Judgment rules for locating the correct boundary of a requested change: staying inert outside it while completing every required site inside it. Use when scope is ambiguous, a diff touches neighboring surfaces, required dependent edits are unclear, or a proposed compatibility layer, migration, fallback, flag, abstraction, or parallel implementation may exceed the request.
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
# Scoped Change A change has one correct size and the request defines it. Overshooting and undershooting are the same failure — a boundary that was never located — and they fail differently: unrequested edits surface in review or in production, missing edits surface as the user finding them. Locate the boundary first, then be exhaustive inside it and inert outside it. When the boundary is corrected mid-task, the result reads as though the corrected scope were the only one there had ever been. A title, comment, or rationale that keeps the dropped option alive re-imports the overshoot the correction just removed, and the reader pays for it twice; what belongs in a deliverable is [`ux-writing`](https://github.com/scarletkc/agents/blob/main/skills/ux-writing/SKILL.md). ## Outside the boundary - **Edit only the surfaces the request names.** A request that names one layer is a request about that layer, and the neighboring layers stay untouched even when they look wrong. Report what you noticed instead of fixing it; a separate observation is cheap, an entangled diff is not. *Counter-example: asked to adapt a backend endpoint to an existing signup …

How to install
mdr add scarletkc/agents/scoped-change@sha256:f639d5bcc49cb1a2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260824.d5a3123, 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.
