Scope Check

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: general-misc  ·  Last updated:
Mid-task scope mirror. Use when the user says "scope check", "am I scope creeping", "how big has this gotten", "check the scope", or asks about the size of current work. Also use proactively when you notice the work has grown significantly beyond the original ask.

From the source SKILL.md

Hold up a mirror — compare the original task intent to the actual work done. Present data, not judgment.

What this skill does

Scope Check is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/scope-check/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when the user says "scope check", "am I scope creeping", "how big has this gotten", "check the scope", or asks about the size of current work. Also use proactively when you notice the work has grown significantly beyond the original ask.

Who uses this skill

The Scope Check Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 70,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
