Opportunities — the stories that would move this product's scores, from its own judged verdictsOpportunitiestop 8 of 52 stories with headroom

What would move Codegen’s scores — derived from its own judged verdicts, biggest headroom first. Each line quotes what the judge found missing; shipping it (or evidencing it publicly) is the fix.

  1. Intent to spec — stories about intent to spec in this arenaReview and approve an agent's implementation plan before any code changes are made

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    Missing: any mention of a plan/preview mode, approval gate, or dry-run step before code execution.

  2. Repo integration — stories about repo integration in this arenaAdd a context file describing my codebase conventions so agents generate more relevant plans and code

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    Missing: any mention of a context/config file for codebase conventions, documentation on custom instructions, or repo-level rules ingestion.

  3. Openness — open source, data portability, and self-hosting storiesExport all of my data in open formats and leave

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    No evidence of a bulk data-export feature, open-format export of agent histories/traces, or account-portability tooling; only partial building blocks exist (pulling agent branches via CLI, retrieving traces via API) but nothing documenting a full data export/exit path.

  4. Openness — open source, data portability, and self-hosting storiesSelf-host the core product

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    Codegen is presented as a cloud-hosted SaaS agent platform (GitHub App, Slack App, cloud CLI/SDK, hosted API); no evidence of any self-hosted deployment option, on-prem package, or open-source core repository.

  5. Privacy posture — data-handling and privacy storiesPrevent my data from being used to train AI models

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    No evidence in the pack addresses data-training opt-out, privacy controls, or policies about AI model training usage; all citations concern feature functionality (agents, CLI, SDK, integrations) rather than privacy posture.

  6. Human oversight — keeping a human in the loop — approvals, checkpoints, interruptsSet tiered autonomy levels controlling what an agent can do without manual confirmation

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    No evidence describes configurable autonomy tiers, approval gates, or permission levels for agent actions; the docs describe what agents can do (code, PRs, Slack, Jira/Linear) but nothing about setting graduated confirmation thresholds for an engineering lead to control autonomy.

  7. Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productIssue scoped/least-privilege API credentials for an agent

    nonemoves agent-readyimpact 30

    Missing: any mention of scoped API keys, permission levels, or restricted-access tokens for agents.

  8. Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productSubscribe to events via webhooks

    nonemoves agent-readyimpact 30

    No evidence in the pack mentions webhooks or event-subscription mechanisms; only SDK/API polling, CI/CD triggers, and integrations (Slack, Linear, Jira) are documented, none of which describe webhook subscriptions.
