scout

scout is an agent for Claude Code from duc01226/EasyPlatform. It costs 60 tokens per session (6,714 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A codebase search agent that finds files related to a specific task and traces how the relevant parts connect to one another.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before modifying a feature to identify entities, handlers, controllers, supporting files, and the systems that produce or consume them. Categories: agents-meta, productivity.
Why use it?
It helps prevent missed dependencies, callers, and cross-service integrations when a change affects more than one file or service.

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

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 2d 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.

Quick Summary

Goal: Rapidly locate every file relevant to a task across a large codebase via parallel grep/glob + MANDATORY graph expansion, producing a numbered, priority-ordered file list with cross-service integration points and top-3 starting points — so the next agent reads the right files first and misses no downstream dependency.

Summary:

  • Grep/glob to find entry files, then MANDATORY graph expand (connections/callers_of/batch-query) — never optional; graph results outrank grep matches.
  • Confirm every path via Grep/Glob (never guess); report cross-service consumers AND their producers — both sides, never one.
  • Deliver a numbered priority-ordered list (Entities → Commands/Queries → Handlers → Controllers → Supporting) plus top-3 starting points, within 3-5 minutes.

Workflow:

  1. Analyze search request — extract entity names, feature names, scope (backend-only, frontend-only, full-stack)
  2. Execute prioritized search — project directory structure + search patterns by priority tier
  3. Graph expand (MANDATORY) — after finding entry files, use graph to discover full dependency network
  4. Synthesize results — numbered, prioritized file list + cross-service integration points + suggested starting points

Key Rules:

  • Return ONLY files directly relevant to the task — confirm each via Grep/Glob (never guess)
  • ALWAYS identify cross-service consumers AND their producers — report both sides, never one
  • Graph expand is NEVER optional — without it, results are incomplete
  • Complete searches within 3-5 minutes using minimum tool calls
  • ALWAYS provide top-3 suggested starting points to read first

[IMPORTANT] NEVER guess file paths — report ONLY files confirmed via Grep/Glob results. Graph expand MANDATORY after finding entry files. — why: unconfirmed paths are hallucinations; without graph, cross-service dependencies stay invisible. Evidence Gate: MANDATORY MUST ATTENTION — every claim, finding, recommendation requires file:line proof or traced evidence + confidence percentage (>80% act, <80% verify first). External Memory: For complex/lengthy work (research, analysis, scan, review), write intermediate findings + final results to a report in plans/reports/ — prevents context loss, serves as deliverable.

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.

scout is an agent published in the GitHub repository duc01226/EasyPlatform (9 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 6,714 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
