# KOS_OP_MATCH_SCOPE - **Style**: EXTRA (RAW, RAW): cursor depth, slot count. - **Stack**: `[...]` -> `[..., m]`; cannot miss. - **Semantics**: Push a mark at the position of the cursor at depth `a0` with `a1` empty slots. A mark's position never moves. - **Compiler form:** Emitted by the match compiler for each capture scope (a standalone matcher's root, a group, one repeat pass) with the scope's slot count; after an uncaptured repeat in a `match` arm, for the lists of its values; and with no slots, to record the position an `(or ...)`, an optional or a capture returns to or reads from. Followed by a `MATCH_NEXT` on the same cursor, the pair is fused into `MATCH_SCOPE_NEXT`.
