What it does

Scope is an agent skill from suboss87/FDEOps. Assess a new customer request against agreed scope, trade-offs and ownership. Use when an engagement expands or a custom feature needs a commitment decision.

Its SKILL.md is about 340 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `.fde-generated.json`, `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/hold-scope.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Forward deployed engineering skills for AI coding agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • An engagement expands
  • A custom feature needs a commitment decision

Example prompts

  • “/scope”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the task context contract.
  2. Read the method.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 64d1d8a. 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.

Context cost

Scope loads about 339 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 142 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~339
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.8k

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.

scope

<!-- Generated by bin/generate-skills.js; edit the canonical references and catalog. -->

Purpose

A scope decision with trade-offs and ownership.

Before investigating or acting:

  1. Read the task context contract.
  2. Read the method.

Load further references only when the task needs them. Everything linked is included in this skill; no other skill pack is required.

Principles

  • Work directly from the supplied permitted context. Standalone work does not require an engagement folder or initialization. Record filenames in the method are optional persistence destinations when no engagement is bound.
  • If called by @fde, reuse its current sanitized packet and scope. Do not restart setup, discovery or questions already answered.
  • The task context contract controls persistence and authority in both modes. Preserve unknowns and distinguish implementation, verification, deployment and acceptance.
  • Use the customer's repository instructions and available tools. Report a missing capability or unrun check honestly; do not claim that installing a skill provisions infrastructure.
