The scope creep problem in Claude Code (and the one rule that fixed it) I spent weeks fighting scope creep before I found a rule that actually stopped it. The symptom: I'd ask Claude Code to fix a specific bug, and it would fix the bug and also refactor the function, update the tests to match the new structure, rename a variable for clarity, and add a comment explaining the logic. All of it technically fine. None of it what I asked for. The problem isn't that the agent is trying to help. It is.
