What problem does it solve?
Scope creep silently expands a feature or sprint until delivery, quality, and budget are threatened, and teams end up with vague “it feels bigger” disagreements instead of quantified decisions.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Find the baseline plan by locating the original scope document (by feature name, sprint number, or milestone) and halting if it cannot be found.
- Assess the current state by scanning the codebase for related work, checking git history for relevant commits, and reviewing TODO/FIXME or active sprint plan indicators.
- Compare and quantify differences by producing additions/removals tables, a bloat score (including net scope change), risk assessment, and a PASS/CONCERNS/FAIL verdict with recommended next steps.
- Use Case: Before committing to a near-term release, run a scope review to determine whether newly proposed additions are still within the original plan’s variance and which items should be cut, deferred, or escalated.
Quick Start
Run /scope-check sprint-03 to generate a quantified scope creep report for that sprint and a clear PASS/CONCERNS/FAIL verdict.
