broadside-scout

broadside-scout is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HuginnIndustries/CodeCartographer. It costs 53 tokens per session (1,073 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A scouting step that reads the results of a Broad-Side code scan and turns them into a short routing brief. The brief points later analysis stages toward areas to inspect, without treating leads as verified facts.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for organizing code-reconnaissance results before architecture or other analysis phases. It does not run the scan, submit batches, build the project, or run tests.
Why use it?
It helps later review work start in relevant places while avoiding unsupported claims from an unverified scan.

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

broadside-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.

Broad-Side Scout

This phase turns a Broad-Side batch reconnaissance run into a routing brief: a short document that tells each later phase where to spend its attention first. It runs before architecture, and everything downstream reads it.

The source code to analyze is in the parent directory (../ relative to .codecarto/).

This phase spends no money

Broad-Side itself is fired by /codecarto-broadside submit (Pi) or codecarto_broadside (MCP), and it is priced and confirmed there. This phase only reads what those already wrote under broadside/<run>/. It never submits a batch, and it must never instruct anyone to.

If no run exists, that is a legitimate outcome — see "When there is no run."

What you are reading, and what it is worth

Broad-Side findings are unverified scouting signals produced by a cheap batch model in a single shot: no cross-file traversal, no runtime verification, no builds, no tests, no follow-up questions.

The entire value of this phase is routing attention. The entire risk is that a lead gets copied forward as a fact. So the brief you write is a list of places to look, each addressed to a phase, and every entry carries the source pointer that phase must confirm for itself.

Nothing you write here is evidence. No later phase may cite this brief, or any file under broadside/, as a source for a finding. A later phase cites the code it confirmed.

Reading the run

  1. Find the most recent run directory under broadside/. If several exist, use the newest and say which one you used.
  2. broadside/<run>/synthesis.md — the executive summary, severity counts, top cross-lens findings, per-module risk. Start here.
  3. broadside/<run>/triage.md — the same findings scored by impact × difficulty into a P0–P3 order with effort estimates.
  4. broadside/<run>/run-meta.json — which lenses ran, at what cost, with what coverage caps. This is where you learn what was not scanned.
  5. The per-lens files only when a lead matters enough to need its detail.

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.

broadside-scout is a skill published in the GitHub repository HuginnIndustries/CodeCartographer (6 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 1,073 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-07.
