This skill identifies extra features, refactors, and \"while we are here\" edits, moving them to a suggestions list rather than the current change. It ensures that changes trace back directly to the original request, avoiding unintended expansions and keeping projects consistent with their initial problem statements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat this skill does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMonitors coding tasks to ensure all changes relate directly to a specified request.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlags any modifications or additions that extend beyond the initial scope.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMoves potential unnecessary features, refactoring, or additional comments into a separate suggestions list for later consideration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrevents feature creep by maintaining strict adherence to the original problem statement or task.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis skill is beneficial for developers and engineering teams using AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.

This skill helps identify that the refactor is outside the task's scope, moving it to a suggestions list.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA product requirement document (PRD) begins to include features not originally intended. The skill flags these expansions to keep the project focused.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDuring review, an engineer considers adding an unrelated configuration option. This is flagged and suggested for future discussion instead of being included in the current change.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe skill integrates with AI coding platforms like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex to monitor tasks and ensure compliance with initial project specifications.
