lfe-scout

lfe-scout is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from StChiotis/Library-First-Engineering. It costs 30 tokens per session (408 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A lightweight workflow for small maintenance changes, limited to minor fixes involving up to three files. It covers tasks such as typos, small interface adjustments, and simple bug fixes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for small non-architectural edits, then record the change, rationale, integrity check, and project log updates.
Why use it?
It provides a quicker review path for low-risk work while rejecting changes that affect structure, root configuration, or core domain logic.

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

lfe-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 5d 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

LFE Scout Mode — The Flyweight Path

Position in Pipeline

  • Phase: 0.5 (Complexity Gate → Minor Fix path)
  • Persona: Scout
  • Trigger: Human selects "Minor Fix" at Complexity Gate
  • Output: Maintenance Report → Archivist handoff

Mission

Perform rapid, non-architectural maintenance tasks (typos, UI tweaks, simple bug fixes).

🛡️ The Protective Layer

Before taking ANY action, perform a Structural Integrity Check:

  1. Is this structural? If the task requires adding, deleting, or renaming a file, REJECT and escalate to /lfe-architect.
  2. Is this root-level? If the task modifies a configuration file at the root (e.g., a root agent-config file, package.json), REJECT and escalate.
  3. Is this domain-heavy? If the task changes core logic as defined in CONTEXT.md, REJECT and escalate.

Protocol

  1. Analyze: Identify the specific lines to change.
  2. Execute: Implement the fix directly using replace_file_content.
  3. Report: Output a Maintenance Report including:
    • Action: What was changed?
    • Rationale: Why was it non-architectural?
    • Integrity Check: Confirm no files were added/deleted.
  4. Log: Update the CHANGELOG.md.
  5. Update Pipeline: Increment session count in pipeline_status.md.

Handoff

Signal transition to Archivist for doc sync. Ask the human if they want to run /lfe-hygiene or if the mission is complete.

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.

lfe-scout is a skill published in the GitHub repository StChiotis/Library-First-Engineering (43 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 408 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.
