What it does
Refine Scope is an agent skill from digipulse-engineering/GAAI-framework. Iteratively refine Discovery artefacts (plans, epics, stories) when feedback, ambiguity, or uncertainty is detected. Activate when artefacts are incomplete, acceptance criteria are missing, or human feedback highlights gaps.
Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Works with any filesystem-based AI coding agent
It sits in Product & Project Management, covering User stories. The repository describes itself as: Turns AI coding tools into reliable software delivery systems. Drop a .gaai/ folder into any project — Discovery defines what to build, Delivery executes autonomously until…
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve User stories
Example prompts
- “/refine-scope”
Requirements
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Works with any filesystem-based AI coding agent
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Load relevant context (artefacts + partial plan + memory)
- Identify gaps, contradictions, or missing acceptance criteria
- For each numbered feedback item: (a) identify the target artefact field or section, (b) apply the feedback as a direct modification to…
- Adjust scope, acceptance criteria, or artefact structure
- Produce a refined Discovery plan or refined artefacts
- Verify that all modified fields still comply with the Quality Checks below. If a field fails, mark it for re-refinement in the next…
- Stop when all feedback items from Step 3 have been applied and all modified fields pass the Quality Checks. If any feedback item cannot be…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a26ea7a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Compatibility
Works with any filesystem-based AI coding agent
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Refine Scope loads about 809 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 281 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 281 words (~809 tokens).
