What Scoped Change does

Scoped Change helps locate the exact boundary of a requested edit and keep changes inert outside it. Use it when scope is ambiguous, related edits may be implied, or a compatibility path or parallel implementation might be unnecessary.

Scoped Change is cataloged under Quality on DirSkills. Scoped Change comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, agents-md, ai-agents, ai-coding and claude-code.

Documentation

README

Scoped Change

A change has one correct size and the request defines it. Overshooting and undershooting are the same failure — a boundary that was never located — and they fail differently: unrequested edits surface in review or in production, missing edits surface as the user finding them. Locate the boundary first, then be exhaustive inside it and inert outside it.

When the boundary is corrected mid-task, the result reads as though the corrected scope were the only one there had ever been. A title, comment, or rationale that keeps the dropped option alive re-imports the overshoot the correction just removed, and the reader pays for it twice; what belongs in a deliverable is ux-writing.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
