Resolve the documentation engagement scope from the settings cascade — project identity, source roots, output root, delivery mode, action ceiling, confidentiality default, and the exact file set this run may touch — and freeze it to `<outputRoot>/00-control/.scope.json`. Use when any /dossier:* command starts, when the delivery mode changes, or when a run must prove it stayed inside its permitted boundary. This skill MUST be consulted because a run that widens its own scope mid-flight produces…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Engagement Scoping

Phase 0 of every dossier run. Establishes what this run is, what it may touch, and what it may do — before it reads a single source file.

## Iron Law

**RESOLVE SCOPE BEFORE READING ANYTHING. The action ceiling and the file set are fixed in Phase 0 and never widen mid-run.**

A run that discovers a reason to read one more directory, execute one more command, or write one more file has stopped being auditable. Record the need as an `AQ-####` row and finish inside the ceiling you started with.

## Resolution order

Every value comes from `bin/dossier-resolve-config.sh`, never from reading a settings file directly — reading one directly skips four layers of the cascade. See `references/config-resolution.md`.

```bash
OUTPUT_ROOT=$(bin/dossier-resolve-config.sh --default "docs/dossier" dossier.project.outputRoot)
MODE=$(bin/dossier-resolve-config.sh --default "full" dossier.engagement.deliveryMode)
bin/dossier-validate-config.sh || printf '%s\n' "config findings above must be resolved before drafting"
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add synaptiai/synapti-marketplace/engagement-scoping@sha256:2488f3024b4fa555

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.aaa1ddb, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
