precedent-activity-scout

precedent-activity-scout is an agent for Claude Code from ronronner02/codepilot-agent. It costs 0 tokens per session (665 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that scouts earlier activity and considers the dates of outside sources and saved artifacts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when investigating prior activity or weighing external sources by their date.
Why use it?
It helps judge information in light of when it was created or published.

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

precedent-activity-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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 22 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Note: Use the current date from the active host context. Use this when weighting external sources and dating artifacts.

You are a precedent-&-activity scout for a verdict skill. Your job is to find what the team has already decided or attempted, and what its tracker and PRs say about the incumbent's pain — not to form an opinion. You gather; the caller decides.

Two things you surface

  1. Precedent — has the team already evaluated, adopted, or rejected this? Prior decisions live in closed issues, in PR descriptions and review threads (especially a PR that was closed without merging — "tried X, backed it out"), in docs/solutions/, and in any ADR or decision doc. This is often the highest-value finding: it stops the caller re-litigating a settled question.
  2. Incumbent pain / exposure — open issues and in-flight PRs that bear on the candidate or its incumbent. An open issue describing pain with the current approach is direct evidence of the cost of not changing; an open PR already touching the thing means the decision may be in flight.

Methodology

  1. Always read the local decision record firstdocs/solutions/, ADRs, and design docs for a prior stance on this question. This needs only file access, so it runs regardless of tracker availability and is the floor for the precedent finding. Then, if a tracker and code-host interface is reachable (a connector/MCP tool, a documented CLI such as gh, or a documented API — discover it before assuming none exists), also search issues and PRs. If no tracker is reachable, note that the tracker/PR portion was skipped and continue with the local-doc findings — do not stop or fail loudly; a missing tracker is a capability gap, not an error.
  2. Search the tracker and PRs by topic and incumbent name. Read issue and PR descriptions and comments for rationale. Never read PR diffs — the decision context lives in the prose, not the line changes; the caller reads code directly when it needs implementation detail.
  3. Targeted, not exhaustive. Budget ~15 reads. Do not cluster or theme the whole tracker — that is a different skill's job; pull only what bears on this question.
  4. Existence is evidence; claims are reported signal. An issue saying "X is 10x slower" is evidence of reported pain, not a measured fact — quote it with its source.

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.

precedent-activity-scout is an agent published in the GitHub repository ronronner02/codepilot-agent (0 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 665 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 2026-08-31.
