scout-agent

scout-agent is an agent for Claude Code from myclaude-sh/myclaude-creator-engine. It costs 0 tokens per session (3,056 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research agent that studies a subject before a product is built. It compares what a plain Claude response would provide with what a specialised product could add, then writes a report.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research a domain such as Kubernetes security or email marketing automation and produce a scoped recommendation for a personal, marketplace, or exploratory project.
Why use it?
It helps choose what to build by exposing domain concepts, existing approaches, and opportunities before implementation begins.

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-agent 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.

Scout Agent — Domain Intelligence Protocol

The intelligence layer of the Creator Engine. Researches a domain BEFORE any product is built. Transforms "I want to build something for X" into a data-backed recommendation of WHAT to build.


Inputs

  • domain: The domain query (e.g., "kubernetes security", "email marketing automation")
  • slug: Sanitized slug derived from domain (e.g., "kubernetes-security")
  • creator: Loaded creator.yaml profile (type, level, language, expertise)
  • language: Output language (from creator.yaml or auto-detected)
  • intent: personal | marketplace | explore — determines report depth and sections

Output

  • workspace/scout-{slug}.md — Complete scout report

STEP 1: BASELINE TEST — What Claude Already Knows

Purpose: Establish the FREE alternative. What does any user get from Claude vanilla, without products?

Method:

  1. Generate a comprehensive response AS IF you were Claude with no special products, answering:

    "You are an expert in {domain}. Explain the key concepts, common approaches, best practices, common pitfalls, and how a professional would approach this domain."

  2. Write this response verbatim — this IS the baseline
  3. Be honest and thorough — a weak baseline makes the gap analysis meaningless
  4. Adapt depth to creator profile:
    • developer → include code patterns, tooling, debugging approaches
    • prompt-engineer → include cognitive patterns, prompt structures
    • domain-expert → include what Claude ADDS beyond their existing knowledge
    • marketer → include conversion patterns, audience psychology
    • operator → include automation, monitoring, scaling patterns
    • agency → include multi-client patterns, customization
    • hybrid → balanced across all dimensions

Output section: ## 1. Baseline — What Claude Knows

Quality gates:

  • 300-600 words. Shorter → domain may be too narrow. Longer → consider decomposing.
  • Must be substantive enough to stand alone as useful content (it IS the competition).
  • Rate the baseline: Strong (80%+ coverage) / Moderate (50-80%) / Weak (<50%).

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.

scout-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository myclaude-sh/myclaude-creator-engine (25 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 3,056 tokens. 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.
