Opportunities — the stories that would move this product's scores, from its own judged verdictsOpportunitiestop 8 of 56 stories with headroom

What would move YYLO’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. Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productPlug MCP servers into this product so it can use their tools

    nonemoves agent-readyimpact 45

    YYLO's docs describe orchestrating coding agents, ledgers, workflows, and an 'open-standard path' for skills, but no evidence anywhere mentions MCP servers or a mechanism to plug in MCP tools for the agents it orchestrates.

  2. Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productConnect an agent via an official MCP server

    nonemoves agent-readyimpact 45

    YYLO is a CLI orchestrator for coding agents/workflows, and as such platform-type product it could plausibly ship an official MCP server for other agents to connect to, but no evidence pack item mentions MCP at all (only 'open-standard' skills installation, ledger, workflow-runner, etc.).

  3. 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

    Evidence describes YYLO's task lifecycle (init, start, preflight read-only, finish queuing a candidate, merge land) but nothing indicates the agent produces an implementation plan that a developer reviews and approves before any code is written — preflight/checks occur on already-produced work, not a pre-code plan gate.

  4. Review quality gates — quality gates on changes — review flow, required checks, merge protectionHave every pull request automatically reviewed with AI-generated inline comments

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    YYLO's own docs describe it as a CLI orchestrator for coding-agent tasks, workflows, and receipt-backed merges — not a PR-review tool.

  5. Review quality gates — quality gates on changes — review flow, required checks, merge protectionHave failed CI workflows automatically diagnosed and fixed with a proposed pull request

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    YYLO is a CLI orchestrator for coding agents/workflows with kanban, ledger, and merge tooling, but nothing in the evidence pack mentions CI workflow failure detection, diagnosis, or auto-generating a fix PR from a failing CI run.

  6. 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

    The evidence pack covers task orchestration, kanban ledgers, merge protections, and workflow runners, but nowhere describes a context/conventions file that agents read to generate more relevant plans or code.

  7. Repo integration — stories about repo integration in this arenaConnect a GitHub repository so an agent can access the code and open pull requests against it

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    Evidence shows YYLO operates on local git worktrees/branches and has an internal 'merge land' step, and can pull GitHub issues into its kanban, but there is no evidence of connecting a GitHub repository as a remote and having the agent open pull requests against it — the merge feature explicitly stays local/internal with no GitHub PR API integration mentioned.

  8. Review quality gates — quality gates on changes — review flow, required checks, merge protectionReview a diff of an agent's changes and approve it before it becomes a pull request

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    Docs describe worktrees, candidate branches, and a 'merge land' step, but nowhere is there evidence of a diff-review UI or an explicit developer approval gate before a pull request is opened; in fact merge is described as launching 'no models, no reviewers' and reviews are called 'explicit project checks outside merge', with no PR-creation flow documented at all.
