# Scope Check
This skill is read-only — it reports findings but writes no files.
Compares original planned scope against current state to detect, quantify, and triage
scope creep.
**Argument:** `$ARGUMENTS[0]` — feature name, sprint number, or milestone name.
---
## Phase 1: Find the Original Plan
Locate the baseline scope document for the given argument:
- **Feature name** → read `design/gdd/[feature].md` or matching file in `design/`
- **Sprint number** (e.g., `sprint-3`) → read `production/sprints/sprint-03.md` or similar
- **Milestone** → read `production/milestones/[name].md`
If the document is not found, report the missing file and stop. Do not proceed without
a baseline to compare against.
---
## Phase 2: Read the Current State
Check what has actually been implemented or is in progress:
- Scan the codebase for files related to the feature/sprint
- Read git log for commits related to this work (`git log --oneline --since=[start-date]`)
- Check for TODO/FIXME comments that indicate unfinished scope additions
- Check active sprint plan if the feature is mid-sprint
---
## Phase 3: Compare Original vs Current Scope
Produce the comparison report:
```markdown
## Scope Check: [Feature/Sprint Name]
Generated: [Date]
### Original Scope
[List of items from the original plan]
### Current Scope
[List of items currently implemented or in progress]
### Scope Additions (not in original plan)
| Addition | Source | When | Justified? | Effort |
