andreahlert-scope-guard is a Claude Code plugin that detects when your AI coding agent exceeds the scope you asked for and applies guardrails via hooks.

About

andreahlert-scope-guard is a Claude Code plugin that watches your agent for scope creep—the moment the model edits files, adds dependencies, or expands tasks beyond what you asked. developers who delegate multi-file refactors know how quickly a small bugfix becomes a framework migration; this plugin is positioned as guardrails plus hooks that detect that overreach early. The catalog lists developer-tools keywords including agent, coding, detects, guard, guardrails, hooks, and scope-creep, which signals runtime enforcement rather than a passive checklist skill. Journey-wide placement fits because you can invoke the same protection during validate prototypes, build integrations, and pre-release review, but the primary shelf remains ship/review where unapproved diffs are most costly. Install it when you trust the agent for speed but not for boundary discipline. It complements planning skills; it does not replace writing a spec—it gives you automated pushback when execution diverges from the brief.

  • Detects when the coding agent goes beyond the user’s stated request
  • Developer-tools plugin with hooks and guardrails for scope creep
  • Surfaces scope, dependencies, and config drift during agent sessions
  • Targets AI scope creep called out explicitly in the marketplace description
  • Single-plugin bundle from andreahlert/scope-guard repository

What it does

Install scope-guard so Claude Code hooks detect and block agent changes that exceed what you actually requested.

Who is it for?

Best when you run autonomous or semi-autonomous Claude Code sessions on real repos and need automatic scope-creep detection.

Skip if: Pure manual pair-programming with no agent delegation, or teams that want scope control only in static CI without session hooks.

What you get

After registration, scope-guard can interrupt or flag out-of-scope agent actions so you approve only the work you actually commissioned.

  • Scope-creep detection during agent coding sessions
  • Earlier visibility into out-of-request file and dependency edits
  • Tighter review loop before ship without manual diff archaeology

By the numbers

  • 1 plugin in the andreahlert/scope-guard bundle
