claude-vibe-squad: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/scope-estimation/SKILL.md

scope-estimation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mtarcure/claude-vibe-squad. It costs 70 tokens per session (404 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning aid for measuring how much of a collection of files or documents can be examined. It separates items that can be fully read from those that need sampling or only a list-based review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before reviewing a repository, document set, or other corpus to measure its size, set review limits, choose review levels, and report coverage with clear totals.
Why use it?
It prevents broad claims about coverage when time, tools, or context limit the review. It also keeps the counts behind those claims visible.

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-estimation 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 7d 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 Estimation

Measure the corpus before analyzing it, so the retrieval plan and the confidence claims are sized to what was actually read rather than to what was sampled.

Steps

  1. Count the corpus before opening it: number of files, total bytes, and the largest single file. An analysis plan written before this count is a guess.
  2. Convert size to a budget in the units that actually bind — context window, tool calls, and wall-clock — and state which one binds first.
  3. Classify the corpus into read-fully, sample, and index-only tiers. Record the rule used to assign each tier, not just the assignment.
  4. Declare the sampling fraction per tier as a number. "Reviewed the codebase" is not a scope statement; "read 34 of 210 files, all 9 entry points" is.
  5. Identify what the chosen tiers structurally cannot answer, and say so before the analysis rather than after a reader asks.
  6. Re-measure when the corpus grows mid-task. A scope claim inherited from an earlier, smaller corpus is stale and silently overstates coverage.
  7. Carry the final numbers into the deliverable so every conclusion inherits an explicit denominator.

Acceptance

  • File count, total size, and largest-file size are stated as measured numbers.
  • The binding budget is named, and the tier assignment rule is written down.
  • Sampling fractions appear as counts with denominators, never as adjectives.
  • The deliverable names at least one question the chosen scope cannot answer.
  • No coverage claim exceeds the measured read set.

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.

scope-estimation is a skill published in the GitHub repository mtarcure/claude-vibe-squad (90 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 70 tokens to every session and 404 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. 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.
