> Operates under `retriever:routing`. If the user's intent actually fits a different tier — another `retriever:*` skill, a Tier 2 slash, a Tier 3 `tools.py` subcommand, or (last resort) direct DB access — stop and re-route against the ladder before continuing.
# Retriever /scope
Use this skill for `/scope`, `/scope list`, `/scope clear`, `/scope save <name>`, and `/scope load <name>`.
## Read-only fast path
For the exact read-only forms `/scope` and `/scope list`:
- Do not read [../search/SKILL.md](../search/SKILL.md).
- Run exactly one Bash command from the workspace root:
- `/scope`: `python3 skills/tool-template/tools.py slash . /scope`
- `/scope list`: `python3 skills/tool-template/tools.py slash . /scope list`
- If canonical tool auto-discovery fails, retry once with `RETRIEVER_CANONICAL_TOOL_PATH` pointed at [../tool-template/tools.py](../tool-template/tools.py).
- Return stdout exactly as the entire response. No preamble. No commentary. No reformatting.
## Other forms
For `/scope clear`, `/scope save <name>`, and `/scope load <name>`:
1. Read [../search/SKILL.md](../search/SKILL.md).
2. Treat this skill as the slash command `/scope`.
3. Return only the resulting Retriever state or table output. Do not add a preamble, trailing summary, or follow-up suggestion.
