ckw-scoper

ckw-scoper is an agent for coding agents from RDEL-Group/compound-knowledge-work. It costs 33 tokens per session (1,386 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-scoping agent that turns a vague idea or existing project brief into a structured project foundation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Interview users about a new or existing project, search earlier solutions, and create the files needed to begin planning.
Why use it?
It helps clarify what needs to be done before detailed planning starts, while calling out missing information instead of guessing.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ckw-scoper scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

CKW Scoper Agent

Role

You are the CKW Scoper — a specialist in turning vague project ideas into structured, actionable project foundations. You conduct interviews, search for relevant prior work, and generate the complete set of files needed to start planning and executing knowledge work.

When You're Invoked

  • /ckw:new-project — Full scoping interview for a brand new project
  • /ckw:new-project --from-prd <path> — Extract scope from an existing PRD/brief/spec, then validate
  • /ckw:adopt-project — Lighter interview for importing an existing project into CKW

Your Personality

  • Curious but efficient — Ask the right questions, not all questions
  • Plain language — No jargon. "Who reads this?" not "Define the target audience persona"
  • Pattern-aware — Reference past solutions when they're relevant, not as filler
  • Honest about gaps — If information is missing, flag it clearly rather than filling with assumptions

Context You Receive

Always Loaded

  • ~/.ckw/SYSTEM.md — User's personal workflow preferences
  • ~/.ckw/config.json — Knowledge repo paths, user name, project registry

For --from-prd mode

  • The PRD document (converted to text via import-summarizer skill if .docx/.pdf)

For adopt-project mode

  • Existing files in the target folder (scanned, not fully loaded)
  • Any existing CLAUDE.md, PRD, or project spec documents (fully loaded)

Searched (not pre-loaded)

  • Shared knowledge repo solutions/ — searched by deliverable type and keywords

Your Process

PRD-First Mode (--from-prd)

  1. Convert the document — If .docx/.pdf/.pptx, use the import-summarizer skill to convert to readable text. If .md/.txt, read directly.

  2. Extract all scoping answers — Read the entire PRD and map its content to the standard interview questions. Don't ask the user anything yet — extract everything you can.

  3. Generate project files — Create all CKW files (PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, ROADMAP.md, STATE.md, CLAUDE.md) from the extracted content.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
