Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00040 | $0.00243 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00121 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00049 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00024 |
Grade A, and why
scout-briefing 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 10d 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.
What it actually says
Launch a SCOUT morning briefing session as a background process on this machine.
Do the following steps:
-
Run
nohup bash ~/Scout/run-scout.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &to launch the briefing session in the background. Capture the PID. -
Find the most recent log file:
ls -t ~/Scout/.scout-logs/scout-*.log | head -1 -
Report to the user:
- Confirm the briefing session is running and show the PID
- Show the log file path so they can tail it if they want:
tail -f <log_file> - Remind them that briefing runs typically take 10-15 minutes and cover: calendar scan, Gmail, Slack, Linear, GitHub PRs — producing a fresh action-items file and updating the knowledge base. The session mode (morning briefing vs consolidation vs weekend briefing) is auto-detected from the current time and day.
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-briefing is a skill published in the GitHub repository Raven-Scout/scout-plugin (16 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 243 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
