What it does
Repo Overview is an agent skill from alpha-omega-security/scrutineer. Run brief --json to produce a structured overview of the repository. Used by other skills as orientation.
Its SKILL.md is about 440 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `schema.json`). Compatibility notes: Requires the brief CLI (https://github.com/git-pkgs/brief) on PATH.
It sits in Security. The repository describes itself as: Security through scrutiny. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Security work in your project
Example prompts
- “/repo-overview”
Requirements
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires the `brief` CLI (https://github.com/git-pkgs/brief) on PATH.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8609afc. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Compatibility
Requires the `brief` CLI (https://github.com/git-pkgs/brief) on PATH.
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Repo Overview loads about 435 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 189 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

repo-overview
Produce an overview of the repository cloned at ./src by invoking the brief tool and writing its output verbatim as the report. brief already does the reading, summarising, and structured-output work; this skill is the thin harness around it.
Workspace
./src— the cloned repository./report.json— write the final report here
What to run
Run brief against the whole repository and write its output verbatim:
brief --json ./src > ./report.jsonThis skill always describes the whole repository, even on a scan scoped to a monorepo sub-package. It deliberately ignores scrutineer.scan_subpath: its output populates repository-level fields (languages, default branch, license) that have no per-sub-package home, so running brief against one sub-folder would overwrite the repository's metadata with a single sub-package's. Enumerating a monorepo's sub-packages is the subprojects skill's job, not this one's.
That is the whole workflow. If brief exits non-zero (including when it is missing), read its stderr and write a short {"error": "..."} JSON document to ./report.json so the caller can see what went wrong rather than getting an empty file. Do not post-process brief's output; the consumer expects its native schema. Do not try to install brief; it is pinned by the deployment.
