Keep as-is, technical areas are universal
- Rename Decision scope — Call it
impactScopeto distinguish from area scope
Option B: Remove Scope Entirely
- Use tags instead of scope for filtering
- Single source of truth, more flexible
- Migration required for existing kontasks
Option C: Scope as Flow Property Only
- Only flows have scope
- Kontasks/Topics/Decisions inherit scope from their parent flow
- Simplest model, but requires flow context always available
Implementation Changes for Option A
// 1. Topics: Remove scope, all apply to both interface GvTopic { id: string; name: string; // scope: removed - all topics apply universally keywords: string[]; } // 2. Decision: Rename scope to impactScope for clarity interface GvDecision { impactScope: "turn" | "flow" | "project" | "organization"; // Clear distinction from area scope } // 3. Flow: Make scope optional (inferred from kontask if not set) interface GvFlow { scope?: "product" | "vibetools"; // Optional - useful for queries, not required }
Summary: Scope (product/vibetools) remains useful for filtering and reporting but not for active flow management. Keep it on Kontask (primary filter), make it optional on Flow, remove from Topics (they're universal), and rename Decision's scope to impactScope for clarity.
