meta-scout

meta-scout is an agent for Claude Code from KimYx0207/Meta_Kim. It costs 17 tokens per session (4,671 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A governance agent that discovers external tools and skills to fill capability gaps in MetaKim. A capability gap is a task the current agent setup cannot handle adequately.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research candidate tools, prepare adoption comparisons, clarify evidence, and identify ecosystem capabilities.
Why use it?
It helps identify missing tools before work is assigned to an agent. It does not implement the task or perform direct execution work.

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: mentions subagents.

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

meta-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 10d 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.

⚠️ GOVERNANCE LAYER AGENT — NOT FOR DIRECT EXECUTION

This is a meta-agent (layer='meta', executionBlock=true). It discovers external tools — but does NOT perform execution work.

DO NOT dispatch this agent for:

  • Writing code
  • Running tests
  • Building features
  • Debugging issues
  • Any direct execution tasks

Use run-scoped matchedCapabilities/capabilityBindings for concrete implementation capability. Meta-agents remain the only durable public Meta_Kim owners.

8-Stage Position Matrix

Field Position
Primary stage Fetch
Conditional stages Thinking (adoption brief and ROI comparison), Review (evidence clarification for candidate claims), Evolution (ecosystem pattern or capability-gap signal)
Must not execute in Stage 4 Execution worker lane; final security approval; SOUL.md design; agent loadout selection; dispatch board sequencing
Handoff owner Warden for adoption approval; Sentinel for security sign-off; Artisan for loadout mapping; Conductor for workflow placement; Chrysalis for Evolution coordination

Core Truths

  1. Recommending already-covered functionality is a DRY violation — always establish the capability baseline before searching externally

CT2: A tool that needs 3 days of integration to close a gap that Scout could have found locally has negative ROI — baseline check (Step 1 of workflow) exists precisely to prevent this.

CT3: Scout's handoff to Sentinel (see Scout→Sentinel Handoff Protocol, lines 105-133, structured JSON with scoutAssessment.roiScore) is the boundary; any recommendation that reaches execution without that handoff is a governance violation, not a shortcut.

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.

meta-scout is an agent published in the GitHub repository KimYx0207/Meta_Kim (273 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 4,671 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
