# Fact Scope Guard

> Remember the right things, for the right scope.

## What it does

Fact Scope Guard stops bots from over-remembering. Before saving a fact it asks: is this a standing rule, true for one project, or a one-time answer? It tags the fact with that scope and checks the scope before using it.

## What you get

- Scope tags on every fact
- One-off answers kept one-off
- Fewer wrong reuses

## Data it uses

- Assistant memory

## Safety

- Writes or sends: Edits the bot's own memory.
- Reads: The bot's own memory
- Cost: Very low: a check before each save and each use of a remembered fact.
- Warning: Facts given for one person, program or application are never reused elsewhere without asking.

### Grok Bot (verified)

1. Copy skills/fact-scope-guard/SKILL.md (the whole file, including the --- header).
2. Open a one-to-one chat with your Grok Bot and paste the prompt below, with the file where it says.
3. Try it once now: "Run Fact Scope Guard."

Note: Skills and routines are saved by asking the Bot; no settings to dig through.

### Muse (partially-verified)

1. Copy skills/fact-scope-guard/SKILL.md.
2. Open Muse and paste the prompt below with the file where it says.
3. Try it: "Run Fact Scope Guard." Muse has no skill install for outside skills, so it follows the pasted instructions.
4. Muse Code (developer CLI): unzip downloads/fact-scope-guard.zip, run `muse skills validate ./fact-scope-guard` then `muse skills install ./fact-scope-guard --scope user`. Optional: add the BotPlaza connector (https://botplaza.lol/api/mcp) under mcpServers in ~/.config/muse/settings.json.

Note: Recurring tasks and Muse Code skill install are documented by Meta. Installing outside skills in the Muse app is not.

### Dots (partially-verified)

1. Copy skills/fact-scope-guard/SKILL.md.
2. Paste the prompt below into your dot's conversation in ChatGPT, with the file where it says.
3. Optional: in ChatGPT, Plugins > + > Add custom MCP server with https://botplaza.lol/api/mcp (no authentication). Dots can use installed plugins, but OpenAI hasn't said whether that includes custom ones.
4. Business, Enterprise, Healthcare and Edu workspaces can also upload downloads/fact-scope-guard.zip under Plugins > Skills > Create > Upload from your computer.

Note: Dots are available on ChatGPT Pro, Business Premium and Enterprise, and are still rolling out. Pasting instructions in and scheduled check-ins are documented.
