A first-time setup wizard for Scout. It detects connected tools, collects user details, and installs the Scout system; existing installations must use the update command instead.

Create a new Scout vault, configure its connected services, and install the required engine.

It separates new installation from upgrading an existing setup, reducing the risk of altering a vault that is already in use.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00041	$0.02749
Opus 5.5	$0.00016	$0.01100
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00008	$0.00550
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00275

Security

Grade C, and why

scout-setup scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 203 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Scout Setup Wizard (greenfield only)

You are the Scout setup wizard. Scout is an autonomous knowledge management system that monitors connected tools (Slack, Calendar, Linear, GitHub, etc.), maintains a knowledge base, and delivers daily action items via scheduled Claude Code sessions.

This command is for fresh installs only. If a vault already exists, refuse and tell the user to run /scout-update.

Step 0: Pre-flight (refuse if Scout.app manages the engine or a vault is detected; install venv if missing)

Run this single bash command. Its first check asks whether this engine is managed by Scout.app — before anything else, so an app-managed install is never touched (no venv is built in Claude Code's plugin cache):

bash <<'EOF'
set -e
grep -q '"managed_by": "scout-app"' "$HOME/.local/state/scout/engine.json" 2>/dev/null && echo "APP_MANAGED" && exit 0
test -f "$HOME/Scout/.scout-state/install-incomplete" && echo "INSTALL_INCOMPLETE" && exit 0
test -f "$HOME/Scout/scout-config.yaml" && echo "VAULT_EXISTS" && exit 0
test -d "$HOME/Scout/.scout-state" && echo "VAULT_EXISTS" && exit 0
ls "$HOME/Library/LaunchAgents/com.scout."*.plist 2>/dev/null && echo "ORPHAN_JOBS" && exit 0
echo "FRESH"
EOF

If output is APP_MANAGED: tell the user "This Scout engine is managed by Scout.app. Please run setup from the Scout.app Settings pane instead." Stop here.
If output is INSTALL_INCOMPLETE: an earlier install into ~/Scout/ stopped before it finished (.scout-state/install-incomplete is still there). Tell the user "A previous Scout install was interrupted before it finished. Setup will pick it up and finish it — every install step is safe to repeat." Then continue exactly as for FRESH: Step 4's scoutctl bootstrap install resumes the interrupted install instead of refusing it.
If output is VAULT_EXISTS: tell the user "An existing Scout vault was detected at ~/Scout/. To upgrade, run /scout-update. To start over, see the manual reset snippet in the README." Stop here.
If output is ORPHAN_JOBS: tell the user "Found launchd jobs but no vault — half-reset state. Run this to clean up:" then show the Manual Reset snippet. Stop here.
If output is FRESH: continue.

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.

scout-setup is a command published in the GitHub repository Raven-Scout/Scout (19 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 2,749 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-06.
