Quick Start

Get up and running with Scope in minutes.

Prerequisites

To use Scope, you need a GitHub or GitLab account with at least one repository. Scope works with any language and framework — Ruby, Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust, and more.

1. Create your account

Sign up at within-scope.com/sign-up. You get a free tier with 200K tokens to explore everything Scope offers — codebase analysis, ticket generation, and MCP integration.

2. Create a project

From the dashboard, click New Project. Give it a name and an optional description. This is where all your feature specs, tickets, and codebase context will live.

3. Connect your repository

Go to your project settings and connect a GitHub or GitLab repo. Scope will:

  • Analyze your project structure automatically
  • Map data models, features, and relationships
  • Detect your tech stack, frameworks, and patterns
  • Build a searchable model of your project — without storing any source code

Privacy note: Scope extracts metadata (data model names, properties, feature paths, relationships) but never stores your source code. See Connect Your Repo for details.

4. Describe a feature

Use the project wizard or the Ask feature to describe what you want to build in plain English. Scope maps your description to existing code, asks clarifying questions, and identifies gaps.

5. Generate tickets

Once requirements are clear, generate implementation-ready tickets. Each ticket includes:

  • Real file paths to create or modify
  • Data models with complete structure
  • Acceptance criteria
  • Dependency ordering
  • Database changes when needed
