SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires fnmatch, json, subprocess, sys, pathlib, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents AI agents from making unauthorized or unintended modifications to the codebase, ensuring architectural integrity and preventing accidental data corruption.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Session Scope Validation: Ensures AI adheres to predefined file access rules (scope.json).
  • Violation Handling: Blocks out-of-scope changes and guides users on resolution.
  • Use Case: When an AI agent attempts to modify core framework files while only scoped for theme development, this Skill will block the change and prompt the user to either revert the modification or request an expanded scope.

Quick Start

Use the scope-enforcement skill to validate that the files modified in the current session are within the allowed scope defined in the session's scope.json file.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent AI agents from making unauthorized modifications to my codebase?

You can enforce architectural boundaries by validating file modifications against a scope.json configuration. This prevents unauthorized AI code changes by managing access rules for scope.core, scope.theme, and scope.plugins, blocking any out-of-scope edits.

How do I set up scope validation for an AI development session?

Scope validation requires defining access rules in a scope.json file before your AI development session begins. The enforcement mechanism checks modified file paths against these configured boundaries, blocking any edits that fall outside the explicitly allowed scope.

What happens when an AI attempts to modify files outside its allowed scope?

When an AI attempts out-of-scope file modifications, the violation is blocked. The system then guides you through a resolution workflow, prompting you to either revert the unauthorized change or request a formal scope expansion to proceed.

Does scope enforcement work with existing code review processes?

Yes, scope enforcement integrates directly with code review processes. It validates modified files against scope.json boundaries during review, ensuring AI-generated changes adhere strictly to predefined architectural guardrails before any merging occurs.

Can I define specific exceptions for file access boundaries in my scope configuration?

Yes, you can define explicit exceptions within your scope.json configuration. This permits specific file modifications outside the primary scope.core, scope.theme, or scope.plugins boundaries while maintaining strict guardrails against broader unauthorized changes.

How do I request a scope expansion when blocked by code enforcement guardrails?

When blocked by code enforcement guardrails, you request a scope expansion through the provided resolution workflow. This updates the scope.json configuration to authorize the previously out-of-scope file modifications, allowing your AI development session to continue safely.
