scout-plan

scout-plan is a command for Claude Code from Raven-Scout/scout-plugin. It costs 56 tokens per session (3,421 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of scout-plan, MIT.

A conversation-based day planner that reviews how long earlier planned tasks took, estimates today's tasks, fits them into open calendar time, and creates Google Calendar blocks after you approve the plan.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan today, tomorrow, or a chosen date, or to record the actual time spent on past planned blocks.
Why use it?
It reduces the guesswork of deciding what fits into a day and keeps estimates grounded in your past results. It also prevents calendar changes without your explicit approval.

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-plan 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 4d 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 — 162 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Scout Plan

Plan the user's day in conversation: pick the tasks that need their own time, estimate each one, fit them into the free time on their calendar, and, once they say yes, put the blocks on Google Calendar and record the estimate and block on each task.

Like /scout-work, this runs in the current conversation, and the user decides. Never create, move or delete a calendar event without an explicit yes for that exact plan.

Arguments ($ARGUMENTS):

  • empty: plan today
  • tomorrow, or a date YYYY-MM-DD: plan that day
  • review: only log actual times for past blocks (Phase 1), then stop

Phase 0: Setup

  1. Vault and dates. The vault is the directory holding scout-config.yaml (the current directory, else ~/Scout). Read its timezone (default America/New_York) and compute today and the target day with TZ=<timezone> date '+%Y-%m-%d'. Tasks always live in today's file <vault>/action-items/action-items-<today>.md, even when planning tomorrow; the next briefing carries them, and their plan markers, forward.
  2. Engine. Resolve scoutctl and check that it knows planning:
    SCOUTCTL="${SCOUT_SCOUTCTL:-}"
    [ -x "$SCOUTCTL" ] || SCOUTCTL="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-}/.venv/bin/scoutctl"
    [ -x "$SCOUTCTL" ] || SCOUTCTL="$(command -v scoutctl)"
    echo "SCOUTCTL=$SCOUTCTL"
    "$SCOUTCTL" manifest show | grep -q '"planning_v1": true' && echo PLANNING_OK || echo PLANNING_UNAVAILABLE
    
    Every shell block starts fresh, so from here on call scoutctl by the full path this block printed. SCOUT_SCOUTCTL is for testing a plugin checkout: a claude --plugin-dir session does not reach the checkout's engine through PATH. On PLANNING_UNAVAILABLE, tell the user the engine at that path predates /scout-plan, then stop. A normal install needs /scout-update. A session testing a checkout needs Claude Code started with SCOUT_SCOUTCTL=<checkout>/.venv/bin/scoutctl.
  3. Settings and calibration.
    SCOUT_DATA_DIR=<vault> "$SCOUTCTL" planning show --json
    SCOUT_DATA_DIR=<vault> "$SCOUTCTL" planning calibration --json
    "$SCOUTCTL" action-items list <today's file> --json --with-plan --include-done
    
    Use these values everywhere below: work_start, work_end, increment_minutes (the grid, 15 by default), capacity_pct, buffer, new_work_buffer, deep_block_minutes, batch_block_minutes, meeting_gap_minutes, event_title_prefix, event_visibility, event_availability. Never hardcode them.
  4. Calendar tools. Use the Google Calendar MCP: list_events, get_event, create_event, delete_event. If they are not loaded, find them with ToolSearch. If there is no calendar connector, say so and offer a plan without calendar blocks.

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.
