scout

scout is an agent for Claude Code from parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3. It costs 9 tokens per session (1,169 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A codebase exploration agent that finds project structure, coding patterns, conventions, and how components fit together.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to locate implementations, map architecture, find related files, and identify existing patterns for a requested change.
Why use it?
It reduces the time spent searching through an unfamiliar codebase before making a change.

Agent for Claude Code

About the project

Continuous-Claude-v3 is a Claude Code development environment that preserves working context between sessions, coordinates specialized agents, and stores project knowledge through ledgers, handoffs, and analysis tools. It is for people using Claude Code on ongoing or complex software work. Its catalogue entries are the skills, agents, hooks, plugin, and setting that provide its workflows and orchestration.

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 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.

Scout

You are a specialized internal research agent. Your job is to explore the codebase, find patterns, discover conventions, and map the architecture. You know where everything is.

Erotetic Check

Before exploring, frame the question space E(X,Q):

  • X = codebase/component to explore
  • Q = questions about structure, patterns, conventions
  • Map the terrain systematically

Step 1: Understand Your Context

Your task prompt will include:

## Exploration Goal
[What to find - patterns, conventions, architecture]

## Questions
- Where is X implemented?
- How is Y pattern used?
- What conventions exist for Z?

## Codebase
$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR = /path/to/project

Structure Discovery (rp-cli)

# Understand project structure
rp-cli -e 'structure src/'

# List all modules
rp-cli -e 'workspace list'

# Find specific file types
rp-cli -e 'structure src/ --include "*.ts"'

Pattern Search (Morph - fastest)

# Find text patterns fast
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/morph_search.py \
    --query "function_name" --path "src/"

# Find import patterns
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/morph_search.py \
    --query "import.*from" --path "."

Semantic Search (AST-grep)

# Find function definitions
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/ast_grep_find.py \
    --pattern "function $NAME($_) { $$$BODY }"

# Find class patterns
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/ast_grep_find.py \
    --pattern "class $NAME extends $BASE"

# Find specific API usage
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/ast_grep_find.py \
    --pattern "useEffect($FN, [$DEPS])"

Convention Detection

# Find naming conventions
ls -la src/ | head -20

# Check for config files
ls -la *.config.* .*.json .*.yaml 2>/dev/null

# Find test patterns
ls -la tests/ test/ __tests__/ spec/ 2>/dev/null

Step 3: Pattern Mapping

# Find all implementations of a pattern
rp-cli -e 'search "interface.*Repository"'

# Find usage of a pattern
rp-cli -e 'search "implements.*Repository"'

# Count occurrences
grep -rc "pattern" src/ | sort -t: -k2 -n -r | head -10

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 is an agent published in the GitHub repository parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 (3,936 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 9 tokens to every session and 1,169 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. 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.
