I don't understand what "w/wo user mods" means, but if you are talking
about running guix commands using a git repo; "pre-inst-env" is the way
to go, for example: "./pre-inst-env guix package -i ..."

For a custom package (if that's what you mean), it's the same: "guix
package -i <user-package>", but at first you need to add a directory
with your packages to GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH as described in the manual:
(info "(guix) Package Modules")
If you want to install packages in an arbitrary profile, run "guix
package" command with "--profile=..." option.

Also I don't understand what "scope" column means.
