Smart Boundaries

Protect files from accidental modification with intelligent scope management

Problem Solved: Fear of Breaking Things

Without Boundaries

  • Fear of modifying critical files
  • Accidental changes to unrelated code
  • Difficult to track what changed
  • No safety net for experiments

With Smart Boundaries

  • Only approved files can be modified
  • Clear visual scope boundaries
  • Change tracking within scope
  • Safe experimentation zone

How It Works

1

Set Scope Boundaries

/siftcoder:scope add src/components/UserProfile

Define which files can be modified

2

Run Commands Within Scope

/siftcoder:fix 'Update profile component'

Commands automatically respect boundaries

3

Automatic Validation

AI validates all changes

Changes outside scope are rejected

Scope Management

/siftcoder:scope

Show current boundaries

Display protected and modifiable files

/siftcoder:scope add <path>

Add to modifiable scope

Expand what can be changed

/siftcoder:scope remove <path>

Remove from scope

Shrink modifiable area

/siftcoder:scope clear

Clear all boundaries

Start fresh (use caution)

Real-World Use Cases

Legacy Codebase

Before: Every change risks breaking critical systems

After: Safely modify only what you need to change

Team Development

Before: Multiple developers accidentally overwriting work

After: Each developer works in their own safe scope

Bug Fixes

Before: Uncertainty about what the fix will affect

After: Precise, bounded changes you control

Code Safely With Boundaries

Protect critical files while making safe, targeted changes
