How it fires

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

🔍 Scan: Analyzing Project Scope...

*Analyze a project's complexity and generate pricing recommendations.*

Activation

When this skill activates, output:

`🔍 Scan: Analyzing project scope...`

Then execute the protocol below.

Context Guard

| Context | Status | |---------|--------| | **User asks to scan or analyze a project** | ACTIVE: full scan | | **User asks about pricing or estimates** | ACTIVE: full scan + pricing | | **User mentions project metrics (LOC, file count)** | ACTIVE: quick metrics | | **Discussing project analysis concepts generally** | DORMANT: do not activate | | **User is building/coding, not analyzing** | DORMANT: do not activate |

Protocol

1. **Scan the codebase:**

   find . -type f \( -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.tsx" -o -name "*.js" -o -name "*.py" -o -name "*.css" \) | wc -l
   find . -type f \( -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.tsx" -o -name "*.js" \) -exec cat {} + | wc -l

2. **Count key components:** pages/routes, API endpoints, database tables, external integrations, auth complexity

3. **Assess complexity tier:**

  • **Simple** (< 20 files, < 3K LOC): $500 to $2,000
  • **Medium** (20-60 files, 3K-15K LOC): $2,000 to $8,000
  • **Complex** (60-150 files, 15K-50K LOC): $8,000 to $25,000
  • **Enterprise** (150+ files, 50K+ LOC): $25,000+

4. **Factor in:** Auth (+2FA/SSO), payments (+$1-3K), real-time (+$1-2K), admin panel (+$2-5K), mobile responsive (+20-30%), per API integration (+$500-1.5K)

5. **Generate three-tier pricing:** Budget, Standard, Premium

Inputs

  • Project directory path
  • New build vs maintenance estimate

Outputs

  • Project analysis: file counts, LOC, endpoints, tables
  • Complexity tier assessment
  • Three-tier pricing recommendation

Example Usage

**User:** "scan AdminStack and estimate pricing"

🔍 Scan: Analyzing project scope...

Files: 127 | LOC: ~28,000 | Pages: 27 | API Routes: 34 | Tables: 20
Integrations: Supabase, Stripe, Square, SendGrid, Railway, Hetzner
Complexity: Complex tier

Budget:   $15,000: Core features, basic styling
Standard: $22,000: Full features, admin panel, responsive
Premium:  $30,000, Full + custom integrations + 3mo support

Level History

  • **Lv.1**: Base: File/LOC counting with complexity assessment. (Origin: MemStack v1.0, Feb 2026)
  • **Lv.2**: Enhanced: Added YAML frontmatter, context guard, activation message, integration pricing. (Origin: MemStack v2.0 MemoryCore merge, Feb 2026)
