Ideas catalog (docs/ideas/): 25 feature concept documents covering future lore capabilities including bottleneck detection, churn analysis, expert scoring, collaboration patterns, milestone risk, knowledge silos, and more. Each doc includes motivation, implementation sketch, data requirements, and dependencies on existing infrastructure. README.md provides an overview and SYSTEM-PROPOSAL.md presents the unified analytics vision. Plans (plans/): Time-decay expert scoring design with four rounds of review feedback exploring decay functions, scoring algebra, and integration points with the existing who-expert pipeline. Issue doc (docs/issues/001): Documents the timeline pipeline bug where EntityRef was missing project context, causing ambiguous cross-project references during the EXPAND stage.

Gitlore Feature Ideas
Central registry of potential features. Each idea leverages data already ingested into the local SQLite database (issues, MRs, discussions, notes, resource events, entity references, embeddings, file changes).
Priority Tiers
Tier 1 — High confidence, low effort, immediate value:
| # | Idea | File | Confidence |

| 9 | Similar Issues Finder | similar-issues.md | 95% |
| 17 | "What Changed?" Digest | digest.md | 93% |
| 5 | Who Knows About X? | experts.md | 92% |
| -- | Multi-Project Ergonomics | project-ergonomics.md | 90% |
| 27 | Weekly Digest Generator | weekly-digest.md | 90% |
| 4 | Stale Discussion Finder | stale-discussions.md | 90% |
Tier 2 — Strong ideas, moderate effort:
| # | Idea | File | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| 19 | MR-to-Issue Closure Gap | closure-gaps.md | 88% |
| 1 | Contributor Heatmap | contributors.md | 88% |
| 21 | Knowledge Silo Detection | silos.md | 87% |
| 2 | Review Bottleneck Detector | bottlenecks.md | 85% |

| 16 | Idle Work Detector | idle.md | 73% |
| 8 | MR Churn Analysis | churn.md | 72% |
| 15 | Author Collaboration Network | collaboration.md | 70% |
| 28 | DiffNote Coverage Map | review-coverage.md | 75% |
| 25 | MR Pipeline Efficiency | mr-pipeline.md | 78% |
Rejected Ideas (with reasons)
| # | Idea | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | Sprint Burndown from Labels | Too opinionated about label semantics |
| 11 | Code Review Quality Score | Subjective "quality" scoring creates perverse incentives |
| 13 | Discussion Sentiment Drift | Unreliable heuristic sentiment on technical text |
| 20 | Response Time Leaderboard | Toxic "leaderboard" framing; metric folded into #2 |
| 22 | Timeline Diff | Niche use case; timeline already interleaves events |
| 23 | Discussion Thread Summarizer | Requires LLM inference; out of scope for local-first tool |
| 30 | NL Query Interface | Over-engineered; existing filters cover this |
How to use this list
- Pick an idea from Tier 1 or Tier 2
- Read its detail file for implementation plan and SQL sketches
- Create a bead (
br create) referencing the idea file - Implement following TDD (test first, then minimal impl)
- Update the idea file with
status: implementedwhen done
