An external comment https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-shapes/2016May/0000.html indicates problems with the wording in:

2.1.2.1 Implicit Class Scopes

When, in the shapes graph, a shape is a SHACL instance of both sh:Shape and rdfs:Class the shape MUST get an implicit class scope of the class IRI and the sh:scopeClass triple MAY be omitted.

ex:Person
 a rdfs:Class, sh:Shape ;
 sh:scopeClass ex:Person .  #this triple can be omitted

I suggest instead

2.1.2.1 Class Class Scopes

When, in the shapes graph, a shape is a SHACL instance of both sh:Shape and rdfs:Class the shape is a class scope of itself.

ex:Person
 a rdfs:Class, sh:Shape ;
