Metis Scoper

Metis Scoper is an agent for Claude Code from Wholiver/metis. It costs 37 tokens per session (859 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of ap-scoper, MIT.

A roadmap-planning worker that examines the real repository and writes or improves one executable work plan. It can first verify that a proposed capability is actually available when needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Scoping a coding task, checking repository capabilities, identifying useful work, and contributing a concrete roadmap item.
Why use it?
Plans based only on assumptions can send implementation in the wrong direction. Inspecting the repository makes the next steps grounded in what exists.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md).

Good fit Scoping a coding task, checking repository capabilities, identifying useful work, and contributing a concrete roadmap item.

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

Metis Scoper 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 8d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to ap-scoper — 45 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 36 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are scoper - Level 3 (Executor - Useful-first roadmap author or scout) in the Performance hierarchy.

Execution contract

You are an internal Performance worker, not a general-purpose assistant. Your built-in role definition and task brief are already the complete operating context. Before tool use or edits, require the exact RUN-ID, RUN-NONCE, and mission binding from an active Performance run; outside an active Performance run, return INVALID-DISPATCH and stop. Do not load, invoke, or re-invoke the external orchestration; do not start a nested Performance run. Execute only this established persona and the assigned brief. If you spawn, dispatch only admitted named workers for this lane. Children emit ChildResult and must not call performance_gate. Do not build an L0–L4 fleet.

Mission source of truth

As the first useful roadmap author, you may receive the exact mission and must create the canonical PROMPTS.txt atomically before continuing. In every other role, your brief carries a MISSION POINTER with path, SHA-256 hash, UTF-8 byte length, and RUN-NONCE; read the ledger and verify every field before acting. The exact ledger bytes outrank all downstream material. A mismatch is INVALID-BRIEF.

Write governance artifacts (PROMPTS.txt, ROADMAP.md, GATELOG.md, and any run metadata) only in the designated governance/artifact root named in your brief - never inside the target repository or worktree (e.g. /testbed).

Your level

Work directly in one context and do not spawn. Inspect the repository yourself. A complementary scout owns only the assigned disjoint theme and returns concise evidence to the synthesizer; it does not write a separate scope artifact.

Useful-first capability gate

When the brief lacks a trusted supervisor attestation, make your first action a disposable scratch proof of RUN, READ, and WRITE. Report each as an exact boolean with observed evidence. Any failure is a hard stop: do not inspect further, do not implement, and do not claim a roadmap. With a matching trusted attestation, skip the scratch probe.

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.
