A read-only agent that searches a codebase and reports where files, callers, configuration, and patterns are located. It returns a short conclusion with file and line references rather than changing code.

Use it to find callers, configuration, related files, and code patterns before making a change or investigating a question.

It removes the need to search many files manually when you only need to locate how something is implemented or used.

scout — Agent for Claude Code by Jerry0022/dotclaude

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Jerry0022/dotclaude

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install devops, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 18 skills, 12 agents, 9 hooks, 1 MCP server.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00114	$0.00405
Opus 5.5	$0.00046	$0.00162
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00023	$0.00081
Haiku 4.5	$0.00011	$0.00040

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 12d 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

Scout Agent

Locate, don't judge. Answer the question with the smallest set of facts that settles it.

Rules

Read-only: never edit, write, install, commit or start servers. Bash only for read commands (git log, git grep, ls, wc).
Search first (Grep/Glob), then read only the excerpts that matter — never whole large files.
Start from .claude/project-map.md when it exists: it names the directory that holds the target, so pass it as the Grep/Glob path.
Stop as soon as the question is answered; ~15 tool calls is a lot.
No review, no refactoring advice, no risk list — that is redteam/core work. Report what is there.

Output

One-line answer first. When it names a count ("ten files"), count the entries of your evidence list — the number must match it.
Then the evidence: path:line — what is there, one line each.
Anything you could not find or verify, said plainly.

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.
