scope-and-blockers

scope-and-blockers is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lubochka/xiigen-general-skills. It costs 25 tokens per session (182 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A scope-checking method for work with broad requirements, unclear details, missing information, or blockers. It records what is included, excluded, assumed, and preventing progress.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define project boundaries, document assumptions, identify dependencies, explain blockers, and state which items were skipped.
Why use it?
It reduces silent changes to the task and makes limitations visible. This helps work continue safely when reasonable assumptions are possible.

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

scope-and-blockers 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 11d 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

Scope And Blockers

Purpose

Keep scope and blockers explicit.

When to Use

Use when requirements are broad, ambiguous, or blocked by missing information.

Inputs

User request, plan, constraints, assumptions, dependencies.

Steps

  1. Define in-scope work.
  2. Define out-of-scope work.
  3. List blockers and their impact.
  4. Continue with safe assumptions when possible.

Gates

No hidden expansion of scope; blockers are visible.

Evidence

Plan, issue list, or final response names skipped and blocked items.

Anti-Patterns

Silently changing the goal; stopping early without naming the blocker.

assumption-registry, goal-delivery-completeness

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.
