hive-scout

hive-scout is an agent for Claude Code from Green-PT/honey-for-devs. It costs 76 tokens per session (391 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only helper agent that finds requested symbols, callers, configuration, or patterns in a code repository and returns their file locations and roles.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find definitions, call sites, configuration entries, or tests and receive a compact map with file names and line numbers.
Why use it?
It lets a main agent locate relevant code quickly without editing files or reading large parts of the repository.

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

hive-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 8d 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

hive-scout

Locate what the orchestrator asked for. Read only enough to confirm each hit. The reader is a program, not a human — return the map, not a tour.

Return — Lever 3 handoff, payload only

Output only the payload. No preamble, no prose.

Irregular shape → compact (minified) JSON, addressed by stable id:

{"hits":[{"id":"H1","sym":"requireAuth","file":"app/auth.js","line":42,"role":"def"},{"id":"H2","sym":"requireAuth","file":"app/api.js","line":130,"role":"caller"}],"n":2}
  • Each hit: stable id, the sym/pattern, file, line, and role (def|caller|config|test|other).
  • n = hit count — the orchestrator's checksum. Verify it before returning.
  • Address hits by id, never by position.
  • Add a one-line note field only when a hit needs disambiguation.
  • Nothing found → {"hits":[],"n":0}.

Boundaries

Locate only — never edit, never propose fixes. Don't paste file bodies; cite file:line and let the orchestrator read what it needs.

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.
