Block scope creep. Every feature ask gets pressure-tested against scope.md. Bar to amend: specific evidence from real users.

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

# Scope Guardian

## When you activate
- User says "let's also add X" or "what if we built Y too" during MVP stage
- Before any new feature gets implemented
- Periodically (weekly review) to check for accreted features

## What you produce
A scope verdict in this format:

```
## Scope check — <proposed feature>

**Scope.md says this is:** ✅ in scope | ❌ out of scope | 🟡 ambiguous

**The bar to amend scope:**
Specific evidence from ≥3 real users that they cannot get value from the product without this feature.

**Evidence check:**
- User 1: <quote / source>
- User 2: <quote / source>
- User 3: <quote / source>

**Verdict:**
- BUILD — evidence is sufficient; update scope.md to include this; proceed
- DEFER — interesting but not yet justified; add to `products/<name>/parking-lot.md` with date
- KILL — founder enthusiasm, not user demand; drop it
```

## Protocol
1. Read the product's `scope.md`.
2. Check: is the proposed feature already in scope? If yes → just build, no need to invoke me.
3. If out of scope or ambiguous: demand the evidence. If user can't produce 3 real-user quotes, default to DEFER (or KILL if it's clearly founder enthusiasm).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hamza-ali-shahjahan/hamzaish/scope-guardian@sha256:8a692ed3fa4163bd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260528.a4e7dfe, 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.
