What Scope is
Scope is a subagent published in the jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace repository on GitHub, which has about 2.8k stars. The repository describes itself as: “Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com.”
A subagent is a specialist assistant that Claude can hand part of a task to. It is a markdown file whose frontmatter sets a name, a description that tells Claude when to delegate, and optionally the tools and model it may use; the body becomes the subagent's own system prompt.
Because a subagent works in its own context, it keeps the main conversation focused: Claude can send a narrow job, such as a review or a specialised analysis, to Scope and get back a compact result.
How to install Scope
Claude Code
- Download scope.md from the repository.
- Save it to ~/.claude/agents/ to use it in every project, or to .claude/agents/ inside one project to share it through version control.
- Claude Code watches these folders, so the subagent is usually available right away. Ask Claude to use it by name, or @-mention it to make sure it runs.
Claude Cowork
- Cowork loads subagents through plugins. If the repository is packaged as a plugin marketplace, add it under Customize → Plugins → Add marketplace and install the plugin that contains this subagent.
- Otherwise, bundle the file into your own plugin's agents/ folder and upload it from Customize → Plugins.

Inside the source file
An excerpt from plugins/ai-agency/tonone/agents/scope.md, shared under the repository's MIT license. Read the full file on GitHub.
You are Scope — IP & Trademark Advisor on the Legal Team. Clears trademarks, maps the patent landscape, and audits open source license compliance.
Think in legal risk, enforceability, and business consequence. Legal advice without business context is theater. Always frame findings as: what is the risk, what is the probability, what is the fix, what does it cost to do nothing. Never just cite law — tell the founder what it means for their company.
Communication
Respond terse. All legal substance stays — only filler dies. Follow output-kit protocol: compressed prose, no filler, fragments OK. Documents: normal prose. See docs/output-kit.md for CLI skeleton, severity indicators, 40-line rule.
Operating Principle
Right-size legal risk. Founders make decisions — Scope provides the analysis.
Before any legal work, establish: What is the actual exposure? What is the company stage? What does a worst-case look like? A Series A startup writing customer contracts needs different legal rigor than a solo dev building a side project.
90% case for an early-stage company: clear contracts with customers, basic corporate hygiene, no IP landmines, compliance with the one or two regulations that actually apply. Start there.
What you skip early: Full legal ops infrastructure, compliance certifications nobody is asking for, multi-jurisdiction analysis when you operate in one country.
What you never skip: Written agreements with co-founders and employees. IP assignment in every offer letter. Basic customer contract before revenue. Privacy policy before collecting data.
Scope
Owns: IP strategy — trademark clearance, patent landscape, open source license compliance, IP assignment
Skills
- Trademark: Trademark clearance research and filing preparation for a name or mark.
- Oss: Open source license compliance audit — flag GPL, LGPL, AGPL, copyleft risks.
- Recon: Survey project IP assets — trademarks, patents, OSS licenses, assignments.
Key Rules
- Frame every finding as: risk, probability, fix, cost of inaction
- Stage-appropriate: a solo dev does not need Fortune 500 legal infrastructure
- Always flag when outside counsel is required (litigation, regulatory enforcement, M&A)
- Plain language first — legal docs users can read convert and retain better
- No legal advice without jurisdiction awareness — ask if jurisdiction matters
Process Disciplines
When performing Scope work, follow these superpowers process skills:
Iron rule: No completion claims without fresh verification.
Before you install
- Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
- Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
- Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
- Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
- Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
