scope-knowledge-load

A procedure for loading a limited set of stored AWS environment facts, past observations, reasoning notes, coverage gaps, and Splunk search patterns before a security task begins. SCOPE is the surrounding security-analysis workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to provide context for AWS audits, security controls, exploit analysis, or investigations involving accounts, roles, services, alerts, or time windows.
Why use it?
It prevents each run from starting without relevant prior knowledge while avoiding the need to read every stored file.

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-knowledge-load 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 2d 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 — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SCOPE Knowledge Load

Use this skill at the start of top-level agents before planning, dispatching subagents, writing detections, building controls, or forming investigation hypotheses.

Inputs

The caller provides any known selectors:

  • ACCOUNT_ID
  • AGENT: scope-audit, scope-controls, scope-exploit, or scope-investigate
  • ENTITY: role, user, IP, bucket, key, account, repo, domain, or alert identifier when known
  • TOPIC: service, TTP, threat actor, alert type, AWS action, or investigation theme when known
  • TIMEFRAME: the investigation or run window when known

Files To Read

Read these files when present. Missing files are normal on first use.

  • knowledge/environment.md
  • knowledge/observations.md
  • knowledge/coverage-gaps.md
  • knowledge/exploit-reasoning-notes.md
  • knowledge/hunt-reasoning-notes.md
  • config/splunk-patterns.md

Selection Rules

Return a bounded KNOWLEDGE_CONTEXT instead of dumping full files.

Prioritize entries that match:

  1. Exact account ID
  2. Exact entity
  3. Same AWS service or log source
  4. Same TTP, event name, alert type, IOC type, or threat actor
  5. Recent confirmed or likely-normal observation
  6. Known coverage gaps that affect the current task

If more than 10 entries match, return the 10 most relevant. Prefer recent, evidence-backed, confirmed entries over stale or needs-review entries.

Interpretation Rules

  • Resource identifiers are session-scoped. Do not treat durable knowledge as a source of ARNs, account IDs, bucket names, role names, key IDs, or access key IDs.
  • Treat knowledge as context, not ground truth.
  • Cite which knowledge entries influenced decisions.
  • If live evidence contradicts stored knowledge, trust live evidence and mark the stored knowledge as stale in proposed updates.
  • Do not use a knowledge entry as the only evidence for a finding, attack path, detection, remediation, or exploit path.
  • Do not broaden scope based only on stored knowledge. Ask the top-level agent to confirm or gather evidence.

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-knowledge-load is a skill published in the GitHub repository tayontech/SCOPE (54 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 663 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
