What happened
PR #4 (link) was a docs-only change adding CONTRIBUTING.md. The code agent produced good output, but added a "Running the project locally" section (lines 20–25) that was not in the acceptance criteria from issue #3. The review agent flagged this as [scope-creep-minor] at severity low. The repo currently has no CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, or .claude/ directory. All agent roles are enabled (triage, coder, review, fix, retro, prioritize) via .fullsend/config.yaml, indicating this repo will see ongoing agent activity.
What could go better
The code agent went slightly beyond the acceptance criteria by adding content the issue didn't request. While the addition was helpful and the review agent correctly flagged it as minor, this pattern could lead to more significant scope creep on complex tasks. Without a CLAUDE.md, agents have no repo-specific guidance on conventions, scope behavior, or development patterns. For this simple docs task the impact was negligible, but as the repo grows and receives more complex issues, agents will lack context about project structure, testing expectations, and coding conventions. Confidence: moderate — this is a proactive improvement rather than a response to a failure. The risk is low and the benefit scales with repo complexity.
Proposed change
Create a CLAUDE.md file at the repository root with sections covering: (1) project overview (Node.js REST API for task management, zero external dependencies, uses built-in node:http, node:test, node:assert), (2) directory structure (src/index.js — HTTP server, src/store.js — in-memory TaskStore, src/store.test.js — unit tests), (3) development commands (npm start, npm test, npm run dev), (4) coding conventions (no external dependencies, use Node.js built-ins only), and (5) scope guidance (stick to acceptance criteria from issues; additions beyond the spec should be noted in the PR description). This gives agents the context they need to produce well-scoped, convention-aligned code on the first attempt.
Validation criteria
After CLAUDE.md is added: (1) the next 3 code agent runs on this repo should not trigger scope-creep findings from the review agent, and (2) code agent PRs should follow the documented conventions (e.g., no external dependency additions, correct test patterns). Verify by checking review agent findings on the next 3 PRs for scope-creep flags.
