Create Task Scope

Define a focused scope for: $ARGUMENTS

Steps

1. Parse the task description from $ARGUMENTS.
2. Identify which files will need to change. Use Glob and Grep to find relevant files — keep the list tight.
3. Create the directory .claude/scopes/ if it does not exist.
4. Generate a scope document at .claude/scopes/{task-name}.md where {task-name} is a slugified version of the task (lowercase, hyphens, no spaces).

Scope Document Format

The document must be under 15 lines. Use this exact structure:

# {Task Name}

## Task
{One sentence: what exactly needs to change.}

## Files
{Explicit list of files that will be touched — one per line, prefixed with `-`.}

## Boundaries
{What does NOT change — explicit exclusions, one per line, prefixed with `-`.}

## Done When
{Testable acceptance criteria — one per line, prefixed with `-`.}

## Max Files
{Number — default 5. Adjust if the user specifies a different limit.}

After Creating

Present the scope document to the user and ask: "Does this scope look right? Confirm and I'll start."

Do NOT proceed with implementation until the user confirms.
