What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps prevent project bloat and maintain focus by providing frameworks to evaluate whether a project has outgrown its useful boundaries, needs splitting, or is experiencing scope creep.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Scope Health Checklist: Assess project cohesion across dimensions like mission, audience, and deployment.
• Feature Belonging Test: Determine if a new feature aligns with the project's core purpose or should be extracted.
• Scope Creep Detection: Identify early warning signs of uncontrolled project expansion.
• Split-vs-Keep Framework: Guide decisions on whether to split a project or refactor internally.
• Use Case: During an architecture review, use the Scope Health Checklist to identify if a project has become too broad and then apply the Feature Belonging Test to a proposed new feature to see if it fits or should be a separate service.

Quick Start

Use the code-scope-boundaries skill to run the scope health checklist for the current project.
