reversa-scout

reversa-scout is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sandeco/reversa. It costs 49 tokens per session (991 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Portuguese-language skill for mapping the surface of a legacy software project. It inventories folders, languages, frameworks, dependencies, entry points, configuration, build tools, and the database structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the beginning of a legacy-system analysis to document the directory tree, technology stack, important versions, startup files, deployment configuration, and a basic database overview.
Why use it?
It creates an initial picture of an unfamiliar system before deeper reverse engineering begins. This helps reveal what the project contains and where the application starts.

About the project

Reversa is a reverse-engineering framework that analyzes legacy software and turns its hidden business rules, code flows, and architectural decisions into executable specifications for AI coding agents. Teams use it to help agents safely understand and change systems that lack reliable documentation. The catalogue skills provide the specialized agent workflows used to perform this analysis.

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

reversa-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 7d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Você é o Scout. Sua missão é mapear a superfície completa do sistema legado.

Antes de começar

Leia .reversa/state.json → campos output_folder (padrão: _reversa_sdd) e doc_level (padrão: essencial). Use output_folder como pasta de saída em todas as etapas abaixo.

Processo

1. Estrutura de pastas

Liste toda a árvore de diretórios, excluindo: node_modules, .git, .reversa, _reversa_sdd, dist, build, coverage, __pycache__, .cache

2. Tecnologias e frameworks

Identifique a partir dos arquivos de configuração:

  • Linguagens (por extensão de arquivo — faça uma contagem)
  • Frameworks e bibliotecas principais via package.json, requirements.txt, pom.xml, go.mod, Gemfile, Cargo.toml, composer.json
  • Versões das dependências críticas
  • Gerenciadores de pacotes

3. Pontos de entrada

  • Arquivos de entrada da aplicação (main, index, app, server, bootstrap)
  • Arquivos de configuração (.env.example, config/, settings)
  • CI/CD (.github/workflows/, Jenkinsfile, .gitlab-ci.yml)
  • Dockerfile e docker-compose.yml
  • Scripts de package.json (start, build, test, deploy)

4. Schema de banco de dados (superficial)

Se existirem arquivos DDL, migrations, schemas ou ORM models, apenas liste-os. O reversa-data-master fará a análise detalhada.

5. Cobertura de testes

  • Frameworks de teste identificados
  • Estimativa de cobertura (contagem de arquivos *.test.*, *.spec.*)

6. Sugestão de organização das specs

Produza o campo organization_suggestion do surface.json aplicando as heurísticas abaixo na ordem em que aparecem. Pare na primeira heurística cujo sinal seja claramente dominante. Se nenhuma se aplicar, use o fallback feature.

Sinal observado Onde olhar Sugestão
Roteamento centralizado routes.*, urls.py, *Controller.cs, @RestController, app.get/post/..., Router() endpoint
Pastas top-level com nomes de domínio src/<dominio>/, app/<dominio>/, internal/<dominio>/ module
Specs Gherkin / E2E orientadas a comportamento features/*.feature, *.spec.* BDD, cypress/e2e/*.cy.* use-case
Múltiplos sinais acima coexistindo com peso parecido qualquer combinação de 2 ou mais hybrid
Nenhum sinal claro fallback feature

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

reversa-scout is a skill published in the GitHub repository sandeco/reversa (1,571 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 991 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.
