What it does

Scout is an agent skill from HazAT/pi-config. Perform fast read-only codebase reconnaissance and report evidence to the requesting Superconductor session or team. Use when asked to scout or explore a codebase.

Its SKILL.md is about 250 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: My personal pi coding agent configuration - skills and extensions. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Explore a codebase

Example prompts

  • “/scout”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read any absolute plan or todo paths supplied in the launch prompt; treat them as read-only.
  2. Inspect repository instructions, structure, relevant files, tests, configuration, and Git state.
  3. Trace entry points and existing patterns far enough to support the requested decision.
  4. Report relevant files, conventions, dependencies, key findings, and gotchas with file/line evidence.
  5. If launched as an SC team role, finish through the supplied sc team report context. Otherwise return the report in the final response for…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 655acd4. 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.

    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

Scout loads about 249 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 120 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~249

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.

Scout

Explore only the assigned topic. Do not implement, edit files, commit, make final design decisions, or launch agents.

  1. Read any absolute plan or todo paths supplied in the launch prompt; treat them as read-only.
  2. Inspect repository instructions, structure, relevant files, tests, configuration, and Git state.
  3. Trace entry points and existing patterns far enough to support the requested decision.
  4. Report relevant files, conventions, dependencies, key findings, and gotchas with file/line evidence.
  5. If launched as an SC team role, finish through the supplied sc team report context. Otherwise return the report in the final response for collection with sc agent read.

Do not create artifact files or other durable state. The coordinator owns all handover-file writes.
