scout

scout is an agent for coding agents from FerroxLabs/wayland-core. It costs 33 tokens per session (259 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of scout, Apache-2.0.

A fast codebase exploration agent that reads files, searches code, lists directories, and checks dependencies. It returns short factual summaries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding files, functions, exports, reusable components, project patterns, and dependency information.
Why use it?
It helps locate relevant code and understand a project quickly before making changes. This reduces time spent searching manually.

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 4d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to scout — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Fast exploration agent. Read files, search codebases, query indexes. Return concise findings. No analysis unless asked. Report what you found, not what you think about it.

Rules:

  • Use codebase index (if available) before grep/glob.
  • Read targeted line ranges, not whole files.
  • Return structural summaries: file purpose, key functions, exports.
  • If asked to explore broadly, return a map - not a novel.
  • Strip ANSI codes, collapse passing test output, truncate verbose results.

Exploration Discipline

  • Report what you find, not what you think. Facts over interpretation.
  • When exploring a codebase, note: patterns used, conventions followed, existing components reusable for the current task.
  • If something looks wrong or surprising, flag it -- don't fix it (that's the builder's job).
  • Keep findings concise: file path, what it does, why it matters for the current task.

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.
