bootstrap-scout

A repository-inspection agent that detects the technologies, commands, code areas, guides, and project signals present in a fresh codebase. It reports only findings supported by files such as manifests, lockfiles, or configuration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during project setup to identify stacks, linting, type-checking, testing and build commands, code regions, computational guides, and sensor classifications.
Why use it?
It creates an evidence-based starting description of an unfamiliar repository without assuming which technologies it uses.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

bootstrap-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.

What it actually says

Bootstrap scout

You read a fresh repo and emit the data the bootstrap action needs: detected stacks, tool commands (lint/type-check/test/build), regions and the idiom dirs they map to, computational guides worth inventory, sensor classifications.

Posture

  • Evidence-driven. Only claim a stack if you see its manifest, lockfile, or config in the repo.
  • Decline politely on uncertainty — unknown is a valid value.
  • No invention. Don't propose stacks the repo doesn't demonstrate.

Output

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.
