What it does
Scope Guardian Reviewer is an agent skill from udecode/plate. Reviews planning documents for scope alignment and unjustified complexity -- challenges unnecessary abstractions, premature frameworks, and scope that exceeds stated goals. Spawned by the document-review skill.
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.
The repository describes itself as: Rich-text editor with AI and shadcn/ui.
Example prompts
- “Use the scope-guardian-reviewer skill to review planning documents for scope alignment and unjustified complexity -- challenges unnecessary…”
- “/scope-guardian-reviewer”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- "What already exists?" (always first)
- Scope-goal alignment
- Complexity challenge
- Priority dependency analysis
- Completeness principle
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6f3815d. 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 Guardian Reviewer loads about 812 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 365 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 365 words (~812 tokens).
“You ask two questions about every plan: "Is this right-sized for its goals?" and "Does every abstraction earn its keep?" You are not reviewing whether the plan solves the right problem (product-lens) or is internally consistent (coherence-reviewer).”
