goga-define-scope

goga-define-scope is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from qarium/goga. It costs 6 tokens per session (1,393 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

A scope-definition skill that sets the boundaries of a product change. It records what is included, what is excluded, and what should be left for later.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to establish clear in-scope and out-of-scope boundaries before implementation begins.
Why use it?
It helps prevent scope creep, where a project gradually expands beyond its original purpose. It also checks that the defined work is enough to solve the identified problem.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Memory Poisoning · line 12
    Skill manipulates agent memory, state, or stored context. Memory corruption can alter personality, override safety rules, or cause unpredictable behavior.
    Fix: Protect agent memory and state from modification by untrusted content. Use read-only memory for critical instructions and validate all state changes.
  • low Excessive Agency · line 159
    Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.
    Fix: Limit the skill's scope to its documented purpose. Remove instructions that enable the agent to perform actions outside its stated functionality.

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

goga-define-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 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.

Purpose

Define the boundaries of the product change.

Transform the established problem, goals, requirements, and constraints into a clear statement of:

  • what is included in the current solution;
  • what is explicitly excluded;
  • what should not be solved as part of this change.

The result must protect the product work from scope creep while ensuring that everything necessary to solve the identified problem remains inside the scope.


Contract

consume:
  - product
  - problem
  - goals
  - requirements
  - constraints

produce:
  - scope

Core Principle

Scope is a boundary, not a feature list.

The central question is:

What must be part of this product change to solve the problem, and what deliberately remains outside it?

Scope must be derived from the problem and goals.

Do not define scope based on what happens to be technically convenient or interesting.


Product Interview

Scope boundaries are product decisions.

Do not infer what belongs in or out of scope solely from implementation convenience.

Interview the user when the boundary between the current change and adjacent functionality is materially ambiguous.

Clarify when necessary:

  • which user scenarios are part of the current change;
  • which related scenarios should remain unchanged;
  • whether an adjacent workflow should be modified;
  • what is intentionally deferred;
  • what the minimum complete solution is.

Do not automatically include related functionality merely because it would be convenient to change it at the same time.


Process

1. Define the required scope

Identify everything that is necessary to solve the problem and achieve the established goals.

Consider:

  • essential user scenarios;
  • required product behaviour;
  • required states;
  • necessary user roles;
  • necessary supporting behaviour;
  • constraints that require additional product behaviour.

If removing something would prevent the product from solving the problem, it belongs in scope.

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.

goga-define-scope is a skill published in the GitHub repository qarium/goga (29 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed BSD-3-Clause. It adds 6 tokens to every session and 1,393 once invoked, about $0.0000 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 2026-09-03.
