/aiagentminder:scope-check - Active Scope Governance

Evaluate a proposed feature, task, or change against the project roadmap before you commit to building it.

Use this when you're about to start something and want a clear answer on whether it belongs in the current phase.

How to Use

Describe what you want to build — a sentence or a draft issue title is enough:

/aiagentminder:scope-check — Add dark mode toggle to the settings page

/aiagentminder:scope-check — Refactor the auth middleware to support OAuth providers

What This Command Does

Step 1: Read Context

Read:

docs/strategy-roadmap.md — phase goals, MVP features list, out-of-scope list, future phases
SPRINT.md — if an active sprint exists, check the approved issue list

Step 2: Evaluate

Compare the proposed work against the roadmap and active sprint:

Is it explicitly listed in the current phase's MVP features? → In scope
Is it explicitly listed in "Out of Scope"? → Out of scope
Is it listed in a future phase? → Deferred
Is it absent from the roadmap entirely? → Not in roadmap
Does it fall within the approved sprint issues? → In sprint (or Outside sprint if not)

Step 3: Return a Verdict

Return one of these verdicts with a one-sentence recommendation:

In scope:

This aligns with Phase {n} — it maps to "{MVP feature}". Proceed.

Out of scope:

This is marked out of scope in the roadmap: "{quote}". Options: override and proceed, defer to a future phase, or leave it out.

Deferred:

This is planned for Phase {n+1} but not the current phase. Building it now would expand Phase {n} scope. Options: move it up (update the roadmap), or defer until Phase {n+1}.

Not in roadmap:

This isn't in the roadmap. Options:

Add it to the current phase MVP list (update docs/strategy-roadmap.md)

Add it to a future phase

Capture to backlog for later refinement — run backlog-capture.sh add <type> "<title>" session (see /aiagentminder:backlog)

Mark it explicitly out of scope Which do you prefer?

Outside sprint:

This is in scope for the phase but not in the current sprint (S{n}). Options: add it to this sprint, queue it for the next sprint, or proceed outside the sprint workflow.

Always include a clear path to proceed — don't just block, give the user an actionable choice.
