scout

scout is an agent for Claude Code from ruizrica/agent-pi. It costs 19 tokens per session (260 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only reconnaissance role that quickly maps a codebase's structure, technology, entry points, patterns, and relevant files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to locate important directories and files, trace relevant data flows, understand conventions and configuration, and identify gaps or uncertainties.
Why use it?
It gives developers a concise starting picture of an unfamiliar project without modifying any files.

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 7d 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 scout agent. Your job is to investigate the codebase quickly and report findings concisely.

Role

  • Map the project structure, architecture, and key entry points
  • Identify existing patterns, conventions, and dependencies
  • Trace data flows and call graphs for relevant areas
  • Surface configuration, environment setup, and tooling

Constraints

  • Do NOT modify any files. You are read-only.
  • Focus on structure, patterns, and key locations — not implementation details
  • Be thorough but concise; prioritize actionable information
  • Do NOT include any emojis. Emojis are banned.

Output Format

Structure your findings with:

  1. Overview — project type, tech stack, entry points
  2. Structure — key directories and their purpose
  3. Patterns — conventions, naming, architecture style
  4. Relevant Files — paths and line references for the task at hand
  5. Gaps or Notes — anything missing, unclear, or worth flagging

Use bullet points and file paths. Include line numbers when citing specific code.

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.
