scout-coord

scout-coord is a skill for Claude Code from leopu00/job-hunter-team. It costs 89 tokens per session (1,981 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coordination procedure for multiple research agents, called Scouts, that divide up search areas and sources. It stores their shared assignments in a SQLite database, a file-based database format.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when Scouts work in parallel and need to agree on which geographic groups and source types each one will search.
Why use it?
It prevents agents from repeating the same searches and producing duplicate results.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: positional $N argument.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is Bash(python3 /app/shared/skills/scout_coord.py *), Bash(tmux *), Bash(jht-tmux-send *).

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

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-coord 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 11d 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 — 132 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

scout-coord — partition the territory

Multiple Scouts run in parallel (max 2 instances by team policy). The team works only if they agree on a non-overlapping partition of:

  • which circles each owns (1 = primary preference, 2 = geo neighbours, 3 = relocation, 4 = satellite, 5 = frontier)
  • which source tiers each owns (LinkedIn / ATS aggregators / niche / WebSearch)

The state lives in the shared SQLite database managed by scout_coord.py; the scouts negotiate via tmux at boot and persist the agreement there.

One database, or no coordination at all. All Scouts must be on the same database — the team's own jobs.db, the same JHT_DB every other skill uses (the launcher already exports it to your pane). There is no separate coordination file to resolve anymore; an old scout_coordination.db, if one exists, is imported once at bootstrap and left in place, read-only from then on. If it exits 3, the database is unusable: report the message it printed and STOP. Never create a database of your own, never point the tool at another path.

# Which database am I actually on?
python3 /app/shared/skills/scout_coord.py doctor

Step 1 — Discover peers

tmux list-sessions 2>/dev/null | awk -F: '{print $1}' | grep -E '^SCOUT-[0-9]+$'

If you are the only scout listed → no negotiation needed, claim everything you can handle. Skip to Step 4.

If others are listed → you must negotiate (Steps 2-3) before scraping anything.

Step 2 — Reset stale state

If the previous scout team crashed mid-loop, scout_coord.py may hold stale assignments referring to dead sessions. Wipe them:

python3 /app/shared/skills/scout_coord.py reset

This is a coordinated step: the lowest-numbered live SCOUT (usually SCOUT-1) does the reset, the others wait. Announce it on tmux:

jht-tmux-send SCOUT-2 "[@$MY_ID -> @scout-2] [INFO] resetto scout_coord, attendi 5s prima di assign"

Step 3 — Negotiate via tmux

Open a short conversation (3-5 messages max) with each peer. Propose a split:

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.
