# Scope And Blockers

## Purpose
Keep scope and blockers explicit.

## When to Use
Use when requirements are broad, ambiguous, or blocked by missing information.

## Inputs
User request, plan, constraints, assumptions, dependencies.

## Steps
1. Define in-scope work.
2. Define out-of-scope work.
3. List blockers and their impact.
4. Continue with safe assumptions when possible.

## Gates
No hidden expansion of scope; blockers are visible.

## Evidence
Plan, issue list, or final response names skipped and blocked items.

## Anti-Patterns
Silently changing the goal; stopping early without naming the blocker.
