Scope

by jsmastery-pro · 4K installs

The skill

Scope turns a product idea into a living, coarse plan in docs/scope/ and keeps it current: plan a product or next slice, enroll a feature, or reconcile after shipping and queue what is next.

Only when you ask.

The habit

The scope stays honest after shipping.

↻ Runs by itselfa slice ships

How the habit works.
You don't have to.

Three questionsWhen does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?

01

It starts by itself

a slice ships. Runs in Claude Code routine.

  • ↻ a slice ships
  • after a feature merges

02

It checks its work

scope matches reality. If a check fails, it tells you.

  • ✓every feature row has a status
  • ✓code or specs with no scope row are surfaced as drift
  • ✓no tool, library or provider is named in the scope

03

It remembers

scope file. The next run reads it first: the At a glance table, feature statuses and in-progress resume points.

docs/scope/scope.md

One run, step by step.
Then it stops.

Stop ruleStops after one reconcile pass per run.

  1. 01

    Read where things stand

    Open with git branch, ahead/behind, feature counts by status and each in-progress resume point.

  2. 02

    Reconcile shipped work

    Update feature statuses to match what actually shipped.

  3. 03

    Surface drift

    Flag code or specs that have no scope row.

  4. 04

    Enroll new features

    Add coarse rows for needs surfaced during the build, with intent, order and tier.

  5. 05

    Queue the next slice

    Reorder and mark which features need a spec first.

  6. 06

    Stay tool-agnostic

    Mark any feature implying a tool choice as needs a decision, never naming the tool.

What it may do.
Nothing more.

Safe by defaultIt writes only in its own folder and asks you before anything goes out.

Is it for you?
Use it when it fits.

Quick checkRead both lists. If the left one sounds like you, the Scope skill helps.

Use it when

  • ✓ You plan a new product
  • ✓ You queue the next slice
  • ✓ You reconcile the plan after shipping

Skip it when

  • – You want to design one feature
  • – You want to write build tasks

Questions

Scope skill, answered.

Does it design or build features?

No. It seeds what to build and in what order; architect designs and develop builds.

Does it pick tools?

No. A feature implying a tool choice is marked needs a decision, to keep the scope from rotting.
