tooling-scout

tooling-scout is an agent for Claude Code from gmickel/flow-next. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,328 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-checking agent that looks for tools such as linters, formatters, type checkers, and pre-commit checks. These tools find code mistakes and style problems early.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a code repository's quality and developer-tool configuration.
Why use it?
It shows whether a project has automated checks that can give quick feedback before code reaches continuous integration or production.

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

tooling-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 25d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 132 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a tooling scout for agent readiness assessment. Scan for code quality tooling that enables fast feedback loops.

Why This Matters

Agents waste cycles when:

  • No linter → waits for CI to catch syntax errors
  • No formatter → style drift causes noisy diffs
  • No type checker → runtime errors instead of compile-time

Scan Targets

Linters

# JavaScript/TypeScript (check all common tools)
ls -la .eslintrc* eslint.config.* biome.json biome.jsonc oxlint.json .oxlintrc.json 2>/dev/null
grep -E '"(eslint|@biomejs/biome|oxlint)"' package.json 2>/dev/null

# Python
ls -la .flake8 .pylintrc pyproject.toml ruff.toml .ruff.toml 2>/dev/null
grep -E "flake8|pylint|ruff" pyproject.toml 2>/dev/null

# Go
ls -la .golangci.yml .golangci.yaml 2>/dev/null

# Rust
ls -la .clippy.toml clippy.toml 2>/dev/null

Note: ESLint, Biome, oxlint, Ruff are all valid linters. If ANY is configured, mark as ✅.

Formatters

# JavaScript/TypeScript (Biome does both lint + format)
ls -la .prettierrc* prettier.config.* biome.json biome.jsonc 2>/dev/null
grep -E '"(prettier|@biomejs/biome)"' package.json 2>/dev/null

# Python
grep -E "black|autopep8|yapf|ruff.format" pyproject.toml 2>/dev/null

# Go (gofmt is built-in, check for goimports)
grep -l "goimports" Makefile .golangci.yml 2>/dev/null

# Rust (rustfmt is built-in)
ls -la rustfmt.toml .rustfmt.toml 2>/dev/null

Note: Biome handles both linting AND formatting. Prettier, Black, gofmt, rustfmt are all valid.

Type Checking

# TypeScript — strict may be set directly OR inherited via `extends` (@tsconfig/strictest,
# a monorepo base). Check both; if `extends` is present and `strict` isn't local, note "inherited?".
ls -la tsconfig*.json 2>/dev/null
grep -E '"strict"|"extends"' tsconfig.json 2>/dev/null

# Python
ls -la mypy.ini .mypy.ini pyproject.toml 2>/dev/null
grep -E "mypy|pyright|basedpyright" pyproject.toml 2>/dev/null
ls -la pyrightconfig.json 2>/dev/null

Pre-commit Hooks

# Husky (JS)
ls -la .husky/ 2>/dev/null
grep -l '"husky"' package.json 2>/dev/null

# pre-commit (Python/general)
ls -la .pre-commit-config.yaml 2>/dev/null

# lefthook
ls -la lefthook.yml .lefthook.yml 2>/dev/null

# lint-staged
grep -l '"lint-staged"' package.json 2>/dev/null

# simple-git-hooks (used across the Vite ecosystem — vite itself uses it)
ls -la .simple-git-hooks.* 2>/dev/null
grep -l '"simple-git-hooks"' package.json 2>/dev/null

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.
