pm-scope-brief

pm-scope-brief is a skill for Claude Code from ljucask/pureinn-product-development. It costs 110 tokens per session (3,283 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A scope-definition skill that turns an already-approved project mandate into a precise document describing what will be built, for whom, under which constraints, and how completion will be judged.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for commissioned builds or executive-directed projects to prepare a development kickoff document and settle the initial scope before execution.
Why use it?
It replaces vague build instructions with a shared definition of the work. It also makes the included, excluded, and deferred parts of the first release explicit for review.

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

pm-scope-brief 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 12d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 262 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PM - Scope Brief

Agent mode (--agent)

Supports --agent: runs autonomously in a subagent, drafts the artifact from existing inputs, and returns a short summary + coverage note.

  • No flag → interactive (default); if inputs are heavy, offer agent mode.
  • --agent → obey. First check inputs are complete. Anything missing: do NOT invent it - mark [ASSUMED - what/why] in the output and summary. Never hallucinate to fill a gap.
  • Review required: the artifact contains commitments - the IN/OUT/DEFERRED scope cut is decided here for the first time. After drafting, require the user's review before finalizing; never close scope decisions autonomously.

What this skill does

Turns converged discovery into a definition: what exactly gets built. Written for whoever executes - you, your dev team, your employer - and precise enough to run a dev kickoff call from. It is the document a developer reads instead of "make it like company XY".

When Scope Brief, when PRD: both fill the same Phase 3b exit slot - pick one.

Situation Document
Mandate already given: a client commissioned it, an exec directed it, the decision to build is made Scope Brief (this skill). Phase 3a validation and business-model work would re-answer a question that's already answered.
Speculative product: you're deciding whether/what to build, market risk is yours PRD via full Phase 3a + 3b (/pm-prd). Skipping validation there is skipping your own risk management.

Context fit check (surface before generating): if no committed mandate exists - nobody has decided this gets built - say so: "Scope Brief presumes a given mandate. For a speculative product, /pm-hypotheses/pm-prd is the honest path. Proceed anyway?"

Downstream contract: the Business Capabilities section of this document is a named interface - /pm-entity-registry extracts entities from it and /pm-features-list derives the feature inventory from it, exactly as they do from PRD Section 7. Everything else in the brief supports that core.

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.
