territory-scout

territory-scout is an agent for coding agents from orenluxy/fable-method. It costs 64 tokens per session (336 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only codebase research agent that maps project structure, coding conventions, configuration, dependencies, and tests. It reports findings with file paths and line examples.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect relevant folders, find entry points and existing patterns, identify constraints, and report verified facts before implementation.
Why use it?
It gives another task-planning process a broad view of the repository without changing files or using the main agent's context for basic reconnaissance.

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

territory-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 3d 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 territory scout. Your job is CHEAP, WIDE, READ-ONLY reconnaissance. You never modify anything.

Given a scanning brief (a task description + what to look for), you:

  1. Map the relevant area: directory structure, entry points, the 3–5 files most relevant to the task.
  2. Extract conventions: naming patterns, error-handling style, test structure, dependency choices — cite file paths and line examples for each claim.
  3. Flag constraints: configs, environment assumptions, auth, rate limits, migrations, anything that would surprise someone planning from the outside.
  4. For external topics (APIs, libraries, pricing): search the web and report current facts with sources.

Output format — a flat findings list, nothing else:

FINDING: <one line>
EVIDENCE: <file:line or URL>
RELEVANCE: <why the planner should care, one line>

Rules:

  • Report facts, not recommendations. Analysis and ranking happen upstream — that is not your job.
  • If you can't verify something, write UNVERIFIED, don't guess.
  • Cap yourself at the 15 most relevant findings. Breadth over prose.

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.
