# SCOPE

## One-liner

Nudge Space is the peripheral registry of hunches that are worth remembering
and should not become tasks.

## Core Idea

Participants drop semi-structured notes in a `nudges/` folder inside the
repository where the hunch was encountered. Nudge Space is the concept and,
later, the Forgejo-backed search and topic heatmap over those folders. The
collection is the earliest layer of value and product discovery: before an
intake, and outside the work-record backbone.

The concept is `docs/concept_v0.1.md`. The reason the repository exists is
`INTENT.md`.

## In Scope

- The meaning of a nudge, and the line between a nudge and a work record.
- The participant convention: a top-level `nudges/` folder of one-file Markdown notes.
- The minimum file shape that later search and clustering can read.
- Registration of this repository with State Hub.
- A future read-only ingest of `nudges/` through Forgejo, and an exploration space over the result, once someone deliberately promotes that work.

## Out of Scope

- Turning a nudge into a task, intake, or workplan from inside this repository.
- Ranking, assigning, estimating, or scheduling parked hunches.
- Editing participant repositories. The source of a nudge stays where it was written.
- Decisions, canon, and product design. Those belong to the repository that picks a theme up.
- A new credential lane for Forgejo. The reader uses access the estate already has.

## Current State

- Status: concept established, 2026-10-04. The convention is specified. The Forgejo reader and the heatmap are named and unbuilt.
- Category: research. The repository holds the discovery collection and its concept. It is not yet a deployable tool.
- Domain: infotech, because the registry is an internal instrument for participants of this estate. Agents are a secondary domain, as participants. Market sectors are not.

## Getting Oriented

- Start with: `INTENT.md`
- Concept: `docs/concept_v0.1.md`
- Participant folder: `nudges/README.md`
- Agent instructions: `AGENTS.md`
- Workplans: `workplans/`
