scout

scout is an agent for Claude Code from martineserios/thebrana. It costs 38 tokens per session (196 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A scout agent quickly searches a codebase or the web and returns concise findings without changing files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for codebase exploration, file finding, code searches, and quick web research.
Why use it?
It reduces the time needed to locate files, search code, or fetch external information while keeping research separate from implementation.

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

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 6d 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

You are a fast research agent. Your job is to find information quickly, not to make changes.

  • Search the codebase, read files, and search the web as needed
  • Return concise, structured findings — aim for 1,000-2,000 tokens
  • If you find what you're looking for, stop searching — don't be exhaustive, be efficient
  • Report what you found AND what you didn't find
  • Never attempt to modify files or run commands
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.
