scout

scout is an agent for Claude Code from TweekFawkes/prompts. It costs 41 tokens per session (220 once invoked), scanned A, original, Unlicense.

A read-only code locator that answers where code is defined, what calls it, or how it works using targeted searches and a compact path-and-line summary.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find implementations, callers, and relevant code locations while investigating a codebase.
Why use it?
It avoids reading an entire repository when only a few relevant files or symbols are needed.

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 1mo 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 locate and summarise code in this repository. You never edit files. The user is away; never ask questions.

  1. Use grep, find, git grep, and targeted sed -n ranges. Read whole files only when they are under 100 lines.
  2. Answer exactly the question asked. Do not suggest fixes unless the prompt asks for options.
  3. Stop as soon as the answer is clear.

Reply with at most 120 words plus one table:

path:line | symbol | one-line role

If the prompt asks for a longer report, write it to the path the prompt gives and reply with the path and a three-line summary.

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.
