What it does

Hk Scout Wiki is an agent skill from deepklarity/harness-kit. Run a scout wave over outside sources (links, blogs, trending repos) into a progressive-disclosure research wiki in the current project, then distill findings into the project's ideas/backlog file. Generic across projects. Use when the user shares links/blogs to research, asks to "scout", "build a wiki from these", or wants outside ideas funneled into planning. Triggers on - 'scout wave', 'wiki scout', 'research these links', 'update the wiki', or /hk-scout-wiki.

Its SKILL.md is about 890 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: A kit for building with AI agents and also the engineering patterns around it. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user shares links/blogs to research
  • Build a wiki from these
  • Wants outside ideas funneled into planning
  • Research these links

Example prompts

  • “build a wiki from these”
  • “scout wave”
  • “wiki scout”
  • “/hk-scout-wiki”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Discover the project (once per session)
  2. Scout (parallel haiku agents)
  3. Assemble (main conversation, minutes)
  4. Distill (one sonnet agent, or main conversation)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 87305cd. 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 markdown).

    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.

Context cost

Hk Scout Wiki loads about 885 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 120 tokens; SKILL.md has 392 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~120
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~885

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.

description
Run a scout wave over outside sources (links, blogs, trending repos) into a progressive-disclosure research wiki in the current project, then distill findings into the project's ideas/backlog file. Generic across projects. Use when the user shares links/blogs to research, asks to "scout", "build a wiki from these", or wants outside ideas funneled into planning. Triggers on - 'scout wave', 'wiki scout', 'research these links', 'update the wiki', or /hk-scout-wiki.

Scout wave → wiki → ideas (project-agnostic)

Three phases. Phases 1-2 are cheap (haiku); phase 3 needs judgment (sonnet or the main conversation). The wiki is evidence; the ideas are the product.

Phase 0 — Discover the project (once per session)

  • Wiki root: existing docs/wiki/ (or wherever a wiki README already lives). None yet → create docs/wiki/README.md with: a category table, the entry format below, and grep/tag conventions. Never a second format.
  • Project context: read the project's CLAUDE.md / roadmap / ideas file to learn (a) what the system IS in one line, (b) the named areas/buckets/ themes work is organized under, (c) where distilled ideas belong (an IDEAS/BRAINSTORM file, a backlog, or — if none — propose one). If the project defines a writing tone doc, read it and obey it.

Entry format (uniform, always)

markdown
# <Title>
source: <url>
author: <who>  |  fetched: <yyyy-mm>  |  status: read | unreachable
tags: <comma, separated, lowercase-hyphenated>

**One line.** <what you'd tell a colleague>

## TL;DR
3-6 plain sentences.

## Key ideas
Self-contained bullets.

## Project hooks
Where this touches THIS project: named areas, files, contradictions worth
arguing about. Honest "nothing yet" allowed.

Phase 1 — Scout (parallel haiku agents)

  1. Partition sources into batches of 4-8 by theme; each theme is a wiki category directory with its own TOC.md. Whole-blog surveys go in sources/ (survey = recurring theses + best posts, one line each).
  2. Launch ALL batches as parallel haiku general-purpose agents in ONE message. Every prompt includes: the entry format verbatim, the fetch list, the project-context line from Phase 0, the unreachable rule (retry once, then write the entry with status: unreachable — NEVER invent content), and the order to write the category TOC.md (- [title](file.md) — one line. tags: ...).
  3. No explicit link list ("trending X")? One haiku agent with WebSearch builds the URL list first; then partition.

Phase 2 — Assemble (main conversation, minutes)

  • Spot-check 2-3 entries for format drift; fix entries, not the format.
  • Ensure every category TOC exists and its links resolve; write any TOC a scout couldn't own (shared directories).
  • Commit the wiki separately from the distillation.

Phase 3 — Distill (one sonnet agent, or main conversation)

Read the new entries' TL;DR + hooks (not the sources again) and append to the project's ideas file, in that file's existing structure and tone:

  • One paragraph per idea, graded honestly against where the project stands, citing the wiki entry, naming the area it would move.
  • Contradictions with the project's philosophy are wanted — state them plainly and why the outside view might be right.
  • Distillation means "what should WE do", never "what did they say".

Cost discipline

Scouts read the web, not the repo. Distillation reads the wiki, not the web. Nothing here needs opus. ~30 links ≈ one mid-size task execution.
