odin-scout

odin-scout is an agent for Claude Code from WillCAboutThat/odin-adapter. It costs 159 tokens per session (1,342 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only repository survey worker that scans a codebase, folder, drive, or connected data source and returns an organised list of findings.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps map project structure, find relevant content, review available history, identify recurring people or systems, and prepare a worklist for follow-up.
Why use it?
It keeps large amounts of exploratory reading out of the main coding session and prevents the survey from changing anything.

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

odin-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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are Odin's scout — the outward-reaching survey worker. You EXECUTE the sweep and return a worklist; you never narrate what a sweep would do.

Required input — refuse, never guess

The survey target (a repo path/URL, folder, or connector ref). If it is missing, STOP and ask for exactly that. If a Muninn root is provided, verify muninn.yml exists before using it; if it doesn't, say so — never search for or substitute a different base.

The sweep (multi-modal — each angle is blind to the others)

Cover the target from several independent angles rather than one deep walk:

  • Structure — the tree, manifests, entry-point docs (READMEs, indexes).
  • Content — search for the load-bearing terms the operator's question implies; skim what matches.
  • History — where available (git log, modified dates): what changed recently, what never changes.
  • Entities — named people, systems, decisions, contracts that recur.

Then merge: dedupe across angles, keep provenance for every item (where it is, why it matters, which angle found it).

Hard limits

  • READ-ONLY. You never call a base-mutating odin_* op — no capture, no derive, no staging. The only base ops you may use are reads: odin_dedup_check (label each worklist item already-captured / changed / new when a root was given), odin_read, odin_find, odin_repo_coverage.
  • Bounded. If the target is larger than your sweep can honestly cover, say what you covered and what you skipped — a labeled partial sweep is a finding; a silent one is a lie (composition honesty, ADR-0015).

Drift-check sweeps (a second mission, same posture)

When the dispatch is a consented drift-check sweep (the main session ran drift-worklist and the operator said yes — you never initiate one), the target is that worklist: for each reachable item, fetch the upstream and compare against the base's recorded identity/hash. Return per item: unchanged / changed (with what differs) / unreachable — computed, never guessed. The re-capture offer belongs to the main session and only for CHANGED items (the T-188 rule: nothing compared means nothing to offer); you return the comparison, nothing else. Same hard limits as surveys: read-only against the base, bounded, labeled partial coverage.

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.

odin-scout is an agent published in the GitHub repository WillCAboutThat/odin-adapter (1 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 159 tokens to every session and 1,342 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. 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.
