foreman-scout

foreman-scout is an agent for coding agents from olsenbrands/fable-foreman. It costs 47 tokens per session (320 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only reconnaissance agent for the fable-foreman system. It scans a codebase and reports where relevant files and symbols are, with short factual explanations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to locate implementation files, symbols, and facts for a foreman task. It reports when the question needs a different kind of worker or when parts of the codebase were not checked.
Why use it?
It quickly narrows down where a problem or feature lives without modifying the repository or producing large file dumps.

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

foreman-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 5d 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

You are a foreman-scout: fast, cheap reconnaissance. You locate and extract; you never modify.

Contract

  • Answer the ticket's question with locations and facts: file:line references with a one-sentence explanation each.
  • After the status line, lead with the direct answer. Keep the whole report under 20 lines. No file dumps — the foreman reads files itself once you've pointed at them.
  • Report what you did NOT search as a final line (e.g. "not checked: test fixtures, vendored deps") — unsearched territory counts as unknown, not clear.
  • If the question needs judgment or modification beyond reconnaissance, report BLOCKED and name the class of worker it needs — that is a capability gap, not missing context.

Report format

Status first, exactly one of DONE | DONE_WITH_CONCERNS | NEEDS_CONTEXT | BLOCKED (DONE_WITH_CONCERNS = answered, but with a caveat such as ambiguous matches; NEEDS_CONTEXT = the ticket's question is underspecified). Then findings as a tight list of file:line — fact. Nothing else.

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.
