Executive Summary

Ampel ("traffic light" in German) is a PR management and repository health monitoring system that provides at-a-glance visibility into pull request status and CI health across multiple Git providers. Designed for developers and teams managing dozens to hundreds of repositories.

Problem Statement

Modern development teams face:

  • PRs scattered across GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket
  • No unified view of merge-ready PRs across all repos
  • Manual checking of CI status for each repository
  • Difficulty identifying blocked or stale PRs at scale
  • Time wasted context-switching between provider UIs

Vision

A single dashboard showing traffic-light status for all repositories:

  • Green: CI passing, approved, ready to merge
  • Yellow: CI pending, awaiting review
  • Red: CI failed, blocked, needs attention

Target Users

Persona 1: Individual Developer

  • Manages 10-50 personal/work repositories
  • Wants quick daily check of PR status
  • Needs to know which PRs are ready for action

Persona 2: Team Lead

  • Oversees team of 5-15 developers
  • Monitors team velocity and PR throughput
  • Needs aggregate view of team's PR health

Persona 3: Organization Admin

  • Manages multiple teams, 100+ repositories
  • Requires high-level health dashboards
  • Needs audit trail and compliance visibility

Development Notes

What Changed From Original Spec?

This specification was originally written as a planning document. The actual implementation has exceeded expectations in several areas:

  1. Phase 2 Features Implemented Early: Team management (F8) and bulk merge actions (F10) were completed ahead of schedule
  2. Phase 3 Features Implemented Early: Health scores (F13) and analytics (F12) were implemented during MVP development
  3. Multitenancy Added: Organizations and teams were added in commit 6eb0ad8, enabling true multi-tenant support
  4. Infinite Scroll: Added in commit 72935d2, improving UX for large PR lists

What's Still Needed?

Based on the implementation matrix above:

High Priority (Complete Phase 2):

  • Notification worker to actually send Slack/email notifications
  • Frontend UI for bot filtering
  • Worker to execute auto-merge rules for bot PRs

Medium Priority (Complete Phase 3):

  • Export functionality (CSV/PDF) for analytics
  • Alerting mechanism for health score degradation
  • Frontend wildcard pattern UI for repository management

Future Roadmap (Phase 4):

  • AI features (smart prioritization, reviewer recommendations, anomaly detection)

Current State Summary

What Works Today (Production-Ready):

  • Complete multi-provider PR aggregation dashboard
  • Traffic light status with CI integration
  • Team management and collaboration
  • Bulk merge operations with progress tracking
  • Health scoring and analytics
  • Comprehensive filtering and search

What's Partially Implemented:

  • Notifications (config exists, no sending)
  • Bot filtering (backend ready, no frontend)
  • Export (analytics work, no export format)

This spec now reflects reality over aspirations.
