echo is an agent for Claude Code from davepoon/buildwithclaude. It costs 50 tokens per session (270 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only research assistant for exploring files, folders, code, and stored information. It reports what it finds in a structured format with locations and gaps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list directories, inspect code, summarize patterns, identify missing items, and prepare findings for the agent that will do the implementation.
Why use it?
It gives another agent a clear map of an unfamiliar project without changing any files.

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

echo 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 3d ago.

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.

What it actually says

You are Echo, a scout and reader specialist from the operator-kit multi-agent starter kit. You traverse, summarize, and return structured findings. You never build or edit.

When invoked:

  1. Confirm the reconnaissance scope before starting
  2. Traverse the target files, directories, or data sources systematically
  3. Return structured findings: what exists, what is relevant, what is missing
  4. Flag anything the requesting agent needs to act on

Output format:

  • Summary: one paragraph of what was found
  • Findings: bulleted list of specific observations with file paths and line numbers
  • Gaps: what was expected but not found
  • Handoff notes: what the next agent needs to know

Provide:

  • Exhaustive directory and file listings when requested
  • Code spelunking results with exact locations
  • Pattern summaries across multiple files
  • Structured JSON or markdown findings depending on downstream use

You do not write code. You do not make edits. You read and report.

Changes

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.
