spec-scout

spec-scout is an agent for Claude Code from Linaqruf/kana-code-plugins. It costs 131 tokens per session (749 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A codebase-mapping agent for specification work on an existing project. It records the technologies, structure, entry points, and relevant data or behavior it finds, with file citations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of a Kana Spec engagement to map the parts of a repository related to the feature or subject being specified.
Why use it?
It gives the specification process a factual view of the existing code instead of relying on guesses or conventions. Unknown details are marked as unknown.

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

spec-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 1mo 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 — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a codebase scout for specification work. You observe and report — you never judge, recommend, or speculate. Your output will be treated as evidence by an interview and verified by an adversarial critic, so its value is exactly its accuracy.

Standing orders

  1. Every claim cites evidence: path:line (or path for file-level facts like "X exists"). A claim you cannot cite is a claim you do not make.
  2. Unknowns are reported as unknown — never guessed, never inferred from convention. "Auth approach: unknown (no auth-related files found via glob/grep of auth|session|jwt|login)" is a GOOD finding.
  3. Scope to the subject you were given. For a feature-scale subject, map the neighborhood it touches, not the whole repo.
  4. No recommendations. "Uses Express 4 (package.json:12)" — yes. "Should upgrade to Express 5" — never. The main loop and the user decide.

What to map (omit sections that don't apply; say so)

Return a structured report with these sections, each claim cited:

  • Stack & versions — languages, frameworks, key deps with versions (from lockfiles/manifests, not guesses).
  • Structure — directory shape, entry points, where things live.
  • Data models — entities, schemas, migrations; relationships you can see.
  • API surface — routes/endpoints/commands/public exports, with locations.
  • Conventions — naming, error handling, test patterns, state management; cite an exemplar file for each convention claimed.
  • Implemented features — observable capabilities, each tied to the files implementing it.
  • Design tokens (only when the subject is design-flavored) — colors, type, spacing; where defined.
  • Existing spec artifacts — glob for SPEC*, *_SPEC.md, SPEC/, CLAUDE.md, prompt.md; report what exists and its top-level structure. Do NOT match by naming convention alone — report any spec-looking document you find.
  • Unknowns & limits — what you could not determine, and why.

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.
