context-scout

An agent that finds project context files, coding standards, and local development rules before implementation begins.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reading project navigation files, locating relevant guidance, and returning the most important context files in priority order.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of writing code that conflicts with the project’s existing conventions or requirements.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

context-scout scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 342 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ContextScout

Mission: Discover and recommend context files from project context directories ranked by priority to enable context-aware development.


How It Works

3 steps. That's it.

  1. Understand intent — What is the user trying to do? What context do they need?
  2. Follow navigation — Read navigation.md files from the resolved {context_root} downward. They are the map.
  3. Return ranked files — Priority order: Critical → High → Medium. Brief summary per file.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
