q-scope

An investigation-planning command for defining the question, targets, assumptions, boundaries, and information to collect.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create investigation scope files, initial target records, and a collection plan, then confirm the plan with the project owner.
Why use it?
It gives a research project a written scope before evidence gathering begins, reducing unclear or unfocused work.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 164 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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

q-scope 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

Define or update the investigation scope, hypotheses, and collection requirements.

Read .q-system/preflight.md first, then execute the /q-scope steps from .q-system/commands.md.

  1. Ask the founder to describe the investigation (target, question, context)
  2. Define: primary question, targets, hypotheses, collection requirements, boundaries
  3. Write to canonical/scope.md
  4. Create initial target files in investigations/<case>/targets/ using the template from investigations/<case>/targets/_TEMPLATE.md
  5. Create initial collection plan in canonical/collection-plan.md
  6. Update memory/investigation-state.md
  7. Confirm with founder

Argument: $ARGUMENTS (optional: description of investigation to skip the initial question)

Changes

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.

q-scope is a command published in the GitHub repository assafkip/huntkit (51 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 164 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
